Over the years, we've seen many changes in the price of a basic figure. Anywhere from $4.99 to $6.99. Is the current price the new norm, or will the MSRP increase/decrease for 2007?
HASBRO
We do not set prices, but they are established by our retailers. We do not anticipate a rise in our wholesale cost from this year to next, if that helps. Beyond that, it's the individual call of the retailers for any pricing decisions.

Has Hasbro ever considered selling prototypes as part of their Hasbrotoyshop.com site?
HASBRO
No. Prototypes are tightly watched across Hasbro, since they are basically unsafe to play with, and we don't want them to get into any kids' hand. We defer to the larger initiaitve to make sure protos don't get out into the public realm.

Has Hasbro considered offering small amounts of booth space at shows for certain collector sites / fans to use to educate people or show off their collections? This could be an interesting way to involve the SW community and have value-add for booth visitors.
HASBRO
Our booth space is allocated down to the square foot for all participating brands along with HasbroToyShop.com, so having the space to host something like this is a challenge. It's an interesting way of building "community" and that's always a great thought.
