I guess it could be said now that people do buy them as collectibles rather than the extras tied to them, haha. I don't see what the problem is though. What should matter is that people are buying them. x ) I guess I could see why they would want people to buy them for the extras. It's a nice concept, although so far it hasn't really worked. Maybe they'll figure out a better use for them in the future...
Dance my pretties!
