Remember when 50th GI JOE became an "EXCLUSIVE". Remember those bizarre toy deals like Walmart getting "EXCLUSIVE" 3.75 Star wars or how Unimax imploded so target HAD to replace them get an "EXCLUSIVE" toy line from BBI/ elite force. Or how about the recent "Walgreens Exclusives" or "BARNES AND NOBLES and GAME STOP EXCLUSIVE" figures?
-------------------------------------------- Well I have it from a few good sources, it's not over. . . . . Retailers are beyond scared of E-tailers eating up their profits so they're signing up exclusive deals like candy. Gamestop is the prime example, but we now have such historically ignoble contenders as Barnes and Nobles, Best Buy, Gamsworkshop DLC exclusive and now Totino's pizza in game currency exclusive. Ho yes, even Pizza is getting in on the exclusives business! The thought process of the physical retailers is that even if you don't buy anything else but the exclusive, AT LEAST YOU KNOW THAT STORE YOU BOUGHT IT AT EXISTS NOW. Without thinking they're not fixing the problem or adding value so in the long run it's useless. Either way, let's have fun making fun at these business moves and cry as they keep making them. T_T |
