 :cry: I got that sneaky feeling that it's not really "collectors" cleaning out these boxes. Sucks because they are cute and I would want a few, but not going to pay scalper prices  :mad:

Hmm, well, even if it is scalpers, do you suppose their artificially inflating the demand for the toys will also increase the supply of them that comes out later on?

Its a catch 22 though - if they are popular, yes hopefully the retailer/supplier will create more - however if they remain popular they will still be the target for scalpers. Personally I preferred it when MLP was not a scalper target - much easier to find ponies under the radar!

I agree. I used to see them everywhere, but now it's near impossible to find any not on the shelf, and even that is hit or miss.

Been actually looking for these mini plushies and just come across empty cases of where they should have been merchandised on the shelf.  :mad:

Scalpers really ruin nice things for everyone.

Those are cute looking. I was able to get a bigger one at wal mart today. They have replaced them four times in the last few weeks and keep getting sold out!!!!
