>>11322415>DEAL WITH ITNO. Fuck you and your "thank you, sir, may I have another" taking it up the tail-pipe mentality. This is the fucking problem. Companies do increasingly dogshit behaviour, people like you just "deal with it" and when someone points out that we're getting treated like shit, you act as if I'M the problem. I'm not the problem, Hasbro, Mattel and all those other fuckers are.
>>11322417>more and more of the market is going made to order because that's what their customers are wanting.That's what we're TOLD we want. The same way companies TOLD us that nobody wants couch multiplayer, or single player games.
>If this was as bad as you were painting it, it would have crashed and burn alreadyEvery year toy sales decline, and a lot of it is because companies like Hasbro have been taking something that is supposed to be toys for children and trying to reshape them into high-end (without the high-end quality) collectables for adults. They complain "kids don't play with toys anymore" because they increasingly pull them out of physical stores where kids can see them, and put them online so that only adult collectors are able to get easy access to them.
>the only people I see losing their shit and being made at these markers are flippers, scalpers and the stores that operate with their helpScalping wasn't a problem when you could walk into any store and there would be 20 Luke Skywalkers on the pegs, and not just for a single wave, but brought back through packaging refreshes. I'm not saying there aren't problems and that physical stores are blameless, but using one problem to justify another isn't the answer.
>>11322421>Not if you are that guy that doesn't even get 10% of this shit.I haven't bought a single Haslab, because I'm so insulted by the very concept of them. Even when there was shit that I really would have liked, like the Black Series Rancor. That shit SHOULD have been in stores, or at least online retailers.
