Don't bite the hand that feeds you awesome toys. They make awesome retail waves, and awesome exclusives. Almost all their NYCC or SDCC excluives can be bought on hts.com, at the cc event, or on ebay. I doubt stores would make a huge profit off these. As $49.99+ tax for 3 figures, and wolverine is the only really notable character for parents and kids. They will probably pass on this, which make up 70% of the market, 30 % is die hard fans and collectors. I think these would sell at retail but not through the roofs. I mean look at MU sentinels or Galactus, big awesome toys, that sit for a while on shelves. ML Deadpool, now that figure will sell a fuck ton, make him red suit, xmen suit, xforce suit and you will see profits jump up. The major problem with Hasbro is not quality control, paint, sculpt, or character choice, it's distribution. It's hard enough getting retail items stocked, let alone exclusives, plus target, TRU and Walmart all get their fair share of exclusive figures.
