>>8464010Has there been any details as to how the Hasbro buyout even happened? I remember reading something about Goldner and Saban being buddy-buddy with each other, which made me think that Bandai got fucked over somehow. My speculation is maybe behind the scenes Hasbro and Saban planned the buyout ahead of time, so Saban either priced Bandai out of renewing the license or straight up refused to renew it, then let Hasbro buy the license with a contract written beforehand that included the option to buy the property outright. No idea if any of that is true.
