IMO, a bigger blunder was Hasbro paying George Lucas $600,000,000 (yup,
that is the correct number of zeros) for the license to Star Wars toys,
and then watching what Lucas did to devalue the entire Star Wars
franchise with The Phantom Menace overkill.  This certianly hasn't been
a good time for management at Hasbro.
