Gary OS said:I disagree completely with your first sentence. The statistics do not back up your assertion, but I'll leave it at that.
To be honest, I'm not even sure if I'll pick this up. But as always, I'm happy for those that want it.

I think it's been a pretty good year. It be nice if everyone got everything they wanted, but there becomes a point were you over-saturate the market. There's only so much demand and companies plan accordingly. I'm sure we will have some more big announcements Oct-Dec and maybe even a few Christmas Episodes for your collection.
