[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4544576, member: 70778"] There could be a bit more into it with China, but most of those things are political in nature.... But one point is China is not that green and clinging to out-dated technologies. Take swapping out petroleum to soy, which they should have plenty of, and they could reduce the costs of minis for every company to allow for lower prices for the consumer and great chance at keeping the product alive. I have spoke with several people the past day and they don't understand because the Clix were bought by large numbers. I think the fact that Topps is not really the gaming giant for minis may be a point, but that would lead to hope that they could sell off WizKids to someone, maybe even Hasbro to collect even more of the gaming industry. Someone who is interested in the gaming portion of the company. So you may be in big part correct about why WizKids is going down because it isn't what the new parent company wanted out of the deal. :( But would they try to bring back the popularity of sports cards?
