It isn't hard to find out Hasbro's policy with regard to its subsidaries. I've never heard of Hasbro looking at a *specific* product line for a division. Hasbro may well like to gobble up smaller companies but they don't actually DO anything with those comapnies such as restructuring etc. Rumour has it that at most, being part of Hasbro means its easier to have lines move across companies and to do cross-merchandising. Hasbro most assuredly WILL look if a subsidary is not doing well or not as good as last year. Even then, Hasbro doesn't seem to panic and will give a subsidary time to right its own ship. I still say the only reason Hasbro is looking at WOTC might be because of the Dreamblade fiasco. THAT was a boondoggle and I'm willing to bet it caused serious reprecussions.</blockquote>
