Pretty interesting. The numbers are far better for the toy industry than many others. Good to see that people are still going out and indulging with their collectibles.

That is good to see.
Hasbro itself has a big share with TF's, G.I. Joe, and Marvel Legends alone, nevermind all the other stuff they sell.
