Title: 2018 - Hasbro SW License Ends
Post by: DeathStarDroid on April 22, 2011, 02:30:12 PM
I thought Id start a topic on the issue of Hasbro's Star Wars toys license ending in 2018.

How does everyone here feel about that?

Do you think they will re-new it?

Star Wars Collecting for life! How will life be with no new figures again?

The license survived the end of the movie saga and they're more open to EU now. So, there's plenty of life in the license still.

as long as it makes money, I imagine they will renew it, but it would be interesting to see how another toy company make them...

What with the saga being released in 3D over the upcoming years, I am absolutely positive that Lucas Arts will renew Hasbro's license. One of the main reasons for Star Wars' being such a worldwide hit for over 30 years is the toy line. It's made George Lucas a very rich man and I doubt he'll ever cease the license, unless Star Wars stuff starts going down hill, which I doubt it will.

So basically, I don't at all fear they'll stop Star Wars toys and merchandise. They better not, anywho! :P

there are a few other companies that makes figures, I'm sure there would be someone willing to do it, but like I said, I'm sure it will be renewed eventually

I think ANY company would want to take on the Star Wars line. It makes George Lucas the rich man he is, I'm sure some other guy would be more than happy to have a Star Wars license.

By the time SW ends with toys, Sithfire will start pumping out his own for sale. ;D
