The problem we have is that unlike the other Hasbro brands at the moment, like Star Wars or Transformers is Indy a small line and dependant on success of the movie. If the line had come out earlier, say in the 90s, we'd have done well weith them because the movies were still riding high on the s... read more |

I definitely don't agree that Hasbro doesn't know how to market to collectors: look at the G.I. Joe 25th anniv. Does anyone really... read more |

This is heavilly a store's fault. Lets look at it this way.
After the hype for KOTCS at the theatre, TRU thinks "great, a nice little earner here" so orders 3000 figures from each wave. Kids and collectors want the stuff and it does well, but only manages to move 1000 figures from e... read more |

There's a reason I said "arguably" on the Transformers thing. I think they're action figures. Some other folks don't. |

When it was first announced Hasbro would be taking over the Marvel line, I cringed. I knew how lousy they did with the Batman and DC lines, and that they would ultimately destroy the entire Marvel line... read more |

@Jmacq1
Mostly, the limitations are Hasbro's limited imagination, over-pricing, and inability to create a decent figure.
