There you go Flat, thinking like a capitalist. Bravo ! (insert sound of golf clap here)

But seriously, you're spot on. You don't just discontinue your money maker. Maybe you phase it out over time, but you don't just drop a whole product line like a hot potato in the midst of profitability.

Lookit, there are a lot of folks like me that prefer the classic N-Strike Elite "pseudo-real-looking-weapon" blue and white color scheme blasters. Gimme an Elite motif blaster with a stock attachment, a barrel attachment, and I'm happy as a pig in poop.

Secondly, the DoomLands and Zombie Strike blasters are taking advantage of certain cultural fads. The day after the Walking Dead goes off the air, the Zombie Strike line will die. And I don't see a future for Doomlands. The post-apocalypse meme is almost played out. IMHO. The blasters are OK, but the premise is becoming increasingly dated.

So is N-Strike Elite dead ? No. It's going to be just fine as long as Hasbros's NYSE is positive. Unfortunately that's the way it works, gents.
