1) Hasbro has produced some impressive new figures that ended up released on either store exclusives or multipacks (the cartoon colored BAT, the 2008 Joe and Cobra 5 packs, Alpine, the Rise of Cobra TRU exclusive Snow Serpent, even Lt. Falcon in a comic pack). Has the potential of rereleasing some of these figures in the single figure assortment been pursued? Possibly a fan vote?

A) We have to be very careful about releasing exclusives in mainline. One of the reasons that we can call them exclusives is the fact that they can't be found anywhere else. While we may release similar figures and vehicles, the chances are you won't see the same ones as in the exclusive packs.

They can always rerelease the exclusives as exclusives to another store. They've done this several times in the past couple of years with Star Wars figure packs, where Wal-Mart exclusives turned into Toys R Us exclusives a year later with the newer style packaging designs Hasbro was using at the time.
