Posted April 28, 2009 The only constant is change. Change makes the world ever new, constantly fascinating, ever challenging. All of the great toy companies of my childhood are history, and many are long gone: Remco, Matchbox, Topper Toys, Marx, Ideal, and others. I played with their toys for endless hours. Most of the great toy companies that I worked with when I first started in this business are gone, as well - bought up by larger fish in the sea, or just out of business: Lakeside, Schaper, Gabriel, Tonka, Kenner, Parker Brothers, Fisher Price, Milton Bradley, Tyco. Many exist now only as brand names inside of Hasbro or Mattel. The world is changing, the market is changing, the laws and regulations are changing, the companies we work with are changing in how they manage their businesses, and we must change along with. Constant change, constant improvement. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
