There's also the fact that we don't buy the toys from Hasbro directly but from secondary sellers (be they KMart or eBay sellers). Any problems with the product would have to go through them, and even if by some miracle you could get 'compensation' from Hasbro itself it'd likely be the standard 'approximate value in whatever old stock we have lying around'.
