No More Simpsons ToyFare Exclusives!
Dear Playmates Toys: We, the undersigned, are writing to you to express our dissatisfaction with the business practices of ToyFare magazine and Wizard Entertainment Group. It is our opinion that they... continue reading »
"The limited number of each figure produced is part of the problem. If you decide to allow Tayfare (Wizard Entertainment Group) continue selling these as exclusives, at least produce enough so that the plenty will be available and the aftermarket value won"
"W/TF should be boycotted because of their shady business practices. I hope Playmates decides to sever its relationship with Wizard Ent. Group. I think the bad press they are receiving and the bad feelings they have created will negatively affect Playmates"
"Absolute doo-doo. I'm a collector and I want every figure. I refuse to pay $150.00 for a glowing homer, though. Please rectify this situation. Thanks!"
"I tried to order a PinPal Burns (had my coupon and mailed it in ON TIME). Totally dis-satisfied when I received my envelope back, stamped and telling me it had been sold out. What a rip off when ToyFare can't even honor the coupons it sent out - geesh!"
"It's information such as this that readily takes all enjoyment out of what should be a great hobby and most important, accessible market for children!"
"Please do not let the same poor decision-making that plagued the Star Trek line ruin the Simpsons."
"i represent a number of friends who are avid collectors, becoming more and more disillusioned by these practices. thank you."
"It's ridiculous to pay a 44 dollar subscription price or 18 dollars for a figure when they are at teh most 6.99 at the chains!!"
"Wizardworld's customer service has always been poor, but it's gone to an entirely new level. Previously, the company merely showed utter disregard for basic customer care. Now, it's virtual prison rape. If Playmates doesn't take some action agai"
"My thoughts are exactly the same as those listed. ToyFare does not have the collector in mind when it markets these exclusives. "
"This whole situation sickens me as a toy collector. An average fan can't even purchase one, but *somehow* the brother of Wizard's owner can get dozens and sell them for $100 a pop on his web site. Yeah, this sounds completely ethical!"
"Not fair! Please help!"
"This is just the sort of thing which can ruin the fun of these toys."
" I was outraged at the way the pin pal Burns figure was distributed, It seemed like it was a hoax to try & sell more issues of their magazine. If you have exclusive figures, haver them be mail aways, please don't let Toyfare have any more of them. It's r"
"If this is the case, I will cancel my subscription to ToyFare just to get a Boxing Homer figure!!!"
