Oh so it was on Facebook. I'd seen the references too but didn't know it was an ongoing thing, thought it tied back to the old days where Forums could send through a few questions to Hasbro every month.

Sep 2013 was our launch date, and while we were the 5th, we are the largest

But as noted above, I honestly don't keep track of our numbers or anyone else's, as I concern myself more with the number of "active members", who keep coming back (at least once a week) by generating more topics and posts here to make it more interesting for other people to register and want join in to voice their opinion... as all fansites and facebook pages get people joining up and then never coming back (after a post or two, or not at all). Our site has about 10% active members (300-400 people logging more than once a week), so that would be a percentage you could apply to any other fansite as well, if their site doesn't show the exact statistic.
Realistically, I would expect to see similar active numbers on various local sites, if they are kept interesting, active, inviting and non-combative against other fansites that even competing against them.
(moved last few posts here as they were off topic in the dealer feedback section)
According to Wiki, the acronym GDO (Global Development Organisation) refers to Hasbro's Asian market 'exclusives'. Any idea how this acronym came to being?
Perhaps global meaning outside of the "western" hemisphere and into the "eastern":confused:Quote:

I think it's about as accurate in describing a department as renaming every single corporate position as "Business Development Manager". Perhaps they're a sub-division that got canned shortly?Quote:

Only reason i ask, as i know they are selling TT Superion
Thanks
TRU are selling the hasbro version. While the takaratomy one was leaked, no further comments have been made about it and it's likely cancelled (similar to Arcee) or was inaccurate informationQuote:
