Uhm, actually Hasbro is one of the few companies that actually checks and
monitors their facilities overseas, so it would be unfair to make the
statement;

This was written up in the Projo a few years ago. Its the reason why
Mattel
had major issues in China and Hasbro did not.
Now to respond to the offerings...if this is what they offer then I can
only
hope that they offer more. But then this is in line with what I was told
by
the toy manager at the Sparkman Walmart SupCen here in Huntsville....they
were told that GIJOE 12" will return and they will need 10ft of Peg board
and 2 shelf levels...one for large box offerings.
