that's like saying you should be able to buy the same glove at walmart they had at dodgers "glove night".
isnt that the point of something being "exclusive"?
this isnt worth getting so worked up. some people take this stuff so personally! :confused:
here is the way i take it: if you want to get mad at someone, get mad at SCALPERS!!!!
Amen. Flash, I love ya to death, but to alienate an entire segment because of "Hasbro"...might not be the best thing.
An exclusive is an exclusive....Drift hit the nail right on the head with a 40 lb sledgehammer...if any of us want to get mad...get mad at the Scalpers. Hasbro is doing what they have to do to get product on the market...unfortunately, that being said, you have schmucks with no day job that stay on the prowl, all day long, hitting every friggin' store in their area and wiping out any and all new product...then listing the aforementioned product on eBay.
A prime example is Pimp Daddy Destro. Yet another exclusive that was offered on HasbroToyShop.com. If Hasbro didn't care (or didn't want to make money), they wouldn't offer convention exclusives on their website. That being said, scalpers came in, bought friggin' 20 of each, then put them right up on eBay.
I can completely understand where Flash is coming from, but in the same respect, I don't agree with what's being said. That's why I love the two boards that I frequent daily - Cobra Island & of course Hiss Tank. We can all share our feelings without fear of being banned for having a different opinion. ;)
