[QUOTE="Plokman, post: 8911798, member: 7039451"] Indeed, they say the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time. Mattel for a time looked like it was going to listen to the fans for a IP that had been going at this point 77 years old, but no the made it into the same "act like kids are stupid" mentality that we have been suffering from since the 1990s. And I swore off Mattel save for Hot Wheels. Granted Mattel had only one IP I truly grew up with, Hasbro is a different story and it was only because of 5E that I got into D&D and TTRPGs as a whole. Now they have two franchises I love still, Power Rangers and Transformers I prefer to buy the license brands like Super 7 for Power Rangers and only Transformers I like. Star Wars died in 2012, so I won't buy the garbage Disney Swill but I will collect vintage. I know that so many people love to march and protest for the dumbest (and truly worthwhile) stuff at government locations, why the freaking crap can we not as a community (and I know there are just as many of us who like swill but like everything there is a half and half) march on Hasbro HQ and protest, I want my fellow community members to be safe, but as long as we don't carry weapons we are in no legal or federal fault.
