From an academic standpoint…you are correct
however from a common sense perspective…it is completely nonsensical to engage in such lengths to get a plastic bucket made in the sweatshop behind the tiki room at Shanghai Disneyland

The fact more people show up to the debut of a Figment popcorn bucket than a $1 billion dollar Star Wars land (hyperbole) is amazing to me, but what gets me even more, is the fact that TWDC refuses to implement an addition that actually allows TWDC to capitalize on Figment during non-popcorn hysteria days.

Your mistake, I fear, is assuming a Figment ride would cause the same frenzy as a plastic figment bucket.
WDW leadership is a mess, but today is a reminder that a broken fandom provides some of the incentive to remain a mess.

Same!
And people are complaining that the Beacons look bad at times, but they'd how to use them more in time. They've already shown that they're easily programmable and they're willing to change the sequences.
Eventually they'd nail down the sequences so they all look fantastic!

The amount of visceral disdain I have for these people (and frankly, the company for allowing it to happen) is considerable.

How do you stop it? They probably bought their 2, then had other people buy 2. They then pay the "helper" and take the merchandise. Not much Disney can do outside of tackling everyone seen carrying more than 2. The problem is the attitude that the people have where they are kind of flaunt what they are doing.

Then get 10 people to buy them off shop disney. Same thing used to happen with concert tickets with mins. They would have several people all call and buy the max. And have people stand in line as well. This way they were assured to not only get a good quantity but also get a great chance at the best seats.

BTW not disagreeing with you that its horrible. Just that disney doesnt have alot of power here.

If they sufficiently stocked their stores and websites, this isn't a problem. Scalping is only an issue when there's scarcity. Current supply chain issues may make certain things scarce beyond Disney's control, but making an item scarce only drives up demand even more in situations like this.

I pity them…to be honest. It’s such a pain in the butt that this isn’t a “hobby”…they need the money. There’s always a better place to find gainful employment not named “Orlando”
They actually could: stop making everything “limited release” and have them available for a period of time. All this stuff is cheaply made and the overhead is near zero…so they could actually just raise the prices a little, sell volume and deliver for the shareholders.

Nothing in those pictures doesn’t go to pattern
I was thinking that because there’s easily manipulated park exits, if someone’s walking out with 15 instead of two, you just confiscate them and refund them for the excess. It would be a pain at first but would likely make it much more difficult for the resellers and at least discourage many. And continue the confiscation of APs that they were doing for a little while.
