Dammit. No Hatchimals in our BF truck (which is 1900, not enough
TMs, at midnight, this will be fun).

Plan B:

Talk like Yoda.

HATCHIMALS!!! We do not have."

 

[BeelzeBecky]

I almost bought a couple Hatchimals when they first came out. They seemed interesting and I thought I might like to have one for myself, and gift a few.

Imagine my dismay when I saw that the little fuckers were going for tens of thousands of dollars on eBay. What the actual fuck???

Jesus, talk about winning the lottery. Who knew this stupid toy would be The One???

My girlfriend called and asked if I could pick up a Hatchimal for her granddaughter. I told her she had a better chance at finding a needle in a haystack.

We have them outside waiting even before the truck is acknowledged...

I had several people ask me about hatchimals in the middle of the BF blitz. I managed not to laugh in their stupid face, it took a lot of effort, but I did it.

I laughed. Then explained myself. Many of them had never heard of them...

My ETL said someone asked him about the DCI for our trailer.

 

[Leonhart621]

Question. What do you guys do when you get a casepack of Hatchimals? We started handing out tickets but what comes to mind is when should we give the tickets out? Im thinking 10 minutes before the door opens if they're waiting by the door. That way they'll suffer waiting in the cold weather with the rest of the people who really wants one.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

We do tickets. You must get them when the store opens.

We started doing exactly that.

Flow TL has been checking the detailed DCI report as soon as a trailer drops in, so he'll already know if we're getting any when he pulls up at 3:30. But he won't say shit to any of the crazies who are already outside waiting.

If we do get some, he'll print tickets and hand them out at 7:50 and a flow tm will ring them out at the electronics boat. If we don't get any, he'll go tell them at 7:50.

Why yes, yes they are.

 

[RTCry]

I don't think they are. They had a hunch, bought 100 of them retail in October, and set them on eBay with the starting bid at the retail price. They could have easily been a bust. How many knew about Hatchimals in early October?

It's called capitalism. They took a guess back in October that these would be huge and they spent a ton of money based on that guess. It was a big risk.

They are listing them on eBay for the retail price and the consumers decide how much they are ultimately willing to pay.

 

[Marvin Martian]

I laughed. Then explained myself. Many of them had never heard of them...

I kinda laughed also but then explained why. The guests all understood how many times we are asked that question.

 

[ClarkKent]

How is it a big risk when they can just return them to the store. I bought one to flip but I'm just going to give it as a gift because the kids will love it.

 

[SFSFun]

How is it a big risk when they can just return them to the store.

They were purchased from Barnes & Noble in October. The return policy is 14 days.

 

[Kompa]

Why yes, yes they are.

No they aren't. They bought these when no one gave a damn and they are now giving people an option to get them without camping outside stores at 4am.


It's a brilliant move and a huge gamble on their end.

I hope they all hatch prematurely

why, didn't get your hatchmial lmao?

 

[Kompa]

Also imo they shouldnt even give out tickets at the door. The first people that gets to the aisle should be the one to get one.
