Its just a thought really, but maybe this was their weird way of combating the scalpers? Now, I didn't order one on Amazon so those that did please clarify but I'm thinking they didn't really enforce a hard limit on them? So if they DIDN'T...then that means that whoever got their orders in could have ordered as much as they want.
So I guess to help fight scalping, maybe they held off on shipping out those orders and opted to use the Treasure Trucks to give people a "fighting chance" to get them...after all you'll have to go to where ever the truck is and pick it up, so that maybe eliminated some of the more "lazy" individuals or even people that aren't in the near area. I'm not sure if they imposed a hard limit on these too, but I DO know that when I got mine from the Treasure Truck, I ordered it around 11-12 right when they sent me the text message that its available..... and I didn't go pick it up until 30 mins before they were shutting it down....and they still had QUITE a few left (I'd say about 10-12) and this was in Houston, Texas. So unless I'm wrong, they must've had a purchase limit.
I know it's still jacked up that Amazon hoed the people that ordered theirs online, especially the legit buyers that actually wanted one to use and keep..but maybe that's why they did what they did.
Anyways if anyone can clarify any of the points I brought up then feel free to do so. Also if this has been discussed to death then mods do what you gotta do
