It's amazing we still get this many figs a year in a time when money's tight and non-electric toys are on the decline.

I hope the guy that announced through his "trusted source" isn't a betting man.

Remember too that Hasbro has an agreement with Disney to produce toys. None of us have any idea what that license entails but I'm sure the gist is you make toys and give us a percentage of the sales. If Hasbro stops making a line, they could be breaking the contract. So at least at some level, Hasbro will have to honor the agreement until the end of the license. There is a lot at stake for Hasbro to tick off Disney - the fact that Disney carries Hasbro toys in their stores well beyond what Disney licenses to Hasbro should carry some weight.

Also remember that it wasn't long ago that Hasbro was bemoaning the failure of the Legends line. It was even assumed that this would be ending soon. If Legends continues but it faltering and MU ends but is doing well, then there has to be more going on at Hasbro than we can begin to understand.

I don't buy that GI Joe or TFs is going anywhere as that is pure profit for Hasbro. And Star Wars is their cash cow. So what "big changes" are left? My Little Pony?
