So you have 5 figures, that look like 6 in the computer then some one buys all 5, then the computer won't order anymore because it still thinks you have 1, this figure will never be accounted for and has for all purposes disappeared, even if it made it in the store it could have got stuck behind some dog food under a shelf, could be anywhere.

I don't know how bad sales have to be effected to make large toy companies realize the stores on an individual level need some kind of rep to come out and check stock.

And, to revolutionize the market they need a figure that is 2 figures made back to back with Batman on one side and Superman painted on the back, kind of like those circus lady/men but front and back.

Yes and sadly I have met those reps and they don't know jack squat of what is supposed to be on the shelves.
