A season two for Earthspark is already confirmed? They really didn’t event wait for the first season to drop so they can see if people actually like it (practically impossible)? Wow.

 

Uhh..you do know this is a thing most shows do.

The owl house, ghost and molly mcgee, etc. shows getting a second season before the show arrives has been a thing.

 

Are they not already? I bought Generations Voyager Brainstorm for $20 back in 2014.

 

You know what I mean. About current price classes reaching the next one.

 

Here in TX a Deluxe costs $30 after tax. Ouch.

 

What did you mean?

 

I thoroughly enjoyed ROC and the semi scifi element to it. That was a great way to do modern GI Joe i thought. I also know it still wasnt well received

 

What? Target sells them for $22.99. Pulse sells them for $24.99. How much is your tax?

 

Whoops! Was a lot less than I thought, 27 instead of 29. Still hurts.

I was just hurt by the price on such a small figure, BBM WJ.

 

lol i bought a deluxe elita and a coffee half an hour ago in texas for $27. also in case anyone is curious: those coca cola coffees are weird. Do not recommend

 

SS cost 2 bucks more, good thing I never buy them.

 

I wish we\'d get a season 2 of Botbots too.

 

Lol I round up when out shopping too.

 

I will say with the price hikes things are shelfwarming heavily in my area especially legacy wave 1

 

I could use some of those shelfwarmers. Way too many collectors in my area, some stores have had 0 TF stock for weeks. I have to check frequently to get anything. It's normally just the TFs that are wiped out too, so it's definitely not just me out here. Haha.

 

OMG bruh I fucking hate my youtube for recommending me fake leaks for this movie lol. I mean as fan animations they look good, but bruh

 

that was the exact clip that popped up in my recommended lmfao

 

“Targeting a level of hype akin to spiderverse” I love the language these guys use it’s so human and organic

 

I just want to say that I am absolutely concerned about the idea of growing profits 50% over 3 years.

I'm not an alarmist who thinks that ALL has to come from price hikes. Certainly, less licensing, leveraging your own IP, selling more through Pulse and Fan Channels (eliminating sale and clearance expenses owed to big box retailers), smart selection of products, growing successful lines while taking fewer risks on others, reaching more customers, and selling more digital goods with less manufacturing overhead can all contribute to a healthier bottom line. Mix in even modest and selective product budget cuts and price increases on even some items and you can certainly grow profits.

No problem there.

The problem is with the 50% target. This is a mature market segment that is highly competitive. On top of that, the overall rate of economic growth isn't going to be anywhere near that. Add to that that a majority of Hasbro's sales are ostensibly to children and in addition to kids moving away from toys as a longterm trend, Hasbro's lucrative markets are in the developed world where birthrates are at or below replacement rate.

To be clear, what I learned in my MBA was largely built on efficient market theory and that says essentially that you can't -- for a sustained period -- outperform the market rate of growth without essentially insider trading, crime, government corruption, or dealing in highly inelastic demand goods -- examples of which would be addictive narcotics or lifesaving essentials like insulin.

The market rate of growth per year is something like 2%. So 6% over 3 years would be doing well. 10% growth over 3 years would be fantastic.

I don't see how you hit 50% in 3 years without being exploitative in some way.
