Hasbro Brand Collector's Survey

might wanna change the link pointer, it just reloads this article

Why would Hasbro ask about Barbie?

Last I checked, she was Mattel's property...

I've filled it in asking for the continuation of lines such as Alts and Classics. Titaniums too. Maybe this will point Hasbro in the right direction concerning us Collectors.

Working on the link, it's my first article...work with me here.

n00b!



I just asked for better paint jobs.

I asked for a change to the massive price discrepancy between the UK and the US (unlikely) and a return to square boxes.

What? I work in a toy shop. Do you know how hard those Cybertron boxes are to stack, or even arrange neatly? Unless I put half the voyagers/ultras on the shelf upside down I end up with big gaps everywhere! It just looks untidy

Gah. I should've asked for a bigger Bonecrusher. And a pony.

Okay, okay thanks to Cyber Bishop and Hot Rod the link is fixed. Barbie is indeed Mattel that I remember now...sorry.

This Survey gives everyone the opportunity to tell Hasbro to continue the Classics and Alternators toy lines after the movie toys have been released. So please do the same.

Survey submitted.

I'll tell you what I told Hasbro: "Movie Megatron, kill it with fire before it spreads.".

I asked that they bring back the Alts after the movie and lose the stupid bubble packaging. Might've suggested that three repaints in a trickle release series is more than enough too.

Also told them that the AFA was an overpriced joke.

Not that they'll listen, but at least my opinions out there in the database now.

I told them to stop doing so many repaints

I just took it. At the end, I told them to find some outlet to continue classics and to work better on distributing store exclusives, such as TRU Soundwave.

Guess who owns Mattel... Hasbro

I took the survey. Basically, in short, I requested that Hasbro stops with the ideas of making many of their products unobtainable by putting them in certain stores- like TRU- and make them widely accessable for all collectors. It would have been nice to see G1 back in Wal-Mart or some other store that I can get to.

Wow, I never realized that!

I told them that making Classics Thundercracker a Botcon exclusive was a really low blow! I also told them exclusives that attract scalpers are the worst part of this hobby.

Yeah me neither... I thought Mattel was the last hold-out to the Hasbro Empire.

Man, all the sudden I've got Tom Petty's Last DJ playing in my head.

I took the survey and at the end when you can elaborate on what you'd like Hasbro to improve on or do differently I pumped the idea of continuing the Classics and forming a partnership with Takara/Tomy to produce more G1 reissues. Especially molds that have not been released in a long time (i.e. Thrust, Ramjet, Trailbreaker, Ironhide, Ratchet etc. . ). Or molds that have not been released at all. (Man that list would be too long)

I said Moar Jetfire to Australia and GI Joes to Australia.

Posted my survey and told em that I didn't like AFA cause of the same reasons Cyber Tooth said. I asked em to make more damned reissues and make em available to the UK

Yeah, I rated the AFA low on every chance I got on the survey as well. Just drives the prices up and doesn't mean jack to me.

I gave 'em what for.
I told them we needed more minicons
cause everybody loves 'em.
I also let them know that spring fired weapons were dangerous
and they should stop making them.
Also that the 3" titaniums were the best thing they've made,
but asked if they would make them plastic, the metal could hurt someone.
I also let them know the Classics line was nice but we as a collecting group were ready to move on.
The last thing I told them was they should use brighter colors.
Transformers can get lost easily, but if they were easier to spot that would be less likely to happen. I suggested blaze orange on the tips of all weapons too.

I agree with the spring-fired weapons armistice- they're bulky and aesthetically unpleasing.

It would be preferable to see some well-sculpted, tastefully-decorated handguns.
