[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 6252691, member: 4348"] Just a slight correction... You ASSUME WotC is the largest portion. You may want to reconsider as that may also be highly contingent on what quarter you are talking about, and what has been recently released. For example, one major factor probably depends on royalty and repercussions from movie releases. I assure you, that the sales from Transformers in the past has not been lightly factored...and probably will also be another major factor when the next movie is released. My Little Pony has been gaining ground, and though it's up and down, NERF is perhaps one of the major brands currently as well. In fact, NERF has been more consistent in many ways. Finally, though WotC is significant (and I think you are referring to a report which showed a significant portion of sales from WotC, which I believe came after a major release of theirs (NOT a D&D release by the way), I think you may be discounting other brands such as the Marvel figures and characters (which actually are split into separate vehicles in and of themselves, so Capt. America, Hulk, etc.). Hasbro has many brands, some stand out significantly from others. While I think WotC is significant, to say it's the largest...I think is assumption/opinion on your part. Opinion is good, but I wouldn't discount the other brands until you know exactly what's happening or not happening with them currently. PS: I DO think it will be interesting to see which brands take the top in 2015...and NO...I don't expect it to be WotC that year. I expect it will be highly contested between two OTHER major brands in Hasbro. [/QUOTE]
