Even the big ones can't do much more than gently prod you slightly. Most of them you can just pick up and move around like a lightly chirping football. "Threat level of a sleepy toddler" and "lightly chirping football" are two of the best phrases I've ever read on SA. Homeland security should update their charts.

Hasbro wants to be a clearinghouse for their brands, and not actually make anything.

Magnetic North posted:My guess would be some private equity firm no one's ever heard of. But at the same point, I cannot imagine a PE firm looking at WotC and saying "Oh yeah, they're totally undervalued and leaving money on the table." Hasbro has a lot going against it. Star Wars and Marvel movies either don't exist, or aren't moving toys like they used to. Nerf doesn't bring in the numbers it once did. People got sick of Transformers movies, and all their other movie projects have been bombs. They bought Power Rangers, but didn't really know what to do with it. They bought eOne for $4 billion, put them in charge of many of their media projects. Then reversed course and sold off most of eOne for much less than they spent on it. Disney is probably waiting for the stock price to crater some more, and buy it cheap.
