Does Hasbro know that other collectors outside of Bronies have LOTS of money to spend on collectable exclusives?
I think that's the biggest issue. We just buy it. Even if we're unhappy. Many collecters act like we should be grateful for whatever Hasbro cares to send us. Because if we complain or voice concerns we might not get anything. Personally, I think a tactful negative response would be in order. To me, I'd rather have nothing than this.
The exclusives are obviously not for children, considering their price and availability. They're meant to be a collector's items. However it does seem like they think collectors are bronies. This years is clearly meant to be for bronies like last year's. Though, I think the fair will have a marked decrease in bronies because it's the same weekend as Bronycon.Between that the dissatisfaction among collectors, there will probably be a lot of these things for sale online by this time next week.
You know at first I was upset because I thought it was overpriced but after finding out how much the non exclusive version was I'm just kinda sad it isn't anything new. However if it goes on sale at HTS it might end up being a better bargain then buying the regular one.Quote from: Al-1701 on July 04, 2016, 06:10:25 AMThe exclusives are obviously not for children, considering their price and availability.

There are plenty of collectors who are also FIM fans. The collectors who are like "ugh geefor" are not the only voice of the collecting community.
