Over the weekend, I stopped by a St. Louis based collector shop known as SAGA TOYS<\/a> (great place, I highly recommend it), and was reminded of just how terrible the state of collecting Hasbro products has generally fallen over the past several years thanks to the awesome display of older TVC figures that SAGA TOYS has on their pegs.<\/p>\n

Times are hard for collectors, and also for the retailers due to so many sublines of inferior product these days that appeal to fewer and fewer customers.\u00a0 We are truly hoping that Hasbro rights the ship with a great TVC line that goes on for years, brings back the glory of background aliens and droids, has a nice variety of army builders (with alternate heads), throws in a healthy splash of OT goodness, brings back good case assortments with nice distribution, makes smart use of articulation without over-engineering the figures, and puts an MSRP on the line that doesn’t doom it out of the gate.<\/p>\n

But is that really going to happen with Hasbro’s next dive into TVC?\u00a0 Do you all have that much faith in Hasbro to get things back on track?\u00a0 Do they even know how to manage the 3.75″ line anymore with the Disney media barrage?\u00a0 Share your thoughts after the jump<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
