Got a Question for Hasbro? Ask it here! (x-posted from Fair board)

[Zenobiaa]

I am not pleased at all with this "question and answer". Mostly evasive answers, and the most of the few answers that were given weren't exactly something to be very excited about. No male ponies for the rest of the year. No new poses (stop being lazy gosh darn it!). And no sea ponies D| I hope they do sea ponies eventually :<

[Folly]

I know :< I KNOW there's a lot they're legally not allowed to talk about, but it's really a bummer that the answers aren't even remotely... answery.

Although, did they actually give a straight up "no" to some questions?  Because that could indicate that the ones about future releases that they're dancing around are actually "yes"es.  And the answer to the cutie mark question was probably so stupid because "'cause it's cheaper" wouldn't have looked good xD

I think almost anything would've been better than "We package it so the cutie mark faces the customer".

Unfortunately Hasbro Q&As for the most part at Fairs have pretty much always had a lack of substance in answer...understandable in many ways but also incredibly frustrating!

[Flitter]

It's frustrating that they don't really answer anything clearly and don't tell us about any of the new stuff, just about stuff that's already out. It's July now, we all already have a pretty good idea what will be in stores by the end of the year from what was at NY Toy Fair and all the stuff that's on pre-order from online shops. We wanna know about all that stuff that keeps popping up on taobao and ebay!
I guess I can understand if they can't say yet but what makes me want to headdesk is:

'No I looked this up and we're not skipping wave 2 blind bags. This is wave 2 in front of me and it's in our warehouses right now *points to wave 3 box*'
They really don't understand do they 
(obviously they don't understand or they would have brought way more Fair ponies to sell...)

I KNOW!!! I can finally feel my husband's frustration when he calls tech support and knows more about the problem and product than they do.  I am so glad I broke down and ordered TeaLove from China when I found a good deal.  Wave 3 doesn't interest me nearly as much as ANY of the other waves so I'm not looking forward to another 5-6 months of those on the shelves

Next year someone should ask if they are planning on removing the non-display-side eye as well.

I shouldnt be surprised, but I got myself all excited about what wonderful insights they would give us... but , like last years, it's a big let down...

I'm boycotting the mock Q & A stuf next year, to save myself the stress.

Lol, I love it! Though I doubt even that would get the point across...

The question I'm dying to ask Hasbro (although I would never get a straight answer) is:

WHY BOTHER?  Just tell us, "It's all industry secrets!"  and don't have a Q&A session! Don't get us all excited that we might get to ponder about the possibilities and then cut us off with, "But it's all industry secrets, didn't you know?"

Mind you, there's always the danger they'd go, "OMG, great idea!!"

Right.  Instead they should drop the "Q & A" just get their marketing team to make up several little tidbits of what they "can" tell us, if anything and just present that.

ETA:  Otherwise Taobao is going to continue to be our source of "inside" information!  Hasbro?  Do you want that?

Interesting they seem more open about bringing in more ponies from older generations.  Perhaps with the brand firmly on its hooves, they believe they can put money into trademarking.

All I have to say is we need a campaign to get Hasbro to make G4 versions of our favorite ponies.  Come on, Hasbro, please make Wind Whistler.  I'd buy her in a heartbeat.
