That is a BAD thing to do in the retail world.You'll notice every major supermarket chain usually has their own brand of products in the store. One for everything else they sell. Normally its the cheeper brand. WOTC could have gone this route. Still selling other products while a bit more expensive then WOTC ones. They would have still made money... However they closed that idea down and sold only their own stuff. This is a mistake because as mentioned above all of these things are usually available elsewhere. Any "general wares" store sells toys and boardgames and they ALL have Hasbro products. (Considering Hasbro/Wotc is one of the biggest toy producers in the country.) Plus these places tend to sell them a few cents cheeper then wotc does at their stores.  Who's gonna walk into an expensive brand name store for a TOY?Its not designer clothes. Its not FAO Shwartz (which went bankrupt thanks to Target and K-Mart).  The "bean crunchers" really made a suicide bomb here and completly fumbled their "Knowledge (Economics and Buisness)" roll.  Now...if they really wanted to make a good buisness descison they would start buying out smaller chain store companies that sell mostly toys. After a year or two they would make back their investment.  I think there was a report on fox news citing a wall street journal report that the "cheep" toys most people buy (1$-20$) make up the bulk of toy sales.</blockquote>
