But why should the big expensive toy company have their finger on the pulse more than anyone else? And isn't this just a way to have these "I want a big fancy wrestling ring" or "I want vehicles for my 6 inch figures" fans to put up or shut up about what they really "want"? This is supposed to be a chance to give fans what they want without having to risk the entire toy line to do it. And if fans decide they don't want it, then so be it.

Also, how many times do people have to see Ghostbusters toys on dirt cheap clearance before we accept that it is not in anyway a "slam dunk" sure thing?
