I would look them in the eye and say they were mad as bat sh#t for asking that, and say hey, we have a contract with you to deliver the rest of your product for Quarter 2, Quarter 3, and Quarter 4.
We based a large percentage of our toy sales plans around this product for the season. Deliver per contract, or face legal repercussions. Oh, and by the way, if you don't deliver as promised, go f#$% yourselves next year, because you won't be getting any further orders.
Messing up a retailers sales plan and quarterly projections because of a 3-d cash grab on the movie studio's part is one thing, destroying projections, refusing to ship product AND asking the retailer to box / label / return ship back to the distributor is insane.
As a buyer for over 10 years, I would have LAUGHED at any sales rep that made that phone call, sent him an invoice for the costs of our employee time, and NEVER returned a phone call again afterward.
This is just crazy talk. I can't believe it. They are just action figures, but the absurdity of the business model and business practice is just astounding.
