| Zeus 09/19/18 2:06:14 PM #206: | The Wave Master posted... We have discussed this to no ends... Nintendo does this "Sarcity" non sense on purpose to create excitement and buzz. And every time it's been brought up, I ask for evidence suggesting that it's being done as a deliberate marketing decision rather than merely ensuring that all of the units get sold. The Wave Master posted... every damn Amibo worth owning. While the scarcity argument would make more sense there, I'm *still* not sure that it's being don simply for that reason because the toy industry has generally overproduced popular characters and under-produced less-popular characters. This trend has even continued in series with BAFs/CNCs, which doesn't make much sense at face value. (And, for some stupid reason, Hasbro's brown&tan ML Wolverine was rarer than the rest of his wave, so I'm never finishing that Juggernaut BAF at this point... because fuck paying the overpriced secondary market costs >_> Granted, I assume it might be a matter that he was packed at equal rarity but, being a more popular character, sold out faster. And, if I'm complaining about BAFs, the absolute worst is Bandai's decision to split BAFs between waves) The Wave Master posted... I'm not flying for their shenanigans ever again. It's why I'm not getting a Switch. I don't see the connection, since the Switch isn't hard to find now. If this about the release issues, *every* console doesn't seem to have enough units at release and it didn't stop you from buying a ps4 after the ps3 was hard to find for months (partly thanks to scalpers) --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
