Hasbro Says Transformers Sales Were Relatively Flat In The 2013 1st Quarter

[Sam]

Hasbro's sales were flat for quarter 1. Well if that isn't a surprise. Given the fact you couldn't find anything besides Prime Bumblebee and FOC Prime and Jazz I wonder why???

[chans formers]

lolz,sales probably wouldn't be so flat if there was "actually" tf's on shelves for consumers to purchase during that period.

WHAAAAT Hasbros still selling TOYS? Gee all that dough spent on takara's.... I could have bought local oh wait thats right nothing here to buy prime wave 2 upwards etc at winners too late,FOC still waiting for wave ? can't remember been to long since anything new arrived here back to Japan so sorry hasbro you blew it again (remember MP10)

Ya know what I think you are right. In which case a voyager would be smaller. Maybe the bigger one will be comparable.

lol, considering my cash went to takara, animated, and g1, along with everyone else i know, not surprised

Don't forget 3rd party toys. I spent more on 3rd party toys this year than any other year. The rest of this year looks to be very Hasbro heavy for me...which I never thought would happen again.

The CEO in the article mentioned they are transitioning stage from one line to another. I bought four deluxe class tf at winners this year so far. Hasbro will mostly likely rebound with upcoming product. It feels like Canada really missed out on distribution for tf's these last few months. Give Canada MP Soundwave first HASBRO!

"...these last few months..." ????? this past year was horrible.

[chroma23]

sales were flat because u didnt release the good shit like springer or MP soundwave (US version) in Q1?

Hmm yeah, gotta say, not much to buy since December for me either.

Other than Kreons, but I'm not sure those count...
