Has nothing to do with being thin skinned. I like to avoid making things personal on forums, especially over minor disagreements.

Okay, so exclusives aside it's their full line-up. Any store exclusives will consist mainly of repaints anyways. It's not like we're going to get an entire line of 3.75" Force Awakens figures with all brand new molds as a store exclusive.

Or will they??

Look at TRU's exclusive G.I. Joe line. It's mainly repaints with a few new elements here and there like a new head or a new gun. If Hasbro is planning a store exclusive line called "The Chrome Series" what makes anyone think it's going to be all new figures? That's not cost-effective for Hasbro.

If you look through the catalogue embedded at the end of the article it shows the full lineup.

First look at 3.75" figures. Not part of TBS and don't have the level of articulation that TBS figures have. 

I'm wondering if that rumor that Hasbro is trying to get out of making 3.75 inch figures by giving us crap quality is actually true.

No company would do this. Their ultimate goal is to make a profit, they would never intentionally release toys that were bad with the hope that fans don't buy them. What logical purpose would that serve? If they really wanted to stop producing 3.75" figures they would just stop producing them.
