Indeed. After posting, I realized that I said it was the toy makers fault. I agree with one of the previous posts in that I place blame on both parties. But if I had to lean one way or the other, I'd say the retailers for ordering all that Wave 1/2 crap. I'd venture to say that retailers don't make the distinction...they just see movie toys. And think they're all the same....so they order crap tons of it.
