Great point.
Not to hijack the thread but have you seen this?

It will take a while for it to develop but I can see this changing many different markets. Our beloved toys could be one of them.
If Hasbro could make it so all stores have to sell them for a minimum amount and can’t have bargain bin pricing….some online prices will lose their luster and it will increase sales in brick and mortar locations. I am willing to pay an extra buck or two if this ultimately increases our selection at our local retailers.
More sales for retailers = more reason to carry more stock = better selection for us plastic addicts. Which means I no longer have to plot the downfall of some six year old as I see him making his way to the check out counter with my Firefly figure in his grubby little hands. There should be another one on the pegs.
