Yo all,
What do you all think about the closing of that big factory in China? It doesn't seem like it handled hasbro products, but that can't be a good sign. Articles also state that half the toy exporters (mostly small ones) have gone under. On one hand it seems like it's bad because costs might go up/sharing remaining Chinese resources. At the same time there is less toy competition for Hasbro in general so maybe their sales will increase? Maybe they can dedicate that entire factory into making Pimp Daddy Destros and Rowdy Pipers. |

Maybe we should bring Mexico on board.

I believe it's been determined that it would actually be cheaper right now for most foreign manufacturing to be done in the good ol' US.
The downside is that it would take years to get it all up and running and the construction necessary would wipe out any reasonable profits for a decade or more. Odds are, manufacture will remain where it is. Keep in mind I'm educated in news snippets |
