Looks like LucasFilms wasn't Disney's last attempt. They are in talks with Hasbro to buy them out as well and gain access to Transformers, G.I. Joe, Magic The Gathering, the My Little Pony Franchise, and other aspects of Hasbro.
There is currently a talk going over on the main site that fans of the MLPFIM culminate around, however, to spare those who don't like the show http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JakeLester/news/?a=69682. (The link is obtained from the Equestria Daily Site)
At the moment, the most concerning this is the fan base created material since Hasbro has been quite lenient with the "Brony" community. Disney, as many of us know, rules with quite the 3 fingered iron fist, pushing C&Ds rapidly where they see fit. Starting to wonder what else they are in talks about of buying up to assume control of the world alongside google, Microsoft (yes I know good joke there), Apple, and other mega corporations.
I took a quick look and Disney's current possible market value is $55 billion.
So, what else should Disney try to acquire? Wonder if they'll go after Zenimax to start making Mickey Mouse Fallout games?
