*Hate to be the “wet blanket”, and while this is all fine and good, “exclusives” like this make me nervous…
*What I mean I guess is that I'm not going to be able to make it to the con, and I'm sure there will be others like me that can't either…Why should we be left out? Why should we not have a shot of owning this particular figure? Why should we have to fight over it like a pack of starved and hungry animals on the eBay “secondary market”?
*That goes for this AND the exclusive GBII Peter/Stay Puft Minimates at this very convention…
*I like being able to add to my ever-expanding collection without having to break my bank account in half…But sometimes that's an unfortunate necessity…But it also gets redundant and tiresome to fight with people, nay fellow rabid fans over stuff that should be available to EVERYONE, and not just the few hundred privileged attendees …
*Stuff that's been off the market for decades? - Shure, bidding wars come with that territory…New stuff? It shouldn't even be an issue…
*In this day-and-age, I can't afford to get into massive bidding wars with people on eBay like I used to…I once bought a rare band shirt for $50 without questioning it, and this was after fighting with like 10 people over it…Not only that - It was a bootleg…But for me to try and do that type of thing now? Don't think so…
*Honestly - I again think we should all have a shot at this figure…But that's not gonna happen, and unless I and like-wise people in my situation get in good with someone that is going , we're gonna be the ones left out…
*It's gonna be hard enough with the regular figures that will be on their site…How much do you want to wager there will be ALOT of unhappy fans due to the fact that the figures sell out so fast? Not everyone can be on the computer the exact moment they go on sale AND have the money in hand…
*Cheers.
