Can I score some vintage loons for my Tamigachi?

Pogs for big baby stouts?

The newest money prefer to use "niller".

Nilla please.

He probably bought it at that store in DC that marks everything up astronomically, and needs to charge that price to make his desired profit.

I don't care about the price so much as I care about the selling of infected beers. I emailed him and he claims that none of the barleywines from last year were infected...

Oh **** hahahaha I didn't even notice that, assumed it was a 2016.

If it was '16 it wouldn't be that bad of a deal at $15/bottle. I paid 11.99/bottle. What kind of astronomical markups and desired profits are there off a difference of like $3/bottle?

(ignoring it's '15s)

Oh I was being somewhat facetious, but there's this one really overpriced DC store (I think in Dupont Circle) that basically sells everything limited at secondary market prices (or higher, in many cases).

I'm going to chalk my lack of understanding here up to not having kids and/or not following the yearly hot Christmas toy trends.

I cant believe im saying this...but if I had what this guy was looking for id make the trade.

My daughter sat on Santa's lap this past weekend and a hatchimal is the only damn thing she wants for Christmas.

Target is supposedly restocking them this weekend. If I could trade beer to make my daughter smile, ill do it all day every day. Otherwise, it sounds like ill be standing in line all night/morning instead trying to buy one of these...

I'm fairly certain that the dg TalkBeer Too will easily go 1:1 with a Hatchimal

That's what pisses me off the most about these things, not the trading of beer and whatnot its the gouging. If I happen to come across a few of these I wouldn't try to make 3x what I paid for it if someone wanted one for their kid.

I called my local Target they are getting a dozen of them. ******* 12. I'll be there, in line, with a bunch of estrogen laden soccer moms. I shall try to distract them by yelling things like "Get your hand off my junk lady!" and "Quit trying to cup my balls you sick pervert, aren't you married!?"

Hope my vape pen has enough oil in it to make the wait tolerable.

You can also distract them by bringing them all pumpkin spice lattes or whatever fancy ******** is in style at Starbucks this week

How do kids even come to find out about these toys to the point where it's the only thing all of them want?

The marketing of the annual hyped children's toy/gift is very interesting from a sociological perspective.

Somehow, my girlfriend who is a nurse at a children's hospital, has no idea what these things are.

Somehow, I know what these things are because I wish I had one to trade for rare loot

It has to be subliminal messaging

Nickelodeon
Disney Channel
Cartoon Network
Boomerang

Did you never watch cartoons as a child?

edit: too late

Ahhh okay so it's as simple as traditional TV product advertising? I guess that makes plenty good sense. I suppose I forget about that because I rarely watch television where I'd need to see the commercials.

It's not totally traditional TV anymore. The one my son wants is called Stinky the Garbage truck. It's not quite Hatchimal level but I had no idea how he found out about it until I looked over his shoulder during his screen time on the iPad. He was watching a you tube kids unboxing video about it.

Edit:
Also my first three store attempts to find one all came up empty. My wife managed to snag one on target.com somehow I had to go pick it up.

Why is that a thing?

 

[smithj21541]

Exactly! He gets 30min of iPad time every other day. He spends over half of it watching those types of videos. Half of them are made by adults. I'm guessing the toy companies pay them to make them out go ahead and make them like a grass roots marketing program.

If for some reason I had three bottles of rare, I would do this because rare is not good and Clover assuredly is. ZFG on clearly overpaying. I win in the taste department.

 

[aleigator]

Maybe it's a typo and his iso should read: 2 rare, like the G in the Gstar brand, once again alluding to big, rare beers.
He is probably wearing some bling-bling Gstar shirt right now!

Talk about a ****** deal
