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 »
"if i can't get them all then i will stop buying altogether. please reissue the exclusives so we can all aford them."
"TOY FARE SHOULD BE STOPPED "
"I fully agree with the above petition."
"BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"STOP THIS NOW!!!"
"Exclusives anywhere at any time spoil the fun of owning these toys. Playmates sees none of the after-market profit, so I see no reason why you would want to upset buyers by putting out figures which will be unavailable for less than $50."
"Keep up the great work on a spectacular line of figures, but please, please help out us fans/collectors and put a stop to Toy Fare"
" I had a friend call Wizardworld to find out the status of his Boxing Homer, after discussing this he asked about the Pin Pal Moe that he sent in for through the magazine, and was told 99% of the mail in coupons will be sent back. This was only weeks aft"
"SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR CANADIANS TO GET A HOLD OF THESE EXCLUSIVES WITHOUT PAYING A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. IF I GET A TOYFARE MAGAZINE HERE AND MAIL IT IN IT IS ALWAYS SOLD OUT BY THE TIME IT GETS THERE, AS IT TAKES LONGER TO GET "
"this is horrible doing this to fans that support the line"
"I mailed my Pin Pal Moe the day I bought my Toyfare mag. It has been returned to me "sold out". Now to complete my collection I will have to spend 3 times the amount to get it online."
"I think these exclusives should be available through other means, Wizard magazine is just using these toys to increase sales of their publications and real collectors who have invested money in your product line do not get a chance to add to their valued "
"I got suckered into buying a two year subscription to ToyFare magazine, like the petition suggests, in a "bundle offer" so I could receive an exclusive figure. I reasoned that since ToyFare is offering SIMPSONS WORLD OF SPRINGFIELD INTERACTIVE FIGURES (ex"
"The Wizard World exclusives have taken the fun out of collecting Simpsons figures. My biggest concern is the limited production run and quick sellouts. I've been lucky so far, but if I miss out on a figure, I'll have to resort to buying one on eBay at i"
"I am also frustrated with the way Wizard does the exclusive Simpsons figures. I got a subscription to the magazine for the only purpose of getting the exclusive figures. Whenever I get my newest issue in the mail I send out the coupon for the Simpsons fig"
"Besides the exclusive figure misshaps they have no customer service at toyfare when you call there is only voicemail and where is my boxing homer that I ordered a subscription for I still haven't recieved it and there's no one there to help you"
"I think it is unfair to allow these companies to distribute figures how they choose when they too publish price guides. That's a conflict of interest and what insurance do we have against collusion and price scalping by staffers. "
