I'd be surprised and amazed if D&D pulled in even half the revenue that the GI Joe division alone does; I might well be wrong, too, but it seems at least on the surface to be a logical conclusion. On Hasbro's homepage, there is a link to Wizards, but not a D&D icon. If it really meant that much to them, wouldn't it have it's own section right there up front? Even if you go to All Brands, which I would suppose lists all the brands that Hasbro deals with, D&D is not listed. Heroscape, Lord of the Rings, Pokemon, and Avalon Hill are there. We don't even rate the same as Hungry Hungry Hippos.Then again, Magic isn't listed there and it even has it's own site listed off the Sites bar, so maybe it's just incompetant web design and miscommunication. I certainly don't think D&D is penny-ante in the world of RPG's, but I wouldn't have much trouble beleiving the entire RPG industry is penny-ante when compared to the big toy and game lines Hasbro supports. How off is that?Eh, I guess it's part of our culture now. Big and medium corporations have lied to us, all of us, so many times that we assume they're always lying now. It just wouldn't surprise anyone here if some Hasbro rep came into your office tomorrow and said 'get out' and that would be all the warning anyone would have. Sad and smacking of tin-hat-itis, but there.</blockquote>
