Last minute stocking stuffer turned out to be a dud.

My hubby went retro this holiday and purchased a Super Mario video game. So I picked up a small Super Mario Lego box that I thought was just Super Mario to gift him for Christmas. A very simple two three lego Mario. Or so I thought. Turns out that it's Propeller Mario and you are supposed to switch the Mario face from the Mario figure to the Propeller one to make it complete.

What a marketing scam!

And then I go to buy the Super Mario figure and find out it's either discontinued or they are out of stock completely. Either way, they're selling on third market for more than $50.00 so I'm afraid they discontinued it.

Capitalism sucks!
