_Amidst News of Hasbro's Collapse, Florida Man Swoops In on Corporate Headquarters With Insulting Acquisition Proposal Paying Only Cents on the Dollar-"I Can Add a Reach Around"_
A lava reach around? (If you were there, you know, lol)
Someone get this man a job at a major newspaper!👌
in other news rudy went up the ivory tower and kicked in the door
Let all of us handle the reach around. Finally we can give back to Rudy for all he's given us!!
@ElusiveNight99 a lavaclaw reach around off the top!
Cutting the printrun is good, but the pricepoint needs to change also. A normal booster box should be around 100-110 USD, and not 125-135 USD. The value isn't there, and the way they reprint every valuable card into the ground is just unsustainable.
The value may not be there, but people are buying at the current price point. Why would a company lower prices if the consumer base are still buying?
I’m not saying that to be overly cynical of a business. I’m saying that from a management position. The price may be high but the demand is still there.
We know what's going to happen. Prices won't drop or won't drop much. Instead, 3x foil treatments, full art lands, serialized, alt art, border treatments, unfoiled, upfoiled, downfoiled... oh and there's been rumors about some power creep. Those are no longer rumors, that's the mission statement. Next year 'Ragavan' but on meth will make you miss current mono red.
@@user-op7pm6tx1j You forgot the anime art.
considering the sheer amount of product they are pumping out and expecting you to buy...yeah it should be a bit cheaper
@@ninjaman0003Actually if you look at the play boosters downward trajectory on tcgplayer right now you can say that the demand isn't there for $115+ boxes...
Holy copium, LOLZ.
STill not buying MGT30 black aragoyns
People aren’t spending money because who gives a shit about Fallout and Clue? Never mind the shitty ass quality of the cards too. Foils that curl in the fucking pack.
Things must be really bad for him to do this much pumping in one video.
Rudy has made so much money and has such a huge net worth that if Hasbro stock dropped to zero and he would still be a multimillionaire. He’s even said on record that he wants the stock to drop so he can buy it all and run the company Haha
@@ryanhebertson7457 get his diq out of your mouth
People who believe these 200-700$ big paintings behind him are a sign of wealth will listen to anything he says, just look at all the muppets saying hes swagging by having literally 50$ small redo of a painting behind him 😂
He took immense hit with metapoo announcing collapse after he pumped it for years even tho every single of their products collapsed and even more so when he was forced to take down the fab rant video and changing his stance towards grading modern cards after he got into pcg since before that anyone grading modern cards was uneducated timmy.
I don't really like or dislike rudy but recent events must hit him REALLY hard since he became insanely aggressive towards people he disagrees with straight up calling everyone hard-r, he seems really vulnerable right now by the way he speaks about others, he must've took everything that happened really personal or the loses behind the scenes are finally catching up with him.
@@ryanhebertson7457he’s so rich he needs youtube😂😂😂😂.
All these end of hasbro comments show the number of people who didn't watch and just read the title.
Or they think Rudy is a windbag and make up their own mind.
But Metazoo? Got it
Yes Hasbro goes down all to 0😅😅😅
Clickbait fucking cringe
Don’t need to watch his video. See, they have this thing called a ‘earnings report’ and ‘guidance.’ Noobs like you think this RUclipsr is a stronger data point for some reason.
Can you imagine, a 1/1 GOLDEN CHOCOBO full alt art.
Shut up and take my money
Inflation is going to kill toy and TCG companies. People can barely afford to eat and to live on a weekly basis
People arent gonna have that extra $50 anymore to spend on cards or a figure.
What inflation? The inflation in 2022 you mean.. current inflation is nothing. Not everyone is broke.
Americans love to get into CC debt, the spending doesn't stop.
They would rather go deeper in debt and pay the bare minimum interest then give up takeaway meals and other bs spending
@@PokemonHolowe are not due to have a "soft landing" with inflation like the feds say thats why they keep raising interest rates. JAN inflation has shot up back to what we were dealing with in 23. Small recession is expected in 24
Where are all these people that can’t afford to eat?
@@ChrisBcards FED hasn't raised in 8 months, but never lets actual facts get in the way of your theories.
@@ChrisBcards JAN inflation is 3.1. Ideal is 2-3, depending on which economist you ask. Powell is the GOAT, best to ever do it, we're all gonna make it.
This is what an unseasoned investor sounds like. Or someone that is justifying their 50% decline over 5 years
its what a conman tells his investors to believe in,
to keep them buying more and paying their monthly dues.
Rudy is still drinking the Cox kool-aid.
Wouldn't this "increase " be related to Hasbro firing 12% of their work force so they could take a positive in the first quarter
When Rudy is THIS calm... you know Magics FUCT!
You never watch the whole video did you😅
@@Steve-si8hx I always watch the whole video.
@@lanmarknetworking3034 why you say magic is fict then when it's clearly not what he said 😅
@@Steve-si8hxBecause Rudy is too calm when he is talking in this video
My favourite thing about you is your aesthetics. A 17th century French castle/manor filled with booster boxes.
The 50% reduction in inventory is less impressive when you realize a lot of this shit ended up in discount stores like Ollie's and Dollarama for shockingly low prices. They just took the lost and sales stock super cheap.
Now going forward they will have to cut their ambitions in physical products, but liciencing and digital will likely become more of a focus.
Agreed. I was picking up Star Wars, GI Joe, and many other figures that are normally $22-$40 for $5-$6 at discount stores regularly during November and December. I think I spent more on totes to store them then the actual figures themselves.
Calls on Ollie's then
I see you've moved up to the second-floor basement of Timmy's Emporium. Very nice.
the actual state of this timeline. old man rudy is going to be living it up as a head in a jar as president of the hasbro corporation in the year 3000 (he still has over 200 cases of silver tempest in his heavy bag closet)
Everything he says in this video goes against what the CEO’s guidance for 24-into 25. This video is insane copium. He is the only mtg RUclipsr that is happy about the call, everyone else seems to see the call guidance as very anti-player. The only thing this guy is banking on is ‘lower print runs and anticipation of low sales, in a market where the lower and middle class have the highest debts of all time and lowest amount of available credit. When Wotc decides to promote PLAYERS And STORES, in IRL I’ll be more open to positivity in what they’re doing.
Rudy is a story teller for the Timmies,
he tells them what they want to hear,
knowing they would never fact check him.
There is another guy, who does the same
with his followers,
he made red hats popular.
Sorry Rudy, I would love to see Hasbro/Wizards burn to the ground, now I’d love to see Flesh and Blood continue to grow their community because LSS actually cares about player engagement.
It's fun in all, but it's not the same.
100% need to bring back the pro tour. They need twitch coverage and tournaments to hype the cards
They didn't cut print run on fallout. They cut what they allow stores to have because the ip and hasbro had an agreement to sell most of it on Amazon for max profits.
that thumbnail is wild, aphex twin tier facial expression
Love Aphex Twin, he did that facial expression for the album cover by using his fingers to make the grin more unnatural and editing them out. He did a similar thing with rubberbands.

@ChickenCrewNews Muchacha Garcias. That's "Thank you." In Spanish. You're welcome, Dick.
Best “FOLKS” intro in a long time. Love the echo-reverb effect when it is un-dampened by cardboard boxes.
Watch the 50% flushed inventory be mostly board game and plastic toys and hasbro still holding most of their golden goose, mtg.
the golden goose is on the loose and never out of season
If it weren't for LotR in 2023, their golden goose wouldn't be so golden. 😂
nah they stated in their report that the most profitable sets are without a license. they have to pay massive fees on the UB products. these UB sets are to attract new players not to make money short term.@@cardboard_battlefield
LotR was the white knight, such a loyal fan base i don't think Fallout will be as successful. Fallout is pretty sweet so this just might prolong the inevitable of downfall cause by mismanagement.
@@MMK86 Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
While I agree with Rudy on inventory reduction, the change that’s really needed is to reduce the number of new sets.
It’s the 11 minute marker when you realize Rudy lied in the thumbnail

Those are the nicest lamps I've ever seen

A most compelling question, yes, go on....

I do so love perfect timing
You get ads..? lol wtf
Must be a brokie
@@coldtruth9431 lol
@@Cogz Use the brave browser.
Cutting print runs is one thing, given not as many boxes sold and they got stuck with them. The hole reprint-everything-to-the-ground policy is what harms more. Why did so many people shy away from Ravnica Remastered? Because many value cards have been overprinted regardless so prices don't add up with box prices these days. That, and the loss of faith after DMR.
If you'd swallow your pride and make an all hairy Rudy feet OF account you could afford to buy out Hasbro. But NOOooooo, Rudy is too good to shuffle MTG decks bare foot in 4K for money. 🙄
Considering hasbro stock dipped into the $47 range, just what kind of limit did you have rudy?
lol. Rudy talks a lot.
The game piece army is literally just Rudy. He's the only one talking about it...
I finally got a alpha investments shirt and my life is complete although I wear large or x large depending on shrinkage and it’s 100% cotton but thankfully I bought both sizes.
To my Russian ear, shrinkage is a funny word
Is WoTC going to race swap Barrett in the Final Fantasy set?
I swear on everything, I wanted to SPEND on that set.
IF SO MUCH AS A HAIR on anyone's head doesn't look right, I won't spend a DIME.
This is an established franchise and that's why people like it. I don't want to see race swapping or a "liberal" artist view on these characters. I don't mind characters looking somewhat different, but if something is drastic, I'm pulling that cash and buying high end reserved list.
100% there’s gonna be blackaroth
@@EdwinRosario432I call BS. You're spending all your lunch money no matter what Timmy.
I mean, I like final fantasy and magic, I'll buy it unless it's just drastically retarded
@@dough4prez
Nah, if I see a white Barrett, a trans yuffie, or an anime Vincent, I'm out.
In a world going digital is Hasbro a dying company?
I will say one more thing, we stock a lot of imported materials and I get calls from other manufactures (and even competitors) all the time begging for materials because in MFG if you are short one component you can't finish your product, earlier this Friday I had two manufactures calling me asking for pallets of wire, and another pallets of abrasive rolls. Since I keep a large inventory I made two large sales without any impact on production, I profited from other companies pretending keeping a low inventory is smart.
Putting exclusive artwork on the serialized cards should've been done from the beginning. It should've been the only way to get the schematic versions of the Brothers' War artifacts. Slapping a number on a card that otherwise looks like the other millions of copies that were printed in the same set is dumb Timmy shit.
If they really wanted to make it special, commission some artists to hand draw 500 copies of a card and serialize those versions. Basically give collectors something with real value beyond "these 500 copies are special because we said so."
Shit. Include a certificate, verifying that Maro personally dragged his dick across every serialized card if they have to. the super valuable ones will be the ones where he leaves a snail trail.
Rudy recording from his newly acquired fine art collection vault.
simpin ain't easy!
“Maybe I’m wrong and I’m full of crap.”
Well, yeah, man. That’s why we are here!
Funko was smart enough to trash their excess inventory.
MTG sent it to Amazon, then the discount stores to dump it.
Rudy looks like the grinch on that thumbnail
You talk about reducing inventory (possibly print runs) by 50% and they are not "over producing". However, since they come out with a new product every 6-8 weeks, they are MASSIVELY over producing and destroying reprint equity.
6 to 8 weeks? Wizards doesn’t go a month without hitting the market.
And the "reduced inventory" could be more about board games and plastic toys and less about paper magic. Shillboy Rudy takes it only one way though.
I have a feeling this will change. I feel WotC has started to pivot and realized that the game piece Timmy's don't put out $.
I feel like we may be shifting to a more controlled, focused, and strategic viewpoint from WotC. If they start cutting print runs and variants and prices hold up, like they should, it'll be a wrap. Commander decks will go up to $70 and boxes will likely level out at 110 to 120.
@@MAN-ON-THE-HORSE-MUSIC A s*** company will be a s*** company no matter how it's sliced up.

Today we have a special treat to see the high art table room 69
Hasbro stock is like auto zone stock. Manipulated 😂😂😂
Collapsed 0.45% -down 43 in the last year , and up Alot since day one
It was me. I was the Timmy. I wanted it to tank so I could pick some shares up on the cheap!
I was hoping for a new low after earnings. Im prepared to yolo one half of a percent of my net worth into Hasbro stock.
I have worked in mfg and distribution for a few decades now, the ownership is always pushing for smaller inventory but 100% of the time it lowers sales and causes shortages, even though they promise they have some new wizards in purchasing that can keep the inventory low... Its not possible. I just disagree based on my years of seeing lower inventory causing massive issues, especially with supply chain issues, and especially with sources overseas. You can keep lower inventory with domestic sources of raw materials, but trying to do that with imports is hilarious, boats get delayed all the time, either from a bottleneck at the docks, or a bottleneck at one of the canals can delay inventory for 1-2 months..
All serialized should have unique artwork moving forward. Furthermore, that artwork should never be used again.
Rudy, do a house tour please
Pretty sure dr. Who did not do as well as most think....aside from the initial release. I feel stores are stuck with this product now. I suspect hard price drops on them at some point.
I think you've got you finger on the pulse for Hasbro considering WOTC, but their toy lines are collapsing and they are pissed at Disney for the poor reception of STAR WARS, MARVEL, and other IPs.... maybe that means some positive contract negotiations but its tough to read and speculate what the outcome will be.
I think the success of Warhammer is a bit of a red herring in that most people don't realize just how rabid and devoted warhammer fans really are, its almost unique in gaming nerdom how a warhammer fan will pay almost any price for a plastic miniature. Other fandoms don't have this type of rabid fanbase. I'm not saying other IPs wont succeed but people should temper their expectations.
50% sounds pretty bad actually considering the Amazon dumps and literal dumping into landfills.
Flushing inventory at a loss doesn't sound healthy at all.
I hope Wizards (and Hazbro) tanks after the news that they scrapped the plans for the Dragonlance TV series.
Lmao, comment section is roasting Rudy.
What's the better future for MtG?
- IP-whoring in Universes Beyond, standard sets reduced to 1 per year to make room for more UB
- paper MtG declines faster, forcing WotC to do even more greasy shit to make a buck
Way I see it, UB is the FAR better choice. Yes, immersion is toast. I never played MtG for much immersion. Game's mechanics will do good shit with Marvel. They should do a Marvel set per year for a decade. Print 3 Spiderman cards per set, 3 Wolverines, make the product appeal to all the customers. Turn MtG into a place Marvel vs DC happens. Get fucking Dragonball up in here. Do all the anime you can. Also, do a set at least once a year that's very 'classic MtG'. Nostalgia gouge, farm it the fuck up. They are a business, they exist to make money selling cardboard rectangles. The market will buy more rectangles with better licensing deals. And 'real' MtG can piggyback forever on that shit being profitable. Forever. Just like paper CAN piggyback off digital forever. Won't, but it could. Still, ride her out until she's done.
You can ban Disney UB at your table. I'm more of a 'just don't play that all night' kinda bitch but you do you.
End of Hasbro, Rise of Rudy
Cutting print runs and jacking prices is going to further alienate their consumer base and cause more people to spend money elsewhere
So did all the extra inventory get fire sold or tossed in the landfill?
Guys it's just Rudy's Fraternity Brother, Has. Has Bro Collapses. He has a fainting issue.
I want to devote my comment to my appreciation of Rudy's home interior. Looks stylish.
Inventory is in Ollie's
The Marvel release is going to be nuts. I miss the original VS System it was so close to perfection.
Hasbro is just a front it is all smoke and mirrors none of the toys are actually valuable none of the IPS are actually valuable it's all about magic cards everything else has simply brought it down they need to separate it would be for the good of both companies / entities
when their earnings tie together as they do it gives unfair adjustments and averages to the entire system and that takes away from WOTC True Potential of really taking the greatest card game to game pieces...or something
......I digress
I saw the video with you and Dan on the drivethru,that's so awesome and i know about Fallout because of it,that's pretty scarybut awesome at the same time,we need more and more value for the people who buy Mtg stuff
I love this stuff thanks Rudy!🎉 stay the course people!!!!!
Whenever an industry person tells the consumer "Don't think about where all that inventory went. It's not important", you can guarantee you're about to get hosed. Maybe we need to stop being fanboys and realize it's in our best interest to ask "Where did all the inventory go?"
thank you for giving us another quarterly earnings report from your ivory tower, Rudy
Never seen Rudy so excited that his heavy bags are gonna be okay. I’m still coming to terms with how Magic is becoming just a soulless game engine for hasbro to reskin with whatever corporate crossover IP of the day. It’s basically becoming the Weiss for western IP crossovers.
Great, I'm glad you love it. Your big daddy Cocks' best little boy
Wizards already had serialized cards with unique art with March of the Machines. The praetors had it and they looked great, though overall I agree. Not a fan of universes beyond
LOTR Magic with the serialized and 1 Ring card made sense at least somewhat to be pricey. Fallout is popular as well too sure, but there is no iconic chase to even make sense. The prices are crazy, Pre-orders for $323 which are 12 packs What in the taco is hasbro doing.
Not excited for any universes beyond. Star Wars would be the only one that I would spend money on. Could that be a thing in the future?
It can be frustrating working for a profitable subsidiary of a large corporation, and still struggling.
Rudy works for hasbro he look like wolverine do is employed so they can model he’s face on there figures
The problem with the reliance on the Universes Beyond stuff is that eventually you run out of tentpole IPs that WoTC can leverage...and then what? MtG's own brand has suffered and will continue to suffer because of it. That is when the golden goose dies.
I watched the start for this video for a good 2 minutes before noticing i didnt hit Play. It just seemed like something Rudy would do.
Hasbroke
Has-been
Holy moly, preordered 1 fallout collector booster box for 250€ from my LGS. European market almost ran out of stock already lol. There is just a few left on cardmarket, will see, if they restock, but anyway 250 sounds pretty good to me.
Remember if WotC gets closed down, then every card will be on the reserve list. Think about the profits!
when metazoo goes bankrupt doing a hello kitty collab its a scam, but when magic loses a billion doing doctor who and lord of the rings its a huge success
… because Magic didn’t lose money?
Everything else Hasbro did outside of Wizards of the Coast (aka MTG & D&D) did.
Magic loses a billion!?
All financial aspects aside (or not), those Universes Beyond sets get me a bit worried.
Sure, LotR and Warhammer 40k make sense within MtG fantasy/sci-fi setting (LotR even being the Grandpappy of all that is fantasy), even Doctor Who, although you have to stretch it a bit, has a Planeswalker vibe and somewhat of a public convergence, but Fallout, FF and Marvel?
I'm a huge fan of most of those franchises, but WotC should keep a form of coherence when they choose their licences.
Because I understand the excitement, but once the FOMO has settled and we've had a couple of years with franchises straying further and further from Magic's core visual atmosphere by having He-Man, or Garfield of Fifa Universes Beyond, and what would the average kitchen table deck look like?
An army of Wolverine, Caith Sith, Donna Noble, Massacre Girl and Fluttershy, with lands from the Wasteland, Middle Earth, Dominaria and Hunger Games?
This will more and more look like a way too modded Skyrim, not like Magic. Although it might be a fun concept for some, Magic also needs a form of atmospheric coherence, it's one of the reasons this game still has an aura most other TCG don't have, before they crash and burn.
To sum up, although Universes Beyond sets aren't a bad idea in themselves, too much dispersion might ultimately kill what makes Magic special and unique, ultimately turning it into the Funko Pop of TCG.
Not to mention that, although for the moment WotC chose licenses with a long history, there's also the risk of some licenses aging poorly, like the TV series of GoT or the Witcher, while Magic's own lore is relatively ageless.
Even the notion of "Crusade", despite the current madness of a handful of cooky blue and green haired hysterics online, still remains part of our culture, positively and/or negatively, and will do so for the foreseeable future.
Will the same be true for the very blessed Tifa, the Survivor, or even superheroes, once Disney has burned all the licenses to the ground?
In my area, a lot of LOTR fans that purchased product have started to sell off the cards they have. They are asking way too much for what they have, trying to get back the money they spent. If they have a one ring or bowmaster then they double it. Universe Beyond will not keep any cross over fans to stick with MTG.
Rudy’s done getting new subs because his the biggest Debbie since little Debbie.
Why don't they just keep the inventory in a warehouse for a decade then start dripping them into the market for like 5-10x the price
Mouth is telling us one story, but eyes completely different.
That is the best thumbnail I've ever seen
Gonna buy a lot of HAS, cuz I like money
Now everyone gonna complain, because it is too collectible… and they didn’t print enough 😂.
This thumbnail will haunt me for at least 7 years
Man please increase your sound I have to listen your vids on my phone because the sound is too low for laptops
i bet hasbro made a new company that bought the inventory just too kick the can down the road
People saying Marvel is diminishing IP. I don't really feel that way.
Magic has another big problem though, the power creep has been crazy these last years. They can't keep that up forever. Also the prices! Not buying anything at the current pricepoint.
I was reading the annual numbers for 2023 and they looked very poor. I only have digital magic collection and no skin in hasbro, but I was contemplating about taking a stake in the company, due to all the negativity I see online surrounding Hasbro and mtg. I knew the bar for earnings was pretty low, but I was still expecting a big sell off in Hasbro stock after earnings. It never happened, so Im not buying.
I really like those lamps in the back
Final Fantasy TCG is going to sky rocket if it gets associated with Magic.
You know what‘s the difference between normal and finance guys?
Normal guys would ban Hasbro products and never would buy a stock from a company they are not believing in. They would have moral issues - because they are humans with real emotions.
An Investor just look at the data and will buy whatever will benefit his portfolio. It doesn’t matter if the company is corrupt, sell weapons or is named Hasbro with that ongoing policy towards customers. They sleep well.
So what this tell us about those different characters and humanity in general?
Nothing.
@@theboringchannel2027the difference is called attitude
@@Frkr. Actually the proper word is ETHICS not attitude.
What did Hasbro do that is unethical in your mind? Laying off employees? Hint, most companies do that.
If you want to educate yourself, look up ESG investing, you might learn something,
or not.
Hey, if hasbro is bad, then buying their products is supporting them, no different than being an investor. Uh Oh, that reality probably doesn't work for you.
@@theboringchannel2027uhm. Thx for the education.
I stopped buying Hasbro products last year since they laid off employees some days before Christmas. Yes companies do that. Companies with bad leadership.
And if the leadership is bad, companies decisions will be worse.
And what exactly do you want to tell me? I invest in different companies but that has nothing to do with ESG and/or ethics. It‘s just that I won‘t invest in companies I doesn‘t like or they doesn‘t fit my criteria of a good company.
You don‘t need an report for that - just look carefully what a company says and actually do.
