    How about you make a list of all fans that will boycott them if they take down third party toys and send it to them? I'm sure that will make Hasbro think twice about wronging the 3P community.

    Spent some time thinking about Brian last night. Considering all the interactions we had, the speeches he gave the Hasbro family and his boundless energy - Especially around the Holidays when the entire company would take a ‘Day of Joy’ and go out into the community to deliver toys, food or clothes to less fortunate children and families.

    I remembered the last time we chatted. He asked me how my new gig on Marvel was going (He had this weird gift of seemingly knowing what every member of the company was up to). I told him I loved it but I really missed Star Wars. I remember, he looked me in the eye and said very thoughtfully, “Well… You can’t be Yoda forever Steve”.

    Thinking on those last words, I realize he was talking about change.

    Change is the nature of things. It is unstoppable. Inevitable. Change is necessary and, while our instinct may be to resist it, it is healthy. Change is life.

    And while yes, I do deeply miss some things from yesterday, I must learn from them today and use those learnings to change tomorrow.

    I think I’ll do just that…

    Cheers BG.

    Right….. As promised, we PLAY ON!

    I'm still shocked he actually passed away immediately after he resigned. Pulsecon is going to be very somber this year.

    RIP Brian Goldner, thanks for making the brand as big as it is now.

    Was Brian at any of the Botcons? For some reason, I feel like he stopped by the customizing class at the San Diego Botcon. I'm pretty sure there was a Hasbro executive there, I'm just not sure if it was Brian. Anybody know?
