In a stunning turn of events, NFTs connected to Physical toys flopped as concept. Much like how NFTs are unwelcome in Virtual Video Games, turns out Physical NFTs are also unwelcome to consumers.
Hasbro in 2022 went all in on this concept with their Starting line up initially started at 50 bucks because it included NFTs with each and every figure. This ultimately flopped because 50 bucks per cheap 6 inch figures sports figures is a brave and stupid idea. Ultimately Hasbro was forced to remove the NFT and drop the price to 30 bucks. Shelving the Phyiscal Toys + NFT concept for hopefully eternity. Jokes Reporting aside, I can't believe this was a thing, so refer to this thread in the future if Hasbro deletes more evidence of it. There was gonna be NFT DND and Magic the gathering and so forth, but unless it pops up in the future, the concept is probably dead. xxxxxx-----------xxxxx And yes once again, likely Chris Cock's idea or his regime management is responsible as this shit started in 2021 when the previous CEO died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Goldner I can not express in words how it feels to trace the bread crumbs to yet another hilariously shit idea from the current Hasbro Ceo Chris Cocks. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Links https://support.hasbropulse.com/hc/e...ungible-Token- https://support.hasbropulse.com/hc/e...T-Trading-Card Additional 20 bucks NFT.

It brings a smile to my heart when any company invests in NFTs only to have it backfire and cost them a fortune.

It was probably still more successful than Trump's "I'm a fuckin' old rich conman superhero!" NFT ridiculousness. Then again, rubes, fools and idiots love Trump.

Another head's up on the continued failure of the NFT verse and unintended consequences and draw backs of including physical Carded NFTs.
The NFT is on a physical trading card. Previously purchased stock that includes the NFT card like that on BBTs can not be sold at the new 30 bucks without the store taking a heavy loss so third party venders can not reduce their prices and are now stuck holding the bag. ---------------------- }}}}Hasbro pulse 30 bucks https://hasbropulse.com/collections/starting-lineup }}}}50 Dollar Third Party and BBTs stuck with NFT version. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Searc...0up&Brand=2287 |

I still don't understand what NFTs are supposed to be for and have no desire to learn.

It's an interesting philosophical conversation on value and even art though. The value of something is really nothing more than what we perceive its value to be (share prices and even currency value is based more on perception of value than anything tangible these days, for example), and art can be argued to be the act of creation and not the final product itself, but that doesn't mean I want to trade tangible assets I can spend anywhere, for something virtual I may not be able to resell or trade to another rube.

We have now reached the conclusion of this NFT story.
Starting lineup is confirmed to have been sighted at clearance at discount chains December 2023 so it's starting it's clearing out cycle etc. Price was $10 bucks to $12 bucks? Keep an eye out if you're at TJ maxx, Ollies, Ross etc.
