First of all, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Here's what's on my mind-
I was out with my dad the other day, looking for a Tamagotchi 4.5. He was starting to get pretty mad at me since I had him driving out everywhere. ^_^ But anyway, we went to a multitude of stores that didn't have them yet. Surprise. When we hit Toys R Us, they said they had them! So the lady took us to the aisle and showed us a sign that said "Free Charm With Purchase Of Tamagotchi 4.5" then took us to the Tamas. They were version 4. I understand she may have been mislead to believe these were 4.5, but still. I said to her kindly, "I think these are the V4," not wanting to sound rude. "No, they're 4.5." she said bluntly, and the package even said V4 in the corner. I pointed it out to her (again kindly) and she took it to the scanner which confirmed it was NOT a V4 and indeed a 4.5. She even was sort of giving us an attitude as if she didn't want to be helping. Still, I wasn't going to be fooled and buy one I already had. We went to another Toys R Us who did the same thing. And when we left the first one, we heard that lady talking to her friend about us and laughing.
Did they know that it was the V4 and were they trying to cheat us out of our money? Or was it a misconception? I realize that not all employees are bad. Please, no flaming, I respect all Toys R Us employees.
So what was on my mind in this topic? Everytime Bandai comes out with a new tama, a whole batch will sold out in an hour! I can never seem to get one. I feel like I'm always on the short end of the stick. Do you guys get that feeling?
Thanks for reading!
