I love that Hasbro has the right to point fingers. Their products and product quality have been going down hill significantly over the past few years. Everyone has identified their issues so now they think they can pin their failure on ToysRus as of their bankruptcy. Quite interesting to say the least. |

"It's not that our toys are garbage, it's that we don't have enough places to sell it." Basically.

Sure Hasbro, sure. Blame it on TRU instead of your toys that are broken in package and generally crap.

Well I'm most familiar with the Star Wars Black Series line, and it never fails that every new movie they flood stores with a mass quantity of new figures and in no time those figures are warming pegs and shelves. Fast forward to the next wave and it's a couple new figures packed in a case of- you guessed it- the same figures that are already laying around stores because no one wants them. You can go to almost any Walmart and find Cassian and Jyn from Rogue Friday (2016) in plentiful amounts, mixed in with Kylo's and Rey's from Force Friday II (2018) and even some Finn's from Force Friday (2015). To unclog the drain, some Walmarts in the US were blowing older Black Series figures out at $0.03!!! That's one way to do it, but does nothing for Hasbro trying to push poorly packed waves on retailers. |

Not super familiar with Star Wars, but back when I was collecting (well, buying figures for my fav characters at least) Marvel figures, Hasbro was pretty similar - every store was PACKED with a ton of Marvel Legends that were sometimes 1, 2 years old. With those figures, it's even dumber, since they come with a part to build another figure if you buy the full set (which is honnestly bad in itself, since I feel like those figures are way overpriced). I still see figures they made for the second Captain America movie in store regulary.

Bandaii was making the figures more expensive by adding in part of mini megazords and driving their legacy line extinct. Now it is going to Hasbro... which lord Might Morphin will be back in the grave. |

I think it’s funny as I’m a PR fan though I tend to only collect either the higher end Tamashi Nations or Legacy figures, and everyone is like “Bandai was screwing us with either too low quality or overpricing the Legacy items. Yay Hasbro!” I’m here like “Let me tell you a story about Jurassic Park.”
Hasbro owns that entire franchise now by the way, so it could go the way of My Little Pony, or die a slow death like GI Joe.

Ah, G.I. Joe...I mayinly know it as that annoying group of military guys who sometimes show up ( alongside COBRA! ) to pester the Transformers. And those comics always do not have not enough annoying humans being killed by giant robots.
