[Trivial Psychic]

Oh yay....awesome. More "exclusives" that I will never see unless I open up my wallet to Ebay scalpers...

I said this on one of the other threads, but I really wanna air my grievances about it again...I'm glad to see everyone's been able to find the new NECA figures. Kinda pisses me off actually, not because you guys are finding them, but because plain and simply put, my local TRUs blow. One of them is a half store with a Babies R' Us, and the other one carries completely different items, is on the other side of town, and is constantly pillaged by folks who drive across the Mexican border who do their shopping there (as it resides across the street from our largest shopping mall. And I'm not kidding, you will find more cars with Sinaloa or Sonoran license plates in it's parking lot than you will with Arizona ones on any given day of the week.) On top of that, that same TRU also is picked over daily by a locally owned toy shop in the mall that then re-sells them at scalper prices.

Those facts aside, neither one of them ever got the Keaton Batman last year at all, and I sure as hell know I will never see any of these either. It's really disappointing, because I dig that Reeves Superman, and still want Keaton Batman if I ever get around to it, QC issues and all.

I really just wish that companies would ease off of exclusives, especially when it comes to retailers with less than stellar track records like TRU and Walmart. It's really starting to zap the fun out of the game. Had they made these Gamestop, Hastings, Amazon, or Walgreens exclusives, I would have hope. Hell...even Target has gotten better (with the exception of that Shadow Squadron box set last year...but even then, I was still able to find it thank goodness..) But seeing the word exclusive with "TRU" or "Walmart" right in front of it seriously makes me want to mail a box of my feces to the company providing said exclusives.
