Pony Corral / Re: Stalking Ditzy Doo 2012

I feel like I must be misinterpreting something here.
As far as I can tell, Hasbro had a "one Ditzy per person" rule, presumably to give everyone an equal chance at getting one, and/or to prevent scalpers from buying up all of them on the spot. Seems fair to me. And then I see this thread, full of people who are actually bragging about breaking that rule by using multiple shipping addresses. Nobody minds that? Really? I've no interest in Ditzy personally, but judging from the 80+ pages of this thread, there were a LOT of people who really wanted one but didn't get one. Placing a second order using a different credit card is kind of like getting a free sample at the grocery store, then going around a corner and putting on a mustache and hat, then getting back in line for another free sample. Except in this case the free sample is a very sought-after (and not free) pony.
I dunno. I'm not even involved in this. *wanders away*
