What positions do you want contact information for at Hasbro?

I just hope the hasbro heroes come back by popular demand... they could've atleast had a few fan choice waves .. to prepare us for the end and getting us what we wanted (need..) .. what are the chances of online exclusive lines for the heroes (IJ, GI Joe, Transformers,GH.. and maybe SHS) to further the line for collectors and youngsters still interested... Online exclusive lines seem to do pretty well..

another depressing thing is the new playskool line might drive SHS out. If you look at them they look more like the shows characters more than the actual SHS figures.. so when a kid goes down the toy aisle looking for figures from the show they will go for the playskool and not the SHS.. and with there only being 3 pack with 2 repaints parents would more likely go for the probably cheaper all new figures..

Sorry, I meant Hydra 3-Pack.
This sucks. Good news is that we are a getting a Sif. Bad news, is that we don't really know how much life this line has. The new toys are "ok", but nowhere near as cool as the SHS line.
Are we still getting Hercules wave? Again, this sucks. I really like Galatic Heroes too.

If they're going to kill it, it's not beyond Hasbro to do a comiccon exclusive unreleased figure set. They announced that this year they're going to be selling the 5 unreleased figures from the 4" Indiana Jones line at comiccon. Perhaps later down the road, they'll have a set with Kraven, Warpath, Herpzibah, and any other unreleased ones.
I should give up hope of them ever rereleasing Storm, Rogue, or Professor X. I still think Hasbro could make bank if they an equivalent of Matty Collector for rare rereleases and collector oriented exclusives.

Eh, it sucks for the big fans but I mean, it's been around for a while. Things change. This line looks just as fun, just a little different.
As for the "this is a stupid decision by Hasbro since everyone else is imitating them now", don't you think it works the opposite way? That maybe now they want to reboot and do their own thing again?
Either way, SHS is continuing apparently. So it's not all bad, guys.
I'm happy about this personally. SHS is too far in for me to complete without it being a pain in the ass. This, I'll start collecting from the get go.

That Cap 3 pack is crap. A repainted Bucky Cap and Motorcycle and a Hydra soldier that looks distinctly average.
My favourite superhero and they aren't even going to give him some decent sets by the looks of things. Sigh.

I think we all need to rally and send e-mails AND phone calls to folks at Hasbro. I find that talking to someone on the phone speaks VOLUMES over the written word. They can crumple up a letter or delete an e-mail, but you have more control via a phone call.
Jester....can you please hook us up with the head honchos contact information so that we can voice our concerns? I want my Kraven and comic based Scorpion.

I wish we had someone on the boards attend the ToyFare. I don't like hearing that SHS 2 packs will be phased out, but it sounds like somebody is misinformed. b3n4.....are you planning to call Hasbro? If so, see if you can find out what the low-down is regarding SHS 2-packs. I hate to say it, but this might be the dawn of the age of customizers. I wish atgscl hadn't screwed us all over and succeeded in making cutoms and casts for new figs. That would have helped us all out! Really REALLY hate those "imaginext knockoffs" Hasbro is pushing now. It's true that Imaginext's playsets are the selling point....NOT the figures. Hasbro clearly shot themselves in the foot on this. My brother is an an art whiz and I have him trying to cast some shs stuff. I will keep you posted on how that goes.

Marvelous news says: "These will not be replacing the Super Hero Squad line and will be found on the preschool aisles as opposed to the regular action figure shelves. " marvelousnews.com/index.php?catid=23&itemid=13853All together, this makes no sense. Did they not say the SHS was doing great last year? Why would Hasbro stop a prospering line out of nowhere? No few months warning about the cancellation on a line which created an entire show? I believe this is all just mass panic here. There has been no OFFICIAL news that Hasbro will cancel SHS because of this new toy line. As for the reused vehicle molds, the answer is simple: it's Hasbro. They reuse molds all the time. I think we should all hope (and pray) that this new line will have no influence on the existence on SHS. Once clear answers are given, we'll know for sure.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of this news. I'm curios to know if we will still get the Tiger Shark/Hercules wave and while we will still get a few movie pack here and there, it's still relatively bad news. Sucks overall, but I guess wait and see applies for now.
