Variety may be an insider for Hollywood, but I wouldn't give that article very much credence.
It reads like speculation more than anything. They "contacted" store managers? Really? A store manager is responsible for one store, a decision like that would be corporate. Try talking to Hasbro, or TRU corporate.
As stated in the article, Hasbro put out a statement, and I'll take that as fact for now unless proven otherwise.
I think the original, "what's there is all for now" is the truth of the situation.
