They most likely pushed the 25th figs back until the movie figs have run their course. They did it before and will do it again I am certain of that.

Universe was the only line that carried the silver badge, so I'd assume it's say to say it's done.
And if they did continue the anniversary next year, that's just silly. It's not the anniversary.

You seem to be forgetting that Universe started LAST year and was not "25th Anniversary" then...Nor was it when it was "Classics"...So I don't see how the whole anniversary thing would have anything to do with whether or not it returns...

Uh...no.
That's not what I'm saying.
Universe will return from it's "hiatus" in 2010. (They pretty much said as much without actually saying the words.)
They started stamping the logo on the Universe boxes and cards which officially made it the 25th. Anniversary line for the year. ROTF and Animated both go sans logo stamp.
Now, Universe will return as it's supposed to, and I hope it stays just Universe. I don't want them slapping that logo on the packages for two reasons:
1.) It won't be the anniversary year. (It'd be a lie, really.)
2.) As you mentioned, Universe was Universe before they slapped that logo on, and it should be Universe (only!) when it returns. Slapping that logo on is just a desperate attempt to get the figures sold a bit better than they normally would.
I mean it couldn't possibly be that the figures themselves are worth the dough, oh no. They have to wear that whored out stamp to be worth anything, and even then it didn't save them from this year's chopping block.
I'm angry with Hasbro, not the fans, or the toys themselves. How we and they were handled, pisses me off.
It's a slap in the face to restart the anniversary when we really didn't get the celebration. At that point it'd just be to sell extra figures.
Screw that.

Oh, I see what you were saying...Sorry, I misunderstood But yeah I agree with that...

What I'm getting at is the fact that they make a show of wanting input from us and stroke our egos by telling us how much they belive that us older fans and collectors are a valuable assest. Being walked on I can handle, what I don't like is someone trying to blow sunshine up my butt while they're lacing up their spiked shoes.
