EXACTLY...
Not to mention, shouldn't these be pretty easy to find in the average store
(I know some people have issues with their local stores just flat-out not stocking stuff, but in general)??
We need to remember that 80-85% of the people who will buy these, most likely are NOT on a forum, or even just online researching, etc.
I would think that a high percentage of the majority of TF consumers will see a lot of these figures for the first time in a store.
I bet the average parent usually only looks at toys when they go to the store WITH their kid(s).
I would think that having the kid there with you and letting him or her actually help pick it out
is part of making the kid happy, and is pretty important in that situation.
I know there's the scalper aspect, but even then.
If you can get to a store within the first few days that these come out, I bet you'll get what you want.
Besides, get around $30 at a time at a Target, and use those coupons!!!!
I'll wait though. And the delivery dates are round my b-day! what a good present.
