Word famous toy company Hasbro, makers of Monopoly and the Transformers, have had their key event showcasing this year’s possible Christmas bestsellers disrupted by environmental campaigners over the company’s refusal to stop using rainforest packaging for their toys.

The event, held in London’s West End, is billed as a chance for Hasbro’s key retailers to “come and see the top must have toys and games from Hasbro this Christmas”.
