I have been reading these posts and there are over 363 pages of anguish. I decided back early to pass on this one. And after all that has transpired I am quite happy that I did. At the end of the day most of our lives are pretty stressful as is. So why add all the additional stress gratuitously. Do you really need the toys that badly? An economics professor of mine once said when referring to a major sports event "If is not on TV I do not need to watch it". So at times you have to ask yourself: If you have to jump through hoops, spend a chunk of money, spend countless hours checking the website, and all the aggravation, are the additional toys worth it?
There seems to be a very common misconception among the fanbase that the Club is directly responsible for your level of stress. This is ridiculous... YOU are in control of your stress. The Club can't be held responsible for an individual's susceptibility to freak out at every small announcement. Individuals are in control of their own emotions... it's their choice to react so strongly to these things.
The Club announced there would be roughly $600 in 4" exclusives. So waht? We still don't know exactly what they are. We do know there will be more than last year. How can all of you judge that the increase is ridiculous without even knowing the content of what you're buying?
For those who say this is way to much... how about not buying one or two of the items? I don't go crazy when I walk into the grocery store and they are carrying an extra brand of candy bars. I implicitly understand that the store is not demanding that I increase my spending and purchase it. I walk by and continue on.
As for the parachute drop, this one comes up every year. It's a shame, but if they can't get permission to drop them what are they to do? If there really is another shortage of the figures I would agree that's certainly something to complain about... but even that doesn't seem too clear to me... unfortunately their wording on the FAQ page is somewhat unclear.
Anyway... I definitely feel people are overreacting (as usual). Oh well. Personally, I'm very excited to see what Hasbro will show and what the exclusives will be. I'll let you guys fester in the drama.
