What I meant is that ruffling the feathers of collectors because you're selling your toys for less money than they paid for them isn't a valid reason to refuse to reissue them.

Considering the MU Sentinels, which are incredibly well-done and fairly comic-accurate, ended up being reduced in some parts of the country to $15 or so, I'm not so sure.

$40 I can see. $75, not so much.

And personally, I wish Jubilee looked more like her classic self. Just a black jumpsuit with a yellow jacket didn't cut it for me. I know Hasbro is making more recent versions of characters, and that's fine. I don't expect them to start doing everything that I want all of a sudden haha.

But I think most collectors agree with us here. Classic Jubes over "Vampire" costume, and a better body for Mags than that FO Punisher base. It makes sense to give collectors what they want. Higher sales, even if they need to put Jubilee in a different wave so it's not 3-4 females in one.

Missing the point though, that "fathom" isn't even related at all to one of it's definitions. "Queer" is just an odd case, because it's a case of someone using a term to mean what it really means but as a pejorative, and then it being adapted to also have that as a second, more innocuous meaning (through being "reclaimed").

Ironic is a good example of what I'm talking about. Most people who use that term may not even know that they're using it wrong. They're using it to mean "coincidental," which should be corrected.

"Sentience" is another example. The meaning of that word has never actually changed, yet most people still use it in place of "sapience." It needs to be corrected.

"Buck" though, isn't a case of a completely unrelated word being used to mean something else, like fathom. It's a case of something that already has a meaning related to "body" or "action figure" being used inappropriately.

It would be like me saying "fox" instead of dog, and then everyone starts calling domesticated dogs "foxes" and many people, who don't know the difference, take it up. That's already happened btw, with "possum."
