Even if that toy is never released ever again, right? So why get upset? Are you wishing that you could have bought it so that you could re-sell it for a profit or something? I guess that I just don't get the idea of wanting to own something purely because it is difficult to come by, but maybe that's personal preference.
I HEAR YOU. IT'S CRAZY.COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE...THE BIG MARKETING PLOY FOR Y2K DECADE IS LIMITED EDITION, EXCLUSIVE THIS, BLAH BLAH BECAUSE WE LIVE IN A TIME WHERE IT EASY TO OBTAIN ANYTHING....ANYTHING!!!!! IN RETROSPECT THIS DECADE IS GOING TO BE KNOWN FOR ALL THIS LIMITED EDITION MARKETING. DON'T GET CAUGHT UP...COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE...BUT IF YOUR INTO SNAKE EYES I DON'T SEE HOW IN THE HELL U COULD PASS UP ON THE BLACK VERSION IF YOU FOUND IT IN RETAIL....IT JUST LOOKS SO COLD WITH THE BLACK PACKAGING, BLACK CHARACTER ART, BLACK FIGURE , BLACK TIMBER ...OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................... I'M GLAD I GOT 10!!!!!!!!!
