That was the most awesome hunting experience I've had recently...sadly, though, I will not divulge the name of this comic shop, because times is tough in Cali. I can't afford no competition right now

Well, Hasbro's involvement with distribution ends when they ship the products to the retailers' warehouses. All Hasbro can do is relay information to TPTB at their retail partners.

But kudos on finding Mystique and Maddrox. And I totally understand about not revealing your sources

Also quite true. One only has to look at MU vs DCIH to see that.

I could come up with complaints about Hasbro, but they've done amazing things. If they gave me Aunt May flying a Quinjet at this point, I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't mind a few more unmasked heads, and the plastic hip joints confuse me, but I'm happy. Hasbro has made me happy.

Aunt May and the Quinjet would be awesome. Especially if they did a remold into Blind Al.

I dig the artwork the scale of the universe/market they're trying to create but we need diversity in shipping, for me there's only a few stores that even carry them walmart,zellers,sometimes winners and I have 2 comic stores that may get the odd piece but for the most part I'd have to order a case inorder for them to bring it in

Believe me, Hasbro tries to get their products sold everywhere they can. But the retailers always have the last say on what they carry. You could try going to stores that carry similar boys' toys and ask why they don't carry MU. If possible, speak to the toy department's manager.

It also sucks that you guys don't have Target. So far, they've been the best bet in the US for finding new MU figures.
