I could be mistaken, but I think Outback's barbell piece has slightly bigger posts on it compared to the Spirit/Dusty barbell.

"Yeah, whatever, I don't care, put it on the shelf" is a completely expected side effect. I simply don't get consumers who are so desperate that they'll swap our crap because they can't afford $20 figures (yes, I realize Croc is $40, but this is a toy-wide problem).

I bought two Croc Masters for $4 each at an Amazon returns auction. Somebody removed all the crocodiles from both and returned them to Amazon with all that empty space.

When you don't pay your staff enough to care in an industry that's been subjected to supremely shitty consumer attitudes for decades that became far worse during COVID, and there aren't enough staff to fill our hourly sheets, leaving to even further burnout.

I honestly think swappers are basically just kleptomaniacs. And just like kleptomaniacs, I think they have a mental disease they can't overcome or shake on their own. Like there is a psychological rush they get just like someone who shoplifts. A normal, sane person doesn't steal and swap toys. Just like a normal, sane person doesn't shoplift or steal. Damn, that is a good deal! Did he still come with the leash, whip and pistol accessories?

Whenever it is and whatever's announced, I'm more curious to see if we're out of the woods yet when it comes to 9-12 month estimated ship dates than anything else.

But yeah, I get it - the younger workers especially - they don't give a flyin' crap. I agree - you have to be a special form of lowlife to shoplift and swap action figures. |

I definitely think we are already. Wave 10 shipped when it was originally supposed to and by the time we get wave 11 in-hand, it will probably only be about a 4-month wait from pre-order to having them on our doorsteps (1st week of Oct to 1st week of Feb).

Please forgive those of us who have long since reformed, but have dabbled. The psychology is aberrant but it's really more about risk taking vs reward than the person just being a pile of doo-doo as a human being. I'm not trying to excuse away the behavior or make broad excuses for any individual. It's just hard to paint every person with the same paint brush and be right.
