What if anything is the difference between this version (98927) and the Hasbro version (A4625)? This say 1,500 new questions, the 2nd says 5,000 total

I went directly to the Hasbro website and requested a live chat and asked your specific question. Answer: A4625 has approximately 30% more words/phrases. So, 6,500 total. Both retail for $22.99 on the Hasbro site.

After EXTENSIVE searching with no luck.. I contacted Hasbro and their support was very helpful. There is absolutely NO difference in ANY of the Interactive R2-D2 Astromech Droids for sale anywhere. Only the packaging is different, the actual product (R2-D2) is EXACTLY the same. Hasbro discontinued and re-released it numerous times, hence the packaging differences. But the assured me they are all the exact same.. So don't waste your money on a more expensive one!!!

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

I've heard that it varies. Mine did not ship with the most up to date version.

Do you know which one is the first version, I'm a bit confused for what I have read online. /:

This is not the 4th edition. The one I received was the first edition from the original Kickstarter campaign. I still had to purchase the factions pack 1 and the upgraded plastic components. (The plastic domes, rocket VP trackers, and the three plastic components for the repulsor field, isolation field and the positron field) However, there is a new kickstarter campaign that includes the new 4th edition with the new Rocket dice. You might want to check that out! Hope this is helpful. I really do enjoy this game. Simply a fantastic system and enjoyed by all whom ever I teach it to.

I don't know what the deal is with the 2nd edition.. it says Copyright 2004 on the box.. but the other catch phrase game doesn't say 2nd edition, yet it says Copyright 2009.

Hi Kendyl, Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

My guess is that this is the R&R; version. If you want a specific version, you can probably find someone selling it on BGG.

The one I bought was perfect. Packed in a white Hasbro box plus the Amazon shipping box. I would say they have fixed the problem.

Judith, there really is no difference. I bought the one marked "1996" version first, because that's how I remembered the box. It also costs more than the newer version. The only outward difference is the external look, one is white and the newer is blue and red. I then bought the newer version, thinking it was different. The ONLY difference concerning contents is the new version has an additional rules sheet in Spanish. Otherwise they're identical. The size of the box, the game cards, pieces, and board are all the same. Buy the one sold by Miles Kimball, it's the cheapest and has free shipping. Hope this helps.

Did you ever find an answer to this?? Have you bought one? I was looking to buy the new one and have gotten two OLD ones (one from amazon, one from barnes and noble). I was going to return both in my quest for the new one but upon reading reviews... it seems the old one will accomadate matchbox cars better... but the elevator is more prone to break. I like the overall look of the new one - but I don't like that the elevator is smaller. I really don't like the idea that matchbox cars might not fit. I am going to call plan toys today and see if they can tell me. All I know is this was supposed to be the BIG christmas gift for my twins this year and now it's 2 days before Christmas and I have run into a problem I didn't expect to have.

The version I have (2007/2008) has the games you ask about plus 24 more, some very good and some not so. Double crossword game is very good, plus the slide tile game is a real favorite. Well worth the money for these games.

I don't know anything about the older version so I can't help you, sorry. New is good?

It doesn't look like you can. I'd try calling Hasbro Customer Support to see what they say. You never know.
