I can see where Hasbro cashed in on Transformers. I'm a perfect example.

I used to be HARD CORE in to TFs. Regardless of whether they were made by Hasbro or Takara or BOTH, chances are, I owned the figure at one time or another.

My collecting died down right around Armada...

That being said, with the release of Classics, I was right back on the bandwagon.

So, if you factor in how many other people out there are like me, and do like I did...it's easy to see where the profits came in to play.

I can't wait to see Hasbro's earnings for the 3rd & 4th quarter....GO JOE! (er, YO JOE, but you get the idea! )
