This statement makes no sense. Even if scalpers do not exist and kids/parents will not be able to afford this toy; the only reason why I would not bother patronising a TRU is if they are not "first-to-market" or if their prices are higher than import+shipping.

Secondly I will not feel obligated to participate in mass-buying simply to encourage a retailer to import things I like in future.

23 soundwaves per store may or may not be the ideal number to bring into Australia for them to make a decent profit but thats on them, not us.
