Hasbro's international sales rose 29% with their operating profit climbing to 40 percent, or $489.2 million, thanks largely to sales of Transformers, Nerf and Furreal product lines.
This good news for the second largest American Toy Company has come on the back of Mattel Inc. claiming record profits, despite a 3% sales drop in the North American Market.
Hasbro expects to continue with high sales through 2008 with the Transformers: Animated, Spiderman and Star Wars lines, with 2 feature films (Transformers 2 and GI Joe) to further boost sales in 2009.

Who didnt see this one coming? Seeing as how we paid most of their bills this year maybe they'll listen to us more.

Hey maybe they learned something after a whole year of Cybertron repaints!
Only repaint for half a year then break out new product quickly.
People will by the new thing more!

Does this mean they have enough money to afford making enough figures so that I can actually find them?

Really G.I.Joe in 2009?
I still think they should have a TF/ G.I. Joe Movie tie-in.
Have Snake Eyes/Cobra Commander capture Bumblee.

Not surprising.
As expected. TF is one big driving force behind Hasbro.
