Hi guys,
How are you all doing?
Many of you are getting confused with who I am, so now I will tell you...
I was formally known as JoeassicPark you know they guy who broke the news about the 2014 line of JP and there was question marks raised about that.
A few days ago it was confirmed the line was indeed coming out.
And why have I changed to Hasbro? Well I kept it quiet these past few months, I am indeed a rep and willing to answer any questions and give some details.
I hope this has cleared things up
Thanks

For a representative of a globally operating company your use of language seems quite unprofessional and immature.
Not to offend, simply observing. And I'm quite wary about someone claiming, out of the blue, to be a representative for Hasbro, something we cannot possibly confirm nor discredit.

If you're for real (which indeed is something not easily verified), how does this thing work exactly? Are you an actual Hasbro employee monitoring and posting on these forums and getting paid for it? Or are you, aside from being on the company's payroll, just an otherwise normal everyday JP entusiast posting on these boards for fun in your own time?  |

Hi guys,
I work for the social media side of things at Hasbro managing the Facebook pages and also work on the website.
Why do I come to your forum ? I come because we want to see what feedback we are getting from our fans and that I thought it would be nice if I dropped by and be here to answer your questions and get to know more about you guys, even if you have any ideas about future toys you would like you can always tell me and I am happy to pass your information on to our designers.
We at Hasbro believe in building a relationship with our customers and I know you guys are excited about the up coming Jurassic World line as well.

If there's no more repaints, that we're sure to be excited. I trust you understand excessive repainting (especially of the same few figures every time) has soured the community's faith in Hasbro? If Hasbro wants us to be customers, then that's something that seriously will need to end. If you can help bring that change about, we would greatly appreciate all your efforts. |

I don't mind repaints in theory, but repainting the same 2-4 figures each time, only the most diehard completionist will still be buying them anymore
I'd like to see repaints/retools of some of the more obscure/rare figures, since they are often in high demand it would be nice to have repaints for the more "casual" collectors to pick up

My sentiments exactly Neelis ... and I will further add that you should give us some kind of concrete proof if you want anyone here to take you seriously. At this point, I honestly will say that I am doubting your authenticity as a Hasbro Representative. -AC |

I have been in enough forums to strongly doubt this, I'm sorry. I wouldn't get too excited until he comes up with some SOLID proof of some kind

doubts or not I don't see the harm in going along until more information comes up We have reasons for not being too happy about possible Hasbro employees signing up on this forum to come snooping around. I doubt this person is actually a Hasbro employee: the proper way of going at this for him/ her would have been to approach the moderators of the forum and explain the objective, not showing up and dropping a message such as this one, exciting people for no good reason. Not one second do I believe fans would have influence on any decision making a big company, such as Hasbro, does. There's too much at stake for them to let fans have a say on any matter. We can agree or disagree with anything they decide to do or not do, in the end, it's a company that's out for a profit, not some goodwill organization catering to hardcore fans of specific franchises. Their target audience is kids. |

While I'm inclined to agree with what to what you're saying, Neelis, I do have to point out that the Brony fandom has influenced Hasbro to some points, including Hasbro licensing out the ip to create more "collector" oriented buyers.
