The responses you got for this just shows you how the "Hasblo" crowd shouldn't be taken seriously.

Notice how the really dumb decisions all come from the same place? No effort Rancor. Arbitrary price hikes. Reva's Lightsaber. Derivative Ghost Rider for $350 with stretch goals more desirable than the base offering. Twelve and under toys for a property that was popular 30 years ago. What do they all have in common?

Disney. People can pretend they have no say in what gets made but they're delusional. If you think what Hasbro makes is junk that's another story, but if you don't think they asked/insisted on kids toys to tie in with the upcoming movie then you actually don't understand marketing.

WOTC has their problems as well. And I'm sure the Power Rangers, Transformers and GI Joe crowds all have their gripes. Nothing compares to the continued blunders of the properties owned by Disney. Christ, the Joe brand is run by an obvious SJW and even she understands what moves to make.

If you dislike Hasbro this much I get it. I don't know why you keep buying stuff from them or keep thinking they're going to change, but I get why you don't like them.
