I called Hasbro a few minutes ago and told them, about the Titanium 3 inch problem, they claimed to not have received any complaints.
The representative said that he would contact me when they found out about the issue, I told them that this may be a big issue costing them sales of the fans that want to purchase them.
I told them of various Targets that seem to be overladen with them I think due to the base issue. The employ said he would put it on the Target E-board because he was unaware of the issue and had told me the guy in electronics had pointed out the initial Titanium price swap to them.
I know many of you planned not to pick them up but for the ones that do, is this the big issue why you are not getting them as well?
I know it is for me when I buy a $4 dollar display piece I want all the parts to be correct, thanks just wondering what you guys think.

I've never heard of a base issue with the Titaniums. Sure pegged bases would be awesome, but I didn't really think it was necessary for most of the Titanium figures. I didn't even realize it was a significant complaint.

That is the problem Devastator, the problem is so rampant that most of the bases in the stores do not even have the peg, so unless you cought it back when they first were out then you would never know they had them.

I am not upset but this post does primarily talk about the 3 incher issue not whether or not 6 incher pegs would be dandy.

Well I think it would be much better to have the feet "imprints in the base with pegs so the toy would be anchored, or have multiple pegs for a range of poses.

Easy fix... A drill, a plexiglass rod and some glue.
