Topic: Since Hasbro will not listen to us....maybe the retailers will?

Just curious is there a way to contact the retailers themselves and let them know that their consumers don't want 5 points of articulation figures?  It would be easy to point out the failure of Superman and Iron Man toys.  Would be nice if some sort of petition could be made and sent to the retailers directly.

There really isn't, and even if there were a way, it would not help anything.  They don't make the toys, they sell them, and they don't cater to any one group, be it collectors or kids, all they want is the new items on the shelves to sell.

Hasbro has long used retailers (specifically Wal-Mart) as a scapegoat which turns out to be a complete fallacy if examined for more than 30 seconds. 

On the retail level the best thing to do is vote with your wallet.  Hasbro will get the message eventually.  I'm betting at the end of this year we probably won't hear much about 5 poa figs.  Just ignore them for now and only buy the good stuff.
