Ok, exclusives, Love'em or Hate'em?

[kryptosmaster]

It costs me more to drive to TRU than pay the $9.00 shipping from Mattycollector.com. So it cost me less to buy it online. And no scalper was involved.

That's why they should have them in ALL the major stores. Not just one exclusive seller.

Exclusives

I don't mind exclusives *IF* they are reasonably easy to obtain. My opinion was a bit soured by the Wal-Mart Exclusive DC Universe Classics series 5 & 10, but I was eventually able to find both those series in a store after many return trips to various Wal-Mart stores.
This particular exclusive (Mattycollector Green Arrow) I have no problem with, as it was easy to obtain, and remains available more than 10 days after its debut. If every exclusive was this painless to get, I'd have zero problem with them.

I am not a fan of exclusives. But I am not into repaints and minor variations, so don't purchase those type of exclusives anyway. If it is an original figure, like the Green Arrow, it can be a pain if it is like say a SDCC exclusive and ONLY available at SDCC, or a retail store exclusive, but if being sold through a site like the Green Arrow is, it doesn't bother me.

On the other hand, Exclusives are sometimes the only way to get something that otherwise not have been made at all... Case in Point: "Khan!"

[MightyMegs]

Hate them like poison.
99% of the time they are a pain in the keister to find, they cost more than they should and heaven help you if the scalpers get wind of it. And I do NOT get my jollies knowing I have something in my collection few others do; I prefer everyone to have all the toys they want.

I dont buy anything thats not orginal .this is the only time I have broken a rule the Green Arrow Mattycolllectors is just amazing

[starsky]

lovem only if i can get them easily!

[boynightwing]

I already can't find DCUC figures in stores, then they make Walmart exclusives I'll never see. What I hate most is that characters like Joker and Riddler are part of those exclusives. Why make the Joker hard to get? He'd be a good seller!

[BlackKnight]

If it's a Walmart exclusive. Because despite being the largest retailer in the galaxy, they never seem to have enough or bother to stock them.

The three words that haunt any toy collector: Mattel Walmart Exclusive.

Might as well be a Bigfoot's house exclusive.

Well Said ..., The Only Store exclusives That I personally have never, ever scene.

Walmart wanted more Popular character's ..., for thier You can't get'em Exclusives.

As much as I can really tell..
I don't believe you Broke Anything...
Thats not a Re-issue..
It's really a brand New figure, with a Classic Idea in Mind.

[bizzaro megomauler]

It killed my passion for collecting Star wars, and wwf classic figures. I thought chase figs were a pain in the keister, but exclusives warrant me to cut off the line completely.

[haggis]

Hate 'em if they are too difficult to get. Stuff like the Green Arrow, available to everyone through a website, isn't a big problem but sometimes store exclusives and con exclusives are very difficult and expensive to get.

That's just the point: most exclusives AREN'T this easy to find

[clemso]

I don't like exclusives, its market manipulation, pandering to the greedy. Just make the normal amount already.
