Wullf Yularen has seen a massive boost in importance to the Star Wars mythos with his expanded role in The Clone Wars, including his own Clone Wars action figure.

Is there any chance that because of his new role as a fairly prominate character that we will see a single carded Legacy Collection(Or even Vintage Collection): A New Hope version of him in the near future?

Come up with something else then.

One of the popular Legacy Collection Exclusives from late in 2009, the Dewback Patrol, which was sold exclusively at Wal-Marts, was never really spotted in Canada, unlike it's counterpart, the AT-ST. Is there a reason for this and will the Dewback Patrol be seeing a wide release through out Canada at some point?

How do you determine which figures will get to be a "build a droid" exclusive?

Do you have any plans, beyond "comic 2 packs" of releasing additional figures based on expanded universe (novel/game etc.) in contrast to characters featured in the movies or in the clone wars program? Specifically do you have any plans to release EU characters in standard figure waves?

I think I can handle most of this one based upon Hasbro's Q&A's from the last year or so.

The EU Comic 2 Packs have been officially cancelled and will be ending with the next assortment which will be released in roughly March.

The EU wave of Legacy Figures is due soon(already out in the USA I believe) with Jacen Solo, Jaina Solo, K"kruhk, Shaak Ti and a couple more.

Hasbro has said that they will not be focused on the EU again until at least mid 2011 if not later due to poor sales from the Comic Packs.

They do have two TRU exclusive sets, tied in from The Force Unleashed 2, due out this year.

As well some EU figures will be convention exclusives this year while the Disney theme parks will sell a set including two characters from the Ewok films.

Thats pretty much all we can expect to see in the next year, EU wise.

As for the BAD Exclusives, I think Hasbro is not going to be doing those any longer either. Maybe just clarify the question a little. If you want to simply ask which BAD droids get chosen, that would be different than asking about the defunct exclusives. I'm not sure which one your aiming for there. Let us know and we can send it in next time.

Question for the the next round are due March 18th. Get them in asap.

A few sites on the net have preorders up for some of the cancelled comic packs, more speifically Jaster Mereel and Montross. Now, considering Entertainment Earth scooped up the last cancelled comic pack, will we be seeing this set at some point, either in the stores or through some sort of online retailer like Entertainment Earth or will this comic pack never see the light of day?
