[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8242559, member: 4348"] It varied. I think in 1992 they had something close to 90+ million (gross...NOT net), And in 1993 they had over 100 million (gross...not net). Still, they hit rock bottom pretty quickly after that...because gross doesn't tell the whole story. They were spending plenty of money as well, and licensing (for example, Buck Rogers) was funneling money away in a way that I feel was almost fraudulent in some ways. Other places they had debt building up for YEARS, and when it came due...it came crashing down hard. TSR itself wasn't doing as badly as some suppose when Gary lost it. I think they had around 25 - 30 million (Net?) in the early to mid-80s which is not doing that badly themselves (and probably a LOT MORE in gross, considering the popularity at the time). That's around the equivalent of 100 million dollar industry today...or somewhere in that range. It's up there. That one company was bringing in some pretty major money. However, it wasn't all roses...there were other income and debt problems that were threatening the company...but the sales were actually not bad at all. [/QUOTE]
