Toys R Us charges too much for everything anyway.

What will happen when parents realize certain super hero lines carry similar problems?

Spawn for example and certain Marvel and DC characters have illustrious histories that cover a lot of topics from child molestation, rape, murder, drug usage, and more too. They just manage to hide it better within the packaging.

Heck, one character in particular from DC, was even featured in the Teen Titans cartoons!

It's one of those things where you need to speak now, or later when they come for the lines you buy, it'll be too late.

I do think keeping them in 'specialty item aisles' is the route to go though so parents if they so choose can avoid those aisles. That may be more problematic for building block lines though that do tend to be more intermingled. For the most part on those though, the ones buying Halo building block sets would be likely to pick up zombie ones too and most stores have those separate from normal Lego areas.(But still near the kid centric power rangers and similar kids lines.)
