If above $4.99 is a rip off, then don't buy any, period.

There's a crap load of Anonymous signers on there. Those will just be ignored and thus rendering the rest of the petition moot.
I would be shocked if we hear so much as a peep about this petition through the ranks of Hasbro. BTW, this is just a statement and not trying to be flaming. |

acceptable to you, maybe not to Hasbro. unless there is some information that supports the assertion that $4.99 provides an acceptable profit margin to retailers and Hasbro, the assertion is arbitrary and meaningless, and therefore the petition is meaningless. that has nothing to do with a do nothing attitude. again, it has to do with being reasonable.

One hundred and thirty seven really is not that many, especially when the movie hits. Even if it's completely awful, kids will still see it due to it being a mindless action film, which will push merchandise. Not to mention kids going "I SAW THIS ON TV I WANT THIS MOM!" in the aisles, so Hasbro won't really see much reason to lower prices... especially for the small amount of people clamoring for it.

When you consider that out of 10,208 members at Hisstank you only have 137. That's 1.34% of Hisstank members, many who normally spend huge sums on toys compared to casual collectors and kids.
I would really be interested to know any of those who signed the petition that would refrain (not buy) from buying more Joes once the 7 packs (Alley Viper/Night Creeper/Chuckles/Mindbender) and wave 5 vehicles (Stinger baby) come out, not to mention the movie and resolute products (SDCC). I'd also be intrested in knowing Hasbro's response once it get's sent to them. Quote:

This is just plain sad.
You realize how many fanboys here would give their left nut to find Eels for less than $12 online, much less $8? How about something that has a chance in HFIL of being taken seriously, like a petition to put a few hundred Best of 80s packs on the HTS? |

That's why the #5 pack was in the case with the other POSs. |

Hey where is that petition at I would gladly sign that one. Hell I would sign in blood on a contract Satan handed me for a Best of the 80's pack.
