I also dont get adults collecting dolls. It strikes me as kinda creepy.

I used to work at a gift store a few years back during the whole beanie babies bizzaro market. Hourly calls about the beanie shipments. Nasty, elbowing adults knocking kids out of the way for Princess Diana bear or whatever the hell piece of crap. I expect those moves from a defensemen on the ice, but not in the toy section. First the management put a limit on the # you could buy during one visit- 10. Then they just dropped carrying them. These "collectors" would grab them at our $5 price (or whatever they were), put them online and resell immediately. Ugly. I give the store management credit for bowing out of the ugliness.

One more: I dont get the frenzy of shoping on the day after Christmas for Christmas crap. This is a major activity for many people. Lines and lines of people aggressively grabbing that stuffed santa....ugh.
