Agree to disagree then. If you really think they're all trash, then you're sadly missing out on some great toys. I won't claim that every movie toy is a gem, but that doesn't mean they're all bad, either.

A lot of good stuff in your post, but this especially.

I'm not a fan of the Titan line of figures, either. But my point was AOE hasn't been out long enough to say it's shelfwarming like the ASM2 and TWS lines are right now.

Even saying that is bit misleading IMHO, since there are movie tie-in toys that appear to be doing pretty well at retail - at least in my area.

That's not the toy company's fault. Case ratios are, but the retailers decide how many cases to get for their initial orders. I suppose if toy makers would allow retailers to place orders by a specific wave or assortment number (and the retailers actually cared enough to make that distinction), then that part of the problem might be solved.
