Your post makes a lot of sense to me. You should forward it to the appropriate people at Disney. It might also be a good idea to make up a petition for Disney to make more figures. If you make one up, I'll sign it! I bet a lot of other Indyfans will support it too, and we can email or mail the whole thing to Disney. Power is is the numbers. If enough of us want mail order figures, they'd be stupid to turn away the business and might do something! If anything, we will have been heard.

Just a thought,
