I'll post this in the news later, the boy is trying to get me off the computer right now, so I'll post this here for now... it's from Hasbro in advance of Celebration next week:

Droid Factory Parts Swap at Celebration VI: “Yes, these are the droid parts you are looking for!”
As part of Hasbro’s activities at Celebration VI, the Hasbro team invites fans back for the Droid Factory Parts Swap. Bring your spare parts from the 2008-2009 Droid Factory run and swap 1-for-1 for parts to complete the droids you need. Not all parts for all droids are available, but may be traded in by other fans during the Weekend, so check back often and happy trading. Also, Hasbro will be giving away Droid Factory posters (while supplies last) in its booth. Uttini!
I don't see Episode VI Weequay Hunter listed. Is he still part of the case or did Hasbro just forget to include him on the list?
Nice catch. BBTS lists him, so I guess Hasbro left him off by accident? I'll mention that once I get around to posting some news tonight.
This...this is a bad sign,right? I dont EVER recall a SW wave not making it to retail. And I have yet to see the wave with Aayla Secura,Darth Malgus,and that Bounty Hunter chick show up in any of my toy runs...my stores are still choking on PHANTOM MENACE 3D figures though......
I'd like to flag this offensive please.
Man, pretty soon everything is going to be purchased via sub or online store. Sad.

I'd imagine you can thank the Phantom Menace permafrost, at least to some extent, for why this last wave is Internet only. I can't imagine many stores are interested in Star Wars, at the moment, with a glut of stuff that's been sat there since the beginning of the year clogging the pegs.
Whenever Hasbro agrees to take all that stuff back, and hopefully sends the bill to Lucasfilm, LTD., I think you'll see Star Wars flowing again.

I'm sure all of those PHANTOM MENACE toys WILL be cleared away at some point...to make way for ATTACK OF THE CLONES....IN 3D!!!!!!
I just made myself sad
