The ironic thing is that it's probably Hasbro's own employees doing the leaking, in some Chinese production facility. I mean, if the stuff is all being listed on the Chinese equivalent of Ebay, surely they can put 2 and 2 together? It's being made there and it's being sold there. How far from the tree can the apple really fall?
Using that metaphor, I think Hasbro was trying to figure which branch of the Nerf Tree is dropping fruit early. The only thing is, they majorly fucked up their "investigation". Rather than enticing Pocket with free merch then throwing the book at him, if they had been more cooperative either 1) They'd have the info they wanted, or (more likely) 2) They wouldn't have a slowly unraveling PR nightmare on their hands.
A bit off topic, but is chomping at the bit for pre-release info the way we do good? It takes all of the suspense out of the release. I mean, we had the Rayven figured out completely months before it was released, same for the whole Vortex line and just about every release Hasbro's had for the last two years. Just my $0.02.
