>checkout nigga rude and pulls them from my hand
>bitch to corporate
>manager gives me 50$ giftcard to buy them when they can sell them.

I guess my question is why do they have them in the first place?

To tease you.

No, seriously, whats the real reason for them? There must be some dumb corperate rational for them.
>>5948442
it's to drum up sales by making it seem more important than it is, like a triple A video game or huge blockbuster movie.

probably some marketing/psychology experiment demonstrated that the desire for a product and the need to buy it is heightened when you hold something you can't have vs just seeing a pic of it
>look at all these goods we literally have in physical form, they'll be in hot demand soon
>you can hold it for now, but what if they get sold out when they're up for purchase?
>better keep an eye on the date and make sure to snap one up as soon as we let you
>remember how good it feels to have this product in your hands
>oy vey, don't forget to buy it or you'll only feel regret for missing out
>>5948458
I thought that putting the figure out before the release was from stockers accidentally putting the product out too early?
>>5948554
It is.

Oh sure! Blame the Jews! It's only what everyone in the world's been doing for the past 5,000yrs, why break from tradition?!
I'm descended from a Jew (father, my mother raised me Methodist after she divorced), and in all seriousness I got a good laugh out of that, >>5948458 .
