Anyone that has been following this industry for the past couple years SHOULD be able to see trends and plan accordingly. And with the increased value of online ordering, preorders for many figures are NOT drastically more than retail (and shipping can be mitigated in other ways).
Retailers will never move to a system of individual figure SKUs. They don't allocate the space, the employee training, or even the desire to change the current setup. Which largely WORKS for Hasbro's largest clientele.
I don't know if that's to my point. Not being able to walk into a store and buy a product offered by that store is a problem. Yes, there are other options, but there are also people who never saw this years 50th in stores wherein it was an exclusive. That's silly, even if it can be ordered online elsewhere.
