I remember listening to David vonner saying how the toy companies do what they want based on self fulfilling prophecies... If they dont cater to us more, they will not make as much money. Boils down to Supply and demand. Do the retailers REALLY demand more peg warmers? Am I supposed to believe that TRU, Walmart, and target asked for a Hyperion 2 pack with the amount of them peg warming as they do? Sorry, I just don't buy it.
I do fully believe that the supply for us will pick back up based on how many people buy 3.75" scale, I'm stoked at those possible predators coming out, and boss fight has figured this out and are capitalizing with some amazing stuff right now.

Well said to you too... you snuck n there while I was typing a long winded story about nothing!

Maybe toys and figures in general aren't selling as well as they did a few years ago. Most 7 year olds have a tablet or a phone now. Perhaps casual gaming, MineCraft and YouTube have killed the youths desire to play as much. There are a LOAD more items tugging at mum and dads purse strings these days than action figures.

The world has changed since 2008 when MU were fresh. I was still using MySpace and rocking a Nokia phone then. It is COMPLETELY different these days.....

Anyway, I am curious as to what revealed will get!!! I am wishing for more villains, cosmic stuff, c list Avengers- both heroes and villains, some more female characters and the return of the cartoon line. The one with Leader... I liked that line even if it was a "filler" line during a transition. I know it won't come back, but I liked it.
