SWCEII: The Hasbro Panel Recap

This was one panel I had planned on waking up early for but unfortunately sleep kept me in bed. When I woke to the awesome coverage by Star Wars Action News I began to realize that sleep was the better choice. I did not expect them to reveal anything major but I had hoped they would reveal some new items. Unfortunately the panel was a bit of a let down. Many of the things they shared were things previously shared with fans at San Diego Comic Con. Here is a brief run-down of the panel:

The panel began with Hasbro and Rovio discussing Angry Birds:

Kicking off with Angry Birds II app … to be released on the back of 100 million plus downloads of the original app— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

Telepods allow you to use the micro code on the bottom of the figure to scan it and teleport it into the game #Hasbropanel— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

Star Destroyer set, Death Star Trench Run, Duel with Dooku sets & more plus a Vader Pig carry case for your birds in a nod to the vintage— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

This particular bit I think is pretty cool but I am not sure I would collect the figures. I might however if I decide to play the game. I did rather enjoy the original Angry Birds Star Wars game. After about 1/2 and hour they finally moved off Angry Birds and on to the Black Series and a few other things. Again this was nothing new but here is some of what was shared.

Wave 2 … Han Solo, Greedo, Boba Fett (available from the Hasbro booth with Han in Carbs still) #Hasbropanel— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

Fall Line Up – Anakin into Vader – 12″/13″ figure with light up saber, pretty cool if you’re into that sort of thing #Hasbropanel— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

Ultimate FX Saber that transitions from blue Anakin to Red Vader #Hasbropanel— swactionnews (@swactionnews) July 28, 2013

Well that was pretty much it folks. Not much else left to be said but for collector’s this panel was not quite what they were hoping for.
