I think the problem with this is that Hasbro has so many "parts" to their company that the person answering the Q&A's one week may be the brand manager and the next week its just a P.R. person who doesn't know much so we get constantly contradicting and misleading information.

it may be so that they don't have a clear game plan... but from a money-making standpoint, i'm not sure that is such a bad thing. it allows them the flexibility to jump on popular trends, sell a boatload of merchandise related to it, and then hop off the bandwagon and move on to something else. i think that is one of the keys to Hasbro's profitability in an increasingly short-attention-spanned society.
it sure is frustrating for us collectors, though, ain't it? |

I cant believe they dont have a baroness set for the role play category. Hasbro missed out on that one.

They change what they are going to do constantly. Which pisses some of us off and some of us end up feeling "misled". They go from the modern line is done once the movie comes out to its going to be available right up the movie release to they will both be on the shelves at the same time to 7 packs with no release date.
Not really sure how that is "misleading"

Hasbro has stated (since over half a year ago) that the modern line is going on hiatus when the movie toys come out (therefore both lines would not be both on the shelves at the same time) and that once the movie line ends, the modern line will come back. Nothing has changed, and they seem to be sticking to what they said.
Not really sure how that is "misleading" Not sure where this leaves product like the TRU exclusive Viper set, as others have said that exclusives aren't shown at shows like this.

Cobra 5-pack: (Storm Shadow/Baroness/CC/Viper/Zartan) Joe 5-pack: (SE/LJaye/Flint/Shipwreck/Hawk) Resolute 5-pack: (RES Flight Duke/ RES CC/ RES CTrooper/RES COfficer/RES BAT) I have the Joe & Cobra one already & will have the Resolute one this week, which is why I was wondering with this stuff all being out now (as well as the Greatest battles DVD set, which I should have soon), there is nothing else that is concrete for the Modern Era as far as upcoming releases other than what some of us already have or the announced 7-packs. Just our great rumor/computer listings list that may now be a wash until Movie product drops. Sorry again for any confusion there. |
