That's how the shopping goes for people, you play it by chance. At Toys R Us, it was fate that my mother wanted Blanket for herself and there was one sitting on the shelf. One. It's basically a 50/50 chance of you getting what you want. If you want something, it's either there but there's just one of it, or it's not there at all. Or it's hidden and you have to find it like Bundles was on the top of the shelving unit, my mother had to hold me up as I went up there to lower her down because she wasn't even brought down to the shelves when she clearly was available. It's sad this is how we have to do our shopping. We have to waste gas by scouting around the city, crossing our fingers something is there. When usually it's not, it's a risky way of shopping. It's just sad there's never a guarantee you're going to get what you want. "Oh, I feel like buying Twinkle 'N Flutter today. Nope, she's not in any stores. Oh well. And she's a fairly recent release, you'd think she'd be plenty in stock." Nope, retailers never have enough. MGAE needs to bump up their shipments, drastically. All I read are complaints from people saying they can never find what they're after.
