Joining hands with Hasbro, Kilburn Live is set to unveil a magic show featuring Hasbro properties such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, and Monopoly.
Featuring a cast of young magicians, the show will feature over 30 different illusions within its 90-minute run time.
The show is primarily targeted towards little kids and the magicians will also teach them how to perform simple magic tricks. The package will also include a bunch of tricks to take home.
Official description:
“Featuring a unique combination of cutting-edge magic, kid-friendly humor, audience interactivity, and the most iconic Hasbro toys and games, “playtime” takes on a whole new meaning when you dare to join The Magic Squad!
In a hilarious and fast-paced story, The Magic Squad will teach tricks to the whole audience all while executing illusions designed to astound spectators of any age.
The action-packed show reveals the reality-bending power inside every child’s favorite toys, and by the end, every audience member will become an official part of The Magic Squad.”

For your next trick, Hasbro, how about pulling a decent, not cheaply-budgeted Transformers show out of thin air?

I don't think they want to just unload everything on a single day, not when they do multiple Fan First events throughout the month.

Doesn’t mean they still can’t reveal it unless Hasbro knew they couldn’t fulfill the pre-orders.

Was probably already moving by the time the big delays started. It's upcoming product that's going to be affected. It's not that things aren't shipping at all, but that the reduced workforce is slowing everything down. The current stuff is going to get priority, but there's no ETA.
Without having any idea exactly when things are going to hit stores and at what saturation, Hasbro's probably holding back on announcements just to play it safe. Better to release product without warning than announce things that could be half a year or more out and have all interest die down.

Kingdom Deluxe wave 4 though…

No Jem? Truly, truly outrageous.

Do it lengthwise.

I hope they saw Flywheels in half.
Reveals are likely being held back because product is being held back because of the numerous closed ports and shipping delays. They likely want to avoid revealing product that won't be on shelves for six/nine months or however long this miserable situation lasts.
Unfortunately (or is it fortunate for us?) the toys are still being produced, just held up at port, so we still have factory leaks of figures that likely won't hit store shelves until next year.

I mean they do have a Snake-Eyes cartoon and live-action Lady Jade shows in the works.

We already know the magic trick of Transformers…

If you include the steady stream of leaks, you’ve got your wish (Puffer and Ranger were leaked this week).
Why are some people not happy unless a new figure is announced and put on sale every week? That’s not how this franchise has ever worked.

I fairness GIJoe should never been a movie franchise. It needs to be a television series there's just too much emotion too much character development. You just can't squeeze something as large as GI Joe into a movie

"For our next trick we'll make the G.I.Joe franchise disappear from public consciousness!"

Interesting. Cruise Ship's could benefit from this and an onboard Hasbro Toy shop… Hint hint.

Can Optimus pull a pizza bagel out of a hat?

Is this the best thing you had up your sleeve, Hasbro? No new figure reveals, but instead a magic show?

This seems kinda bizarre but I can't blame Hasbro for trying this. I'd hazard a guess that KilBurn are the ones actually doing all the work and Hasbro just approved the license and get a cut of revenue. I'm sure the target group of kids will get a kick out of some magic tricks. I think it's random as hell tho.

Today on the Magic Squad, Hasbro tries to see how long they go with only Earthrise Arcee’s on shelves before facing bankruptcy.
