Just how it is now. Lower everything- quality,articulation,paint control. Everything lowered except price.

As for Hasbro using different factories, I don't see it happening. I have read about talks of it, but think they will stick with what they have. The factories will most likely be staying in China. Just watched a news film on manufacturing in India versus China. The factory itself doesn't belong to Hasbro so it isn't theirs to move. Until a decent is built to compete, the Chinese factory will still get awarded the Hasbro contract I am pretty sure. Too many unknowns and we all know they have enough quality control issues as it is. Imagine the same factory that produces Chap Mei making Hasbros figures! The horror.

Did it again Kernal!

Actually Hasbro has already relocated to vietnam the last 5 years, at least for their TF's that are being made. Here's an article. Hasbro Moves Some Toy Manufacturing to India. Why and Why Now? - Global Toy News Basically China's asking for more $ on labor wages...

Need to buy my ticket this Thursday...didn't realize Zoolander 2 is coming out too, it's probably going to get spanked by DP

Now that should be an ad!

I did grab most of the new ML wave, just need Spider-Man Noir, can't believe I'm paying 13 bucks for these. Hope there's some type of TRU sale coming up for Marvel figures...although funny they dropped the MI prices down to 8...
