  1. I have a feeling Hasbro is trying to trick us by only having 13 episodes in Season 3. By the "Tara Strong, (And other voice actors) have confirmed the third season is in production and will have at least 13 episodes" I think they meant 13 episodes were in production then, and there was more to come. Hasbro opened up new jobs for MLP FiM and stuff, I heard, in the past 8 months, so why would they make it only 13 episodes and finale if they were going to have to fire so many people? It just doesn't make since. Someone call up Hasbro and ask them.

    2. @zephyrdash having 13 episodes in S3 would put them at just the right amount for television syndication and it would allow them to retain their reputation and replay episodes and stuff. It seems like it's gotten enough for more episodes, but they probably know best.

    3. @zephyrdash Your getting panic-y. Hasbro has wagered a lot on MLP (they've dropped a lot of money on the show and toy molds), and they're getting returns. They have no reason to cancel. Heck, haven't the Hub's ratings been steadily climbing recently?

      1. @eaglehooves viewership has been increasing. Toy sales have apparently been decreasing.

          1. @eaglehooves Apparently. They've mentioned it a few times. Marginal returns ain't cuttin it or whatever.

            1. @alargesmallhorse I'll look it up when I get my laptop back up, but I'd heard Hasbro wasn't suffering. I find it hard to believe that they can move as much merch through the stores in my area

              1. @eaglehooves as they do and not make money.

        2. @alargesmallhorse I'd seen that MLP sales were growing, as of either fall or winter.

          1. @eaglehooves last I checked was last october or something where they said it was down double digits. maybe they recovered.

            1. @alargesmallhorse I'd heard that Hasbro as a whole had a rough patch for awhile, but that certain lines were up and others down during that quarter.

              1. @eaglehooves I think last I checked, Transformers were up, MLP was down. Again, I haven't checked in quite a while, though.
