>>5699817I personally think it's a bit like with Soom (or, like it was with Soom years ago in my local group): people are afraid they are missing out on something.
They like the doll, maybe not for 100% but a good 80%.
They rather buy the doll now than risking no re-release/having to face huge af second-hand prices/never seeing the doll for sale at all.
Most of the releases that went well but were sold quickly again by people were the ones that offered something new.
Of course people jump on that, maybe it's the only time FL will ever release this and it's the closest the buyer ever got to owning that certain concept.
That's how a lot of people in my group ended up with a shitton of Sooms while Soom still produced new things.
Fuck, a unicorn dude with hooves?
Never had that before, better buy it.
A wolf guy? Fuck, count me in.
Dolls with wings as arms? Here I come.
That stopped after Soom started recycling parts and totally dropped when they came up with rereleases, combining old parts and lotteries.
As soon as Fairyland does the same people will calm down too.
