    I am expecting to see this next week when the Nintendo WiiU gets released all over. I have seen big scary dudes grabbing up preorder tickets at Best Buy and Target while 10 something year olds were being sent away with nothing.

    No.

    If I find a toy I've been looking for for a while and I get it first and some kid asks me to give it to him, I'm gonna say no. But at the same time I'm not gonna rip the toy out of the kid's hands if they got it first.

    I swear, the nerve of letting kids into a toy store. Those unappreciative little bastards need to stick to their pac-man and hula-hoops.

    xD!

    I kind of saw this once. I believe a kid had hidden something behind other figures hoping to come back in a few minutes to claim it and an older person came by and took it out, knowing he had hid it. But this pic is a bit much xD

    No, haven't seen that happen, but I would like to xD
    Don't get me wrong, but I know toys are 'meant' for kids, but I swear, I'd do that if it was an exceptionally rare toy, or one that I was desperate for :p

    I've given toys out of my hands to kids before. It's not always easy but it is the right thing to do.

    Not at a store, but I've seen it before in a parade once. People on a float was throwing out hats, shirts, posters, ect and a five year old kid got a shirt and it was taken from him by a older guy, probably early 40's. That happened around 2005, the kid was really happy when he got caught that. The piece of scum took off after he took it from the kid. If the parents weren't shocked, I'd probably would of seen a fight.

    My dad ended up giving the kid what he caught from earlier in the day.
