Site Maintenance: We’re All Fine Here Now…
Thanks to all that emailed and sent in questions regarding trouble accessing the comment system and individual news posts. The offending droids in the system have been dealt with and everything is back up and running trouble free.
More Wishful Thinking… :-)
We recently posted a wishlist for SDCC reveals in our forums, and now forum member localgotal has added some outstanding mock-ups for some Cinema Scenes that would sell like hotcakes if Hasbro would just make them like the pics he has shown. Check them out after the jump (but remember, none of this has actually been announced by Hasbro – but it should be!).
Happy Independence Day

Target Clearancing Hasbro Product Galore
We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.
It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality. So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line? Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?
Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.
Because this is a Democracy…
