WOW. mattel really putting the gay in GAY-TEKEEPING !!!!
okay but fr fr, jokes aside, IF this is true, big IF !!!!! do not buy them after release. i’m being SO SERIOUS RN. now i’m NOT saying DO NOT TRY TO BUY THEM. please do that. get on mattel creations, wait for the timer, and try to buy. you never know. you just might get them. what I AM SAYING IS: DO NOT BUY THEM FROM SCALPERS
this is one of, if not THE MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASE of the year. the scalpers already know it’s coming cuz they love stalking our spaces. they’re already prepared for the drop, they’re just waiting for the day. monster high community, PLEASE FOR ONCE LETS PUT THE FOMO ASIDE AND COME TOGETHER AS ONE. DO NOT LET KIERAN VALENTINE AND SPELLDON’s ONLY RELEASE BE INACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE
we know the scalpers are watching and we know how they operate. they go by a quick-cash agenda that if they cannot make their money (plus more) back quick, they WILL BRING DOWN PRICES. shit, maybe even return them back to mattel and give us a second chance at getting the dolls and then not even bothering with that drop cuz they saw it made them no profit. we already know we cannot rely on mattel to give us a restock and even if they do, the scalpers are still a problem
i’m literally BEGGING YALL to NOT BUY FROM THEM. time and time again the monster high community is always “i HAVE TO pay three times the price for this doll”, or the “i’m late to collecting but i love the haunt couture line so much so i saved and payed $400+ for draculaura” and the one that irks me the most “well where else are we suppose to get them from ?? the scalpers have them all!!!!!” — buying from scalpers (and not just scalpers but collectors who also scalp dolls) IS A CHOICE. paying $300+ dollars IS A CHOICE. you don’t HAVE TO pay that price, you CHOSE to cuz you wanted to. you were okay with that
so if y’all really want these dolls, DO NOT BUY FROM THE SCALPERS. their quick-cash method falls apart when no one buys from them. the moment they saw the bratz x mean girls cady didn’t give them the $300+ dollars they were hoping for, they brought the price down and the collectors waited. they waited patiently till they brought down the price to $90 (cuz ebay takes a cut) and some of them even brought it down to retail price. so don’t give me that “i have to pay this much money for it” when we know scalping falls apart QUICKLY. if the bratz community can do it, we can too. they deadass said “you know what?? if none of us can have them, then the scalpers can keep them. let them rot in their basements. it’s just a piece of plastic. we don’t need them” and it worked
best case scenario, everyone who wants this set gets their set. worst case scenario is it happens like every drop and the scalpers take majority of the dolls. SIT TIGHT, BE PATIENT AND WATCH THE PRICES DROP. we CAN make this happen. like seriously, monster high is all about inclusivity and diversity and if even the gay two-pack can’t make the “oh so inclusive” community come together as one then what the fuck are we really doing ?? what the fuck is the point in loving monster high and being a community if we only think about ourselves and not the rest of the collectors who only wanted one set but are not in a place to pay $200+ for a set of dolls ?? i’m literally SO TIRED of seeing this community cry and fall apart in shambles over mattel creations exclusives when they don’t even do their part in fighting the scalpers. if everyone banded together, the scalpers will deadass leave us alone. i promise you that
