Word from Hasbro on Replacement Projectiles

[AdiGallia]

Here's what we received from Hasbro when we asked about replacement missiles for Attacktix guns (my thoughts in red) ...

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Hasbro, Inc. We are pleased to reply.

The replacement missiles you need are available for $1.50 each, which includes shipping and handling. [How generous! For a buck-fifty per missile, it should include more than just s-and-h!]

AR,CA,FL,GA,IL,MA,MI,MN,NJ,NY,OH,PA,RI,TX and WA residents must add applicable sales tax. [Ha! All you FLorida people who got Series 2 before we did---you have to pay sales tax.] Please give a complete description of the missiles you need when ordering. [Ummm, they're plastic, overpriced, and they fly through the air.]

To order, please send a check or money order, made payable to Hasbro Promotions and Direct to:

Hasbro Promotions & Direct
PO Box 693
Pawtucket, RI 02862-0693

[Or, you can do this: Since three projectiles are going to run you $4.50---more if you're in one of the randomly-selected unlucky states that have to pay sales tax to Hasbro---why not find some leftover Series 1 boosters on sale for $4.99 and buy those just for the extra projectiles?]

Thanks for the information AdiGallia. At least it is good to know where Hasbro stands on this issue.

[Joe Manzo]

Thanks for the INFO. It has been added to the FAQ

Eh, that actually seems like a fair price. As noted, if all you need are some spare reds and blues, buying extra boosters might be the best bet.

On the other hand, if you have lost a special missle like Grievous', it seems like a fair price.

[MasterTiMothee]

Yeah, I guess Grievous' would be worth $1.50---no other missile has quite the punch that his does. I would assume this also includes Force Pushes, and---if you lost Palpatine's---it might be worth it. Still, I think it would be nice if for, say, $10.00 you could buy an assortment that includes a couple of each projectile type.

That's a good idea only they don't sell S1 anymore and won't ever again.

In one of the TRUs near my house the keep on restocking series 1. Last I looked the had at least 5 cases of packs.

[MasterTiMothee]

One of our local TRU's is still getting Series 1 too.

Yeah, I find that too. Considering I'm only missing 6 figs from Series one (make that 3 once I get the gold base set), the chances of me finding a piece I don't have are slim. At my Toys 'R Us, they had literaly more than thirty packs of series one. We had, what, more than three months to collect series one, I don't think any of us really need more S1 packs.

However, with series two, I hope they do do this because I've only gotten about five or six S2 packs because of Christmas. This time, I want to get my hands on the most wanted figure in the series (Maul).
