I don't think they have to do a mail out to do this. They should simply do a large batch run of the corrected card, and then distribute them to Toys'R'Us and Walmart. The set owners could then go in and exchange the original card for the corrected one, should they wish to.
And cost Hasbro millions of extra dollars, wouldn’t it be easier to hide the truth by saying his cost was intended due to upcoming other heroes? (that have yet to significantly surface even 3 waves later).
What’s worse; publicly admitting to a mistake and having to pay millions to correct it (Look how Hasbro has already cheeped out on the quality of cards, its not hard to see where their priorities are).
The other option is to insist it was intended, save money and reputation, and let the real pissed off players edit them with house rules anyways. Really, it’s only a small percentage of players dedicated enough and have the whit’s to put two and two together.
I think the fact that the mistake falls in such a grey area being at 180pts, its not totally unbelievable that a unit could cost this much, especially at the time of release (wave 1). But with the release or additional waves, they have done little to justify his cost, and in a sense highlight their mistake with the continued release of more powerful characters worth less points.
Im proposing right now that we house rule Tealord to 80pts, and drop his free disengage bonus. Im looking for a majority of agreement here.
