There's no point in replying to all of your post (as I'm not sure you remember what you posted over the course of seven pages...) but if you think Hasbro doesn't look at which characters sell more...

In the late 90's, I sold off my entire collection except for ten figures- I was a MOC collector and the piles of TF, MOTU, Marvel, loose GI JOE, and Star Wars just got to be too much to even display...

That is one that is also very common, and usually I see people do it in areas where the "buy-online-return-warmers-to-store scam" I describe is prevalent. It doesn't really help anyone, it just...

It's clear also that Hasbro is working on the distribution issue- there's only so much you can do. Since there's pegs that are full, but just not what you want, stores don't order newer waves. If...

Sorry to get back to you so late,

I like the cape on the Evolutions but I can see why some would go the way you did. That cape is really cool too.
