Well, it is nice to know that I'm not alone [sorry in a way I wish I were, so that the problem wasn't so prevalent]. Lucas again. When will he realize that he has enough money and leave the cosmos alone. Between him and Mr. Gates, the universe seems to be constantly being tweeked. :mad:

Yeah, to us it doesn't sound like a big deal...I mean, it's only an inch, right? Well, 1.25" is a full 50% larger compared to a 2.5" figure. It's like comparing a 6 foot human to a 9 foot human. Quite the size difference there, eh? ;)

As for Hasbro "hating the fans", quite the opposite. They really do value their adult fans. In fact, the DTC line would never have existed at all if Hasbro didn't have some sort of appreciation for us and a desire to cater to our needs...not to even mention the upcoming 25th stuff the end of next year... ;)

Hasbro is, unfortunately, strictly regeminted to what retailers want. Back in the "good old days" the toy manufacturers brought their product and the retailers aim to please. Now, more than ever, the retailers have the power and demand the manufacturers abide by their "rules". You get very large powerful retailers like Wal-Mart calling the shots, you run into some problems.
