What
do I do with the Jedi Master Points on toy packaging?
Add flour and water
and turn them into a papier-mâché dewback? String them end to end
and use them to trim your next Christmas tree? When it gets really
cold, use them as kindling for the fireplace? Send thousands of them
to Hasbro corporate headquarters and let them figure out what to do
with them?
Actually, the
question of what to do with these little rectangles on the back of
Hasbro's figures and other Star Wars toy packaging is
probably the single most-asked question sent to Star Wars Insider's
"Scouting the Galaxy" column -- and also to Hasbro. And
the answer is that Hasbro, after working through many business and
legal issues, has made much progress in coming up with a cool answer
of what to do with Jedi Master Points.
"It has taken
longer than we would have liked," notes Jeff Popper, Hasbro's
director of marketing for Star Wars. Hasbro is hoping to be
able to announce its plans in the not too-distant future, once every
element is worked out. My advice: round up as many of those
ubiquitous Points as you can, and stay tuned!
