   Unfortunately that's what retailers do believe. They get a massive pile   
   of toys / books / other merchandise whenever the first new Star Wars   
   movie comes out (Episode I, Episode VII, etc.), fail to sell it all and   
   are left with large piles of "peg warmers", and so then don't bother to   
   get the later releases. Thos of us who actually try to collect   
   something end up with large gaps and or having to pay over-bloated   
   prices to get the stuff from overseas.  :-(   
      
   Then there's the greedy scum like Hasbro who re-release the exact same   
   product in different packaging, or like Dorling Kindersley who release   
   a book, then a year or two later release the same book with a couple of   
   added pages.   X-(
