Rumor Mill
more like this here : Toy CultureFirst off 73 toys r us locations will be closing
before the end of the first quarter. Ive heard from
several people toys r us is currently sueing (and being
counter-sued by) Amazon.com . For what reason, I have no
fucking clue.
And on a retarded note, bukes either gonna love this or hate it.
This is the big news at the Hong Kong Toy Fair now on and which I have heard from sources that are there now.
Toy Biz Worldwide as many of you know is NOT owned by Marvel but a seperate company and that they are actually a licensee of Marvel.
In a shocking turn of events, it seems Marvel has now given the master toy license to HASBRO as of 2007. Fucking HASBRO!!
That means this is the last year Toy Biz will be producing Marvel toys. How this affects new Marvel Legends and Ghost Rider figures for 2007 is yet to be determined.
This is not as shocking as it first sounds - especially to people who read the press release in 2001 where it states that Marvel has only granted the license for 5 1/2 years which makes this year the last year for Toy Biz.
So what does this mean? It means Hasbro under the rule of the ever
dubious Mr.Satan is still going to get bukes money, one way or
another.
Remember , its all rumors at this point.
But who knows, maybe well get wolverines that transform into nemiodians that transform into a fucking Cheetor.
Toy companies hate us.
