So short sighted. But typical of Hasbro... they only care about what retailers are buying and not what the end consumers are buying (or not buying). Hasbro reps should be paying attention to shelf warmers because obviously if toys shelfwarm, they're dead stock to the retailers, who in turn will be reluctant from reordering more stock in the future if existing stock is still cluttering their shelves. IMHO Takara (and even the less caring TakaraTOMY) care more than Hasbro -- they try to make products that are pleasing to the end consumer, which in turn sells the toys which in turn encourages retailers to order more stock. It's not rocket science.
