<p>IdiosyncraticLawyer: HTTP to HTTPS</p> <hr /> <div>Commencing operations in 1999, '''Funstore''' was an online retailer based in the [[United Kingdom]]. A joint venture between the venerable toy retailer {{w|Hamleys}} and [[Hasbro]], Funstore bucked market traditions of the time by joining in an E-commerce branding partnership to operate the retailer, though Hasbro's involvement was not made obvious due to the fact Hasbro was running the site under the Hamleys brand name. E-commerce software developer Actinic designed Funstore's software under a very tight timeframe to fulfill Hasbro's desire to catch the 1999 [[Christmas]] market.<br /> <br /> Unusually, Hasbro also included products made by their competitors (though packaged under Hamleys' brand name), such as [[Mattel]]'s ''Barbie''.<br /> <br /> Funstore later ceased operations with the advent of Hamleys' online retail outlet and Hasbro UK's version of [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] (which has since also ceased operations).&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.hasbrotoyshop.co.uk/ HasbroToyShop.co.uk's announcement of closure.]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/1999/09/16/179062/case-study-actinic-catalog-3.htm September 16, 1999 article at Computer Weekly.com on the Funstore.]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hasbro subsidiaries]]</div>
