Let us all get on the same page. Hasbro has us in their thoughts around 90% of the time. The rest of the time is spent thinking about the hot girl down the street. I'll explain.
Hasbro understands money. They have a responsibility to the shareholders. HAS ticker NYSE. HAS - Hasbro, Inc. - Google Finance I, and all of my friends have come to terms with the hiatus (some took it harder then others) It's happend before and it will without a doubt happen again. I shouldn't have to bring up the transfer to Kenner. It's a marriage. They think they can do better at the moment (single mom down the street) I.E. turn out a single line with a major motion picture to back it up and make a killing. However, when they realize how good they had it they will show up with roses, a thoughtful card and a stinger with a giant red bow on it. They will come after a time.

They already said classic product will return after the movie, alternating/blending with "movie" product.
But I highly doubt the movie toys are going to be nearly so unsuccessful as folks seem to think. The movie looks a lot like Transformers did...and Transformers made mad money both at the box office and on the toy aisles no matter how much the old school fans whined about it. |

Beautifully said.
Although we might prefer a dozen or so single carded figs from the seven packs. It'll last longer than the roses. But they better bring the stinger or the deals off! |

I am not worried either. The slow down in product will let me save some $. And if I really feel the need to get some new Joes I'll just army build a little more.

What transfer to Kenner? Hasbro absorbed Kenner in the 90's. If anything, the transfer was from Kenner to Hasbro. Just asking for clarification, that is all.
