So, I decided to stop by my local Walmart to see if this guy was there. I walk up to the toy aisle and find a small family (mom, dad, and 6-or-7-year-old kid) looking at the transformers. I hang back so I don't make them feel pressured or like I'm lurking on them. The kid was looking mostly at the NuRID figures, but then he suddenly turns, reaches behind a Skullsmasher, and grabs...Chromedome. I got a quick look and I'm 99% sure it was the Takara head. He says, "I want this one." His mom says "okay" and they start to walk away.
I was so torn between my feelings of "Awe, awesome; a new fan. I hope he enjoys the toy." and my inner collector screaming "Noooooooooooooooo! I wanted that one!!!!!!"
Then, all of a sudden. A ray of hope. Dad says, "No, you got a toy yesterday. Put it back." My heart stopped.
But then, Mom cuts in and says, "I already told him he could have it." She puts it in the basket and they all walk away.
I considered running up and offering them money for it, but then just decided to cut my losses.
I do actually hope the kid likes it.
