I've also realized that many of us who grew up in the 80s share a fondness for 3.75 scale, but kids nowadays can care less. There is no nostalgia involved for them so introducing them to Legends is not a bad move. They cost more and thus provide more revenue. There aftermarket value is incredible and will now only rise.

If u guys can't see through that, you are blind by fever.

I get all that, I was a huge ML collector before they froze up. As for kids nostalgia, my point is having toys that can commingle with toys they already have.

Hasbro is always talking about how excpencive the MU line is when they are 1 3rd the size of ML and only 1 3rd cheaper. That seems like a freaking win win to me. I know there's more to it but the main issue seems to be getting their shit out.

If they wanted to hold off on retail because of the Avengers hype, then what they should realize is they could sell online for a slight markup. keeping the shelves clear for movie crap and still distributing MU waves online. Collectors will pay a little more to get it sooner and other will wait for retail release.

It's the age of the internet. They need to get with it. The demand is there and as they said the figures were held up because of barcode BS. So put them up on HTS and let it ride. Once the problem is fixed and Avengers hype is gone, they can slowly trickle in to the stores.

I've never seen an industry that ignored demand as much as the toy industry. Back in the day I could understand some of the logic in their decision making. But now with the internet, It's just retarded BS.
