Come on Hasbro,where's the love???

I don't think it's so much Hasbro, but the retailers simply not wanting to stock the figures. They've been burned to many times with peg warming multiples of the same character and the Green Lantern movie figures (which can go in a category of their own). My belief is that it's the retailer's fault to begin with, as their attitude stems from not wanting to stock these figures unless they are mainly characters that they have heard of (hence producing multiple variations of the same character) and that they actually DO something (hence the gimmicky accessories) because in their mind, kids won't want to buy the toys unless they are the main character and it does something. That being their third mistake, that kids are the only ones who buy these things.

As for prices, try Worlds Apart Liverpool. No standard pricing - WWH can be £5, but Spider Woman is £6.

Go figure. Ahem.

Bit of a trek for me but thanks.
