It really started back in the 1930s when Macys started their parades to lure people into the store the day after thanksgiving with the floats of all the brand new toys for the current season.

In the mid and late 80's I had to go through that crap with He-Man (the trick they did there was have billions of everybody else and 5 He-Man figures) and then those damn Teenage Ninja Turtles (they always want a paticular one and no other TMNT would do). I remember one time a crowd of people just waiting in the asile and the guy just bringing out the open boxes and getting the hell out of the way.
