Yikes that sounds like a huge loss. All the more reason for the entire toy industry to take this TRU closing a bit more seriously. If Hasbro took that big of a hit I wonder how big of a hit company's like Mattle and even smaller ones like Neca took.

The loss isn't surprising and was anticipated when news of TRU closing was first announced. They'll be fine in the long run, but many toy companies who did business with TRU are going to feel the hit. And yes, companies like Mattel, Spinmaster, Playmates, NECA, etc, will be impacted.

Somebody is going to shoot this down, but just food for thought.... I wonder if putting new toys out for a globally recognized brand with a well established fan base that has in the past proven to be a very profitable commodity would help?

Maybe now they'll get there butts in gear and drop all that hiatus nonsense and get back to producing Joes to boost their revenue right now. I can only hope they find retailers since they didn't have anything to present at toyfair.

Something Hasbro should consider is opening their own stores, much like Disney. |

That's their biggest problem right now - What retailer is left who's going to buy their product? Wal-Mart was pretty much done after they got burned with so much overstock from RoC. Kmart is closing stores left and right, and now Toys R Us is out of business. Who's left? Target?

I'm especially worried about NECA. This will hit them way hard.
