Was reading a thread about the Sabretooth (Tiger Force) prototype and then I saw this:
Quote:
Nope. I've never heard of anyone having it. Not even a hint that someone might. Either it's still at Hasbro... was destroyed in the Great Hasbro Flood...
is sitting on someone's desk... in someone's box... was disassembled and kit bashed and repainted into something else here and there... who knows. Could be anywhere... anything, really. I can't even get a Tiger Force Steel Brigade so I'm not hoping to ever come across a one of a kind Sabretooth. Heheheh. |

He might not be referring to a literal flood... just the mysterious disappearance of casts and prototypes over the last 30 years from the halls of Hasbro. That's how I read it, anyway.

That would make sense if he was referring to that. But then again... I can see a billion dollar business like hasbro flooding themselves out like morons too lol

there have been rumors of a transport ship that sank with some Hasbro molds on board, and others broken during south American and Indian production, and others just worn out from overuse.

There was an actual flood, the sprinkler system or something broke and they had to throw out a lot of old documents, pictures and other things like that due to water damage. Theres a few posts on here about it, gotta dig deep to find it though. It might of been mentioned in that thread a few years back showing a bunch of old artwork from ARAH vehicle boxes.
Ah someone will come along soon that knows the story about it. The tank is awesome like that. |

Well there is the rumor of that hasbro doesnt know where the version 2 snake-eyes mold is for the figure and his sword .. The one figure that im my opinion really deserves a reissue in the o-ring style .. But we will never see that one again ... Sad really
