Okay, point conceded, perhaps people need to calm down on both sides of the argument.
There is certainly nothing wrong with a healthy debate, or disagreement, it's the resorting to playground name calling that I was addressing.
On the hypocrisy front, i don't think that i communicated my intention as clearly as I hoped, I am referring to the fact that everyone knows that this sort of marketing strategy does not break any laws or rules, but it doesn't mean that it does not (evidently) rattle people's cages. That was the point that I was trying to make (poorly).
Tax avoidance is legal, but not really palatable by most people's standards. Certainly the proximity of these releases to the original release (as with anakin) does not help. If three years had passed, I imagine that people would likely see it differently.
I have no axe to grind, I can see both sides of this......but whether the practice is new or not to hot toys, it may well be a new experience to the people complaining.
Personally, if it bothers me, then I exercise the only power that I have in this situation, with my wallet.
And also - eloquently put sir.
