== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' is a black comedy take on this trope, where two dads compete to get the last action figure of their sons' favorite superhero for Christmas. It gets to the point where they have a public fistfight in the climax dressed as said hero and villain respectively.
* ''[[Spy Kids]]'' references this in a disturbing fashion; Floop {{spoiler|(actually Minion)}} turns captured OSS agents into the Fooglies for his show, and then merchandises them as toys. Juni even owns a few, which he takes with him on the mission. To intimidate Gregorio, Floop uses his technology to turn Felix into a Fooglie, and says he can't wait to put his toys on the Christmas market.
* The ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' franchise features this for several items:
** At Andy's birthday party in the first movie, he is gifted Buzz Lightyear-themed merchandise before his mother reveals Buzz as a surprise present. Buzz is apparently the hottest new toy of the year, much to Woody's chagrin.
** Pizza Planet offers LGM plushies as prizes within a crane game. While most kids would collect them for ht novelty, Sid wins one to offer his dog Scud a new toy. He battles the crane game -- and Woody unknowingly-- on seeing that "Buzz Lightyear" is in there as a bonus prize.
