I would not agree that the consumers are the only losers, or that we're losers at all as a result of this spat. Life won't end if we can't buy The Lego Movie from Amazon. On the other hand, all consumers can thank Amazon for driving prices on nearly everything down to some truly remarkable bargains, and Amazon accomplishes that by negotiating low prices from suppliers and then passing that onto consumers at low margins. Amazon's track record on delivering good value to consumers has earned enough them credibility with me that, if they think a publisher is overcharging, I'm prepared to support Amazon.

 All we know is that consumers are the only losers in this situation.

That is probably the stupidest phrase in the Internet right now. Thank you Amazon for doing this.

There was a preorder for Lego 3D Movie but then warner changed the edition for a much more expensive one, Amazon had to cancel preorders and got a lot of complaints. Amazon is trying to make things right.
