[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6293090, member: 2525"] I have evidence it's all true in general for China, and I have evidence Hasbro prints a metric crapload more than Paizo from China. But more importantly, I am not the one that made the claim about a deadline, you are. The guy making the claim is the one that needs evidence to back up his claim. All I did was ask if you were speculating or not, and you claimed it was not but now appear to be backtracking and admitting it was speculation. You want me to find a quote in 2 and a half hours of something, to support your claim? How about you do that. For factory ownership, ship use, and printing bulk jobs? Balooney. Of course they don't. Those are the exact things you merge companies for to begin with! Getting savings on bulk production, with no cross-over in management, is exactly what big companies do. It's one of the reasons they are big companies! Those toys come with packaging, which is printed. Just about every single thing Hasbro sells, regardless of department, prints stuff. You really think they have no interests in printing factories in China? Heck I know companies 1/10th the size of Hasbro that have interests in factories in China. The packages they print for many toys are full color. And, there is very little difference in terms of factories. If they are a print shop, they generally do all printing. I would like to watch that again, but yeah that's "retail stores" not "GenCon". Nor is it Amazon and Barnes and Noble even (which get their books separate from brick and mortar shops in one bulk shipping direct from the warehouse). Again, I would like to watch that so a link would be great, but regardless that's to retail brick and mortar stores. I think they are holding PR for 1-2 months prior to release, because that's when they get the biggest bang for their buck. It's what most normal companies do. It's what Hasbro in general does. It's what several other people in this thread are guessing as well. [/QUOTE]
