I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
children don't understand the artistry that goes into the toy sculpts or the box design and they have a surface level understanding of recent lore at best. that queen amudala doll should have been mine

reminds me of a post ages ago about getting rammed and knocked over by the cart of a comic book guy-looking dude to prevent the poster from taking the last Soundwave transformer on the shelf, who then grabbed it and trundled to the checkout with it. just posted through it rather than reporting the guy for assault

i think the funniest thing was that it was written before the new star wars movies had even come out so the guy was super pissed about not being able to buy funko pops for a movie he hadnt seen yet

i think there was also a post where a goon bragged about getting the last toy before a child could get it but maybe im imaginging it or thinking of something else

remembering some idiots blog post about how a star wars event at toys r us was ruined because there were too many kids there, it contained the phrase "the funko pops had been decimated". been stuck in my brain for like ten years.

I went to the midnight Star Wars thing to get some of the collector figures and it was mostly adults and they all power ran to the toy section and one guy grabbed every one of the collector figures in one scoop.

And all the adults were picking the very child centric scraps while the few kids there were trying to squeeze between their bodies.

It was weird

So yesterday morning I went to a couple stores down here in the South Florida area looking for amiibos. At a TRU in Pines 20 minutes after they opened, I noticed a Sonic on hold behind the counter with a note saying "FOR KEVIN'S AUTISTIC SON". Angry that some rear end in a top hat put one of these on hold, I left home to wait for my Majora's Mask LE New 3DS to arrive via UPS. Well today after lunch my girlfriend and I went by TRU to see what was going on. You know, JUST IN CASE. Sonic was still on hold! I know by prior experience that TRU can only have an item on hold for 24 hours so I had her go in to the store (she was still in the car) and say she was Kevin's wife and was here to pick up Sonic. It was a success. I got my Sonic and some rear end in a top hat learned his lesson to pick up his toys on hold within the allocated time given by TRU.

whether you read a post about it or not goons have for sure done this on multiple accounts and the math shows it's probably happening as we speak
