Not trying to kill the line.
Sorry, guys it was just a typo. Sorry if I confused everybody. However crappy the products are, Hasbro is NOT trying to kill the line. They need it to keep going and even growing. They wouldn't have bothered to create a whole new line if they only expected it to last one year. And with the movie coming they have to be trying to increase the fan base as much as possible.
There is no conspiracy here, or anything. the new sculpt stuff wasn't selling. the ARAH 6-packs weren't selling because they were poorly executed. so I guess they said "Lets' try somthing completely new."
I know they claim the 25th Anniv. stuff is for collectors, (and that may be true about the packaging) but they're just saying that to make us feel good. Hasbro has to sell this stuff to kids to make it profitable. They want to keep us happy, and keep us involved, but there just isn't enough of us to make a difference. We proved that with the DTC stuff.
