    Today on the Magic Squad, Hasbro tries to see how long they go with only Earthrise Arcee’s on shelves before facing bankruptcy.

    This seems kinda bizarre but I can't blame Hasbro for trying this. I'd hazard a guess that KilBurn are the ones actually doing all the work and Hasbro just approved the license and get a cut of revenue. I'm sure the target group of kids will get a kick out of some magic tricks. I think it's random as hell tho.

    Is this the best thing you had up your sleeve, Hasbro? No new figure reveals, but instead a magic show?

    Interesting. Cruise Ship's could benefit from this and an onboard Hasbro Toy shop... Hint hint.

    I fairness GIJoe should never been a movie franchise. It needs to be a television series there's just too much emotion too much character development. You just can't squeeze something as large as GI Joe into a movie

    If you include the steady stream of leaks, you’ve got your wish (Puffer and Ranger were leaked this week).

    Why are some people not happy unless a new figure is announced and put on sale every week? That’s not how this franchise has ever worked.

    I mean they do have a Snake-Eyes cartoon and live-action Lady Jade shows in the works.

    I hope they saw Flywheels in half.

    Reveals are likely being held back because product is being held back because of the numerous closed ports and shipping delays. They likely want to avoid revealing product that won't be on shelves for six/nine months or however long this miserable situation lasts.

    Unfortunately (or is it fortunate for us?) the toys are still being produced, just held up at port, so we still have factory leaks of figures that likely won't hit store shelves until next year.

    Was probably already moving by the time the big delays started. It's upcoming product that's going to be affected. It's not that things aren't shipping at all, but that the reduced workforce is slowing everything down. The current stuff is going to get priority, but there's no ETA.

    Without having any idea exactly when things are going to hit stores and at what saturation, Hasbro's probably holding back on announcements just to play it safe. Better to release product without warning than announce things that could be half a year or more out and have all interest die down.

    Doesn’t mean they still can’t reveal it unless Hasbro knew they couldn’t fulfill the pre-orders.

    I don't think they want to just unload everything on a single day, not when they do multiple Fan First events throughout the month.
