No horse in this race, but I gotta say the mounting impotent rage inspired by this issue is pretty funny. Maybe the trucker convoy can be rerouted to WB's corporate offices???

The funniest part of all this is that grabbing a Grifter at retail (insert whatever neutered gun toting hero/villain) will only prove WB's point that the characters will sell sans their traditional weapon sets. And most people know that, will buy anyway, and ignore their role in it all in a perfect fit of cognitive dissonance.

This shit is kinda rich; they got y'all by the balls/ovaries/etc. But don't worry, this isn't me engaging in a bit of schadenfreude (although I'm definitely laughing at the situation) as much as it's a form of commiseration. As a long-term Legends collector who wades through constant full(overpriced) redecos and redrafts along with countless near-misses, I feels' your pains'. But at least we usual get guns and ray-zappers.

Seriously, as mentioned, there are work arounds for this and it ain't like y'all will stop buying.
