I must say that I'm disappointed with the SDCC box sets not being made available.....yet? But maybe, that's the point of exclusives. However, if they had sold out at the con, an announcement somewhere would have been a nice thing.

One quick snipe - as its apparent that ML's aren't wholly supported by collectors... Even though at $20 minimum per figure, I'm sure there are heaps and loads of people lining up to by the line other than us. Hasbro, and it's representatives surely know our communities on various sites around the globe, and those who don't voice their concerns surely exist as well, it's long past due that Hasbro creates a venue or in some way shares some low key information with its core support of any collector's line. Transformers, GiJoe, Star Wars, And Marvel properties have loyal followers (aka - buyers of said lines), and it would only increase their belief in each other's camps if there was a place to trade ideas and information on events, ideas and anything really that could be of value to both sides of the coin.

I'm just saying what I'm feeling, as I'm sure Hasbro has a reason for not continuing with their 'Ask Hasbro' threads in toy forums. I mean, I could post something in a thread like that and say 'hey! When are we going to get a ML sized Quinjet?' every day until they got pissed off enough to quit responding to me or something else. Heck, I'd be really happy if Hasbro just had an update on all lines thread on every toy based site out there, all they would need to do is make statements, not even answer questions. It would be nice if I knew to start shopping eBay because they had sold out a box set at a con or even sneak peeks of something coming up months from now. I say all this because even though Hasbro has reps at cons and some things get answered, nothing is really definitive and if the subject matter is 'sensitive', we get nothing but the classic run around.

I sometimes get the feeling that even the people who work for Hasbro and represent certain lines couldn't care a lick for what they produce, or who their customers are, and it doesn't make sense to me (not that it must, because I'm just one guy who likes Marvel heroes in action figure form).
