Refreshing packaging is also to keep the retailers interested in a line that might be running out of steam or to hook in new retailers to increase sales.

I didn't feel I needed to go into detail again, especially since it was already covered in this and other threads within this forum. But since you insist, here's the short and skinny:

1. There is an immediate flaw in your logic to assume that Hasbro is out to "get" you, or fan/collectors in general. As if they are this faceless, evil entity that has some sort of agenda fueled by schadenfreude. I have noticed this apparent attitude in several of your posts.

2. Why would Hasbro be afraid to make a toy if they knew it would sell? They're in the business to make money, so avoiding an opportunity like that seems highly counter-productive - particularly for one of the largest toy companies in the world.

3. I also question the logic behind your suggestion that Hasbro's decision to not make a toy line for DOFP was based on the inclusion or absence of a BAF.

4. As I have said previously, it is entirely possible that the Marvel team within Hasbro had too many other projects to work on for this year and had to make a call. X-Men movie toys do not have that great of a track record at retail, so if their workload was a factor then the least marketable IP (in their eyes, not ours) would get the ax.

5. Another possible reason that has also been suggested already is that it would cost Hasbro more to produce figures based on the X-Men movies due to paying additional licensing fees to the studio, the actors or both.

But hey, you're free to believe whatever you want. Just don't be surprised if others disagree from time to time.
