Re: Do you have toy buying "ethics"?
I agree with pud, jourdo. You're just logical. I've been collecting figs since the mid-eighties long before it became a recognized hobby. There was really no secondary market for new toys like there is today. Managers at my local TRUs would routinely let me into the back to check out stock that hadn't been merchandised yet. Years later I gave it all away because my interest waned and I wanted kids to use them for what they were meant for: playing with. The 4H MOTU line and Marvel Legends brought me back into the hobby but at a seriously reduced level. I also buy what I can afford and what I really like. In the end they are just toys. I accept that the small business owner is just trying to survive. I've always had no problem giving my business to the guy that, although he charged more than Walmart, was fair. Consistent fair pricing will always get my return business.
