I can relate to rreynol's point and understand where he is coming from. I am grateful that HTS.com enabled me to own something I thought would be sold out at the ComicCon for sure due to the sheer hype that built before the Con and the SDCC Gold Destro happening of last year. |

Not sure if you guys noticed this but HTS had both listed the first day (Blue & Black). (Which of course I missed it)... So when I go to the site it said "OUT OF STOCK". Then that night they changed the Blue up to say "Coming Soon" then the next day it was gone from the page.
My thought... they sold more Blue than they had and they had to pull it and replace all remaining orders w/Black. That's why the Black Suit is still showing as OUT OF STOCK while the Blue is gone all together. Just a hunch...

I think you are making an irrelevant point. Nobody is arguing the fact that toys are a "luxory" or not needed in order to live...we all know this.

Maybe Hasbro not only saves money by hiring 3rd world workers for pennies an hour but they get a cheaper rate if they hire the color-blind ones.
what the heck... they can't even seem to include all accessories with every figure they card either. Maybe they're blind all-together.

worse is the idea that you should be appreciative for being allowed to give your money to a company in exchange for a luxury good. you don't need that good for anything important in life, but Hasbro (or HTS) needs your money for something extremely important -- to stay in business! that's the end that should feel appreciation. how insecure are you to take such submissive position - "thank you sir, for allowing me to spend my hard earned money on your product?" that's ludicrous.

it's not even close to irrelevant. are you appreciative of Target for selling you soap so you don't have to go to work smelling like butt? the gas station for selling you gas so you don't have to ride a bike to work? the grocery store for selling you bread so you don't starve? of course not, because they are in business to do so to make money, just like HTS. just because you really really really want something more doesn't change the seller-consumer dynamic, in which one party profits from selling a good to another. and unless your are appreciative of the seller for every single consumer transaction you make, you are being hypocritical saying you should be appreciative for one but not the other, and I don't think any rational person looks to retailers who charge them for goods they need at a profit as an act that warrants appreciation.
and it's luxury. I make an adequate living which allows me to purchase some of the things I enjoy. Does that mean that I shouldn't appreciate them simply because someone else made a profit off of it? I just don't have that same sense of entitlement as a consumer. If I get the SDCC CC I ordered, I'll be happy. If not, I'll go home and beat my wife because GI Joes are that important to me....ok not really. |

I am not going to go any further with this gunslingercbr person, I can see and get his type already. Just forget I spoke. I'm just glad HTS.com gave me a chance to get something I could not possibly get where I'm located. |
