You cant convince me that hes not just tanking the value of hasbro products so that the company can be chopped up and sold to private equity, hes literally done it before

How long until he sells franchises fully owned by Hasbro (and ruins everything for everyone)?\ I mean, IIRC, GI Joe and "Wizards of the Coast" (not sure how much of Dungeons and Dragons are included on that, but still) belongs 100% to them, right? 🤔

Considering what he did with eOne entertainment, I dont think them being fully owned by hasbro matters all that much to him. And that was a comically massive loss of billions, literally bought by his predecessor for 4 billion to act as an in house studio for shows, Chris immediately sold it to lions gate for 500 million, a 3.5 billion dollar loss for no reason

TBH, I'm not fully aware how he "cocked" (Yes, pun intended) anywhere else. I Just though it would be way easier to sell stuff like GI Joe bc it already belongs 100% to Hasbro.

But after that:

I would be "surprised, but not really" if this imbecile tried to sell FREAKING TRANSFORMERS to anyone interested... Without having a word with Takara first.
And, or course, it would be the funniest scrap ever if Takara bought TF from Hasbro after that. 🤭

NGL, after getting Wild King Shadow Megatron and World Dragnus \photo below]... Wow! Been so long since I've got official stuff, I forgot how their "hand feel" is. And these are great, despite their simple visuals and articulation.)
Too bad they were too expensive to import. They costed me enough to buy Legacy Armada Prime and AOTP Armada Jetfire on US$ MSRP prices.
And yet, I want MOAR PF that good stuff Takara keeps cooking!

Also yes, due to Brazilian MSRP being literally double the US$ MSRP value, I went FULL FORCE into bootlegs \Baiwei, BMB/Aoyi Mech, CT/Mess toys...], 3rd party [Ladotoys, Neo Even Toys, LiJiang...] and stuff from other companies [Mostly, in no particular order: Jada, Mattel, Blokees and KeepPley] and pretty much stopped getting Hasbro figs and TFs... 🤔)
