PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information about us and this offering. It may not contain
all of the information that is important to you in deciding whether to purchase the notes. We
encourage you to read the entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference prior to deciding
whether to purchase the notes.

Hasbro, Inc.

We are a worldwide leader in children's and family leisure time products and services with
a broad portfolio of brands and entertainment properties. As a brand-driven, consumer-focused
global company, Hasbro brings to market a wide range of toys, games and licensed products,
from traditional to high-tech and digital, under well-known brand names such as
TRANSFORMERS, PLAYSKOOL, NERF, LITTLEST PET SHOP, MY LITTLE PONY, G.I.
JOE, TONKA, MILTON BRADLEY, PARKER BROTHERS, CRANIUM and WIZARDS OF
THE COAST. Our offerings encompass a broad variety of games, including traditional board,
card, hand-held electronic, trading card, role-playing and DVD games, as well as electronic
learning aids and puzzles. Toy offerings include boys' action figures, vehicles and playsets,
girls' toys, electronic toys, plush products, preschool toys and infant products, electronic
interactive products, creative play and toy related specialty products. In addition, we license
certain of our trademarks, characters and other property rights to third parties for use in
connection with digital gaming, consumer promotions, and for the sale of non-competing toys
and games and non-toy products. We also seek to expand awareness of our brands through
immersive entertainment experiences, including television and movies. In 2009, we purchased a
50% interest in a joint venture with Discovery Communications, Inc, or Discovery. This joint
venture operates a television network in the United States dedicated to high-quality children's
and family entertainment and educational programming.

Product Categories

We market our brands under the following primary product categories: (1) boys' toys;
(2) games and puzzles; (3) girls' toys; and (4) preschool toys. Descriptions of these product
categories are as follows:

Our boys' toys category includes a wide range of core brand offerings such as
TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE action figures and accessories, NERF sports and action
products, as well as entertainment-based licensed products based on popular movie, television
and comic book characters, such as STAR WARS and MARVEL toys and accessories. In the
action figure area, a key part of our strategy focuses on the importance of reinforcing the
storyline associated with these products through the use of media-based entertainment. In 2009,
sales in our boys' toys category also benefited from major motion picture releases of
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN and G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA. In
addition, STAR WARS, SPIDER-MAN and TRANSFORMERS products were each supported
by animated television series. In 2010, the major motion picture IRON MAN 2 is expected to be
released based on the MARVEL character. In addition to marketing and developing action
figures and accessories for traditional play, we also develop and market products designed for
collectors, which has been a key component of the success of the STAR WARS brand. Other
key boys' brands include TONKA and SUPERSOAKER.

Our games and puzzles category includes several well known brands, including MILTON
BRADLEY, PARKER BROTHERS, TRIVIAL PURSUIT, CRANIUM, AVALON HILL and
WIZARDS OF THE COAST. These brand portfolios consist of a broad assortment of games for
children, tweens, families and adults. Core game brands include MONOPOLY, BATTLESHIP,
GAME OF LIFE, SCRABBLE, CHUTES AND LADDERS, CANDY LAND, TROUBLE,
MOUSETRAP, OPERATION, HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, CONNECT FOUR, TWISTER,
YAHTZEE, CRANIUM, JENGA, SIMON, CLUE, SORRY!, RISK, BOGGLE, TRIVIAL

PURSUIT, GUESS WHO? and BOP IT!, as well as a line of puzzles for children and adults,
including the BIG BEN and CROXLEY lines of puzzles. WIZARDS OF THE COAST offers
trading card and role-playing games, including MAGIC: THE GATHERING, DUEL
MASTERS and DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. We seek to keep our game brands relevant
through sustained marketing programs, such as FAMILY GAME NIGHT, as well as by offering
consumers new ways to experience these brands.

In our girls' toys category, we seek to provide a traditional and wholesome play experience.
Girls' toy brands include LITTLEST PET SHOP, MY LITTLE PONY, FURREAL FRIENDS,
BABY ALIVE and STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. In 2010, we will seek to expand the MY
LITTLE PONY brand through television programming.

Our preschool toys category encompasses a range of products for infants and preschoolers
in the various stages of development. Our preschool products include a portfolio of core brands
marketed primarily under the PLAYSKOOL trademark. The PLAYSKOOL line includes such
well-known products as MR. POTATO HEAD, WEEBLES, SIT 'N SPIN and GLOWORM,
along with a successful line of infant toys including STEP START WALK N' RIDE, 2-IN-1
TUMMY TIME GYM and BUSY BALL POPPER. Through our preschool marketing
programs, we seek to provide consumer friendly information that assists parents in
understanding the developmental milestones their children will encounter as well as the role
each PLAYSKOOL product can play in helping children to achieve these developmental
milestones. In addition, our preschool category also includes certain TONKA lines of trucks and
interactive toys and the PLAY-DOH brand. We recently entered into a ten-year agreement with
Sesame Workshop that provides us with the licensed rights to produce products based upon the
SESAME STREET portfolio of characters, including ELMO, BIG BIRD, and COOKIE
MONSTER, among others, commencing in 2011.

Segments

Organizationally, our three principal segments are U.S. and Canada, International, and
Entertainment and Licensing. The U.S. and Canada and International segments engage in the
marketing and selling of various toy and game products as listed above. Our toy, game and
puzzle products are developed by a global development group. We also have a global marketing
function which establishes brand direction and assists the segments in establishing certain local
marketing programs. The costs of these groups are allocated to the principal segments. Our
U.S. and Canada segment covers the United States and Canada while the International segment
primarily includes Europe, the Asia Pacific region and Latin and South America. The
Entertainment and Licensing segment engages in the out-licensing of our trademarks, characters
and other brand and intellectual property rights to third parties for non-competing products and
also conducts our movie, television and online entertainment operations. In addition, our Global
Operations segment is responsible for arranging product manufacturing and sourcing for the
U.S. and Canada and International segments.

Our strategy is focused around re-imagining, re-inventing, and re-igniting our brands
globally through the development and marketing of innovative toy and game products,
providing immersive entertainment experiences for our consumers, and expansion of our brands
into other consumer products. The following is a discussion of each segment.

U.S. and Canada

This segment engages in the marketing and sale of our product categories in the United
States and Canada. The U.S. and Canada segment's strategy is based on promoting our brands
through innovation and reinvention of toys and games. This is accomplished through
introducing new initiatives driven by consumer and marketplace insights and leveraging
opportunistic toy and game lines and licenses. This strategy leverages off of efforts to increase
consumer awareness of our core brands through entertainment experiences such as motion
pictures, television and publishing. Major 2009 brands and products included
TRANSFORMERS, LITTLEST PET SHOP, STAR WARS, NERF, MONOPOLY,
PLAYSKOOL, PLAY-DOH, MARVEL products, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, G.I. JOE, MY
LITTLE PONY and FURREAL FRIENDS.

International

The International segment engages in the marketing and sale of our product categories to
retailers and wholesalers in most countries in Europe, Asia Pacific and Latin and South America
