During every riot I'm in I like to read The Riot Act to passing rioters.

Okay im gonna have a bit of a bitch,ive noticed over the past couple of weeks how the MU BTS scene on toyark has took a turn for the worst,a while back we got all these great stories about how avengers assemble 8 packs for 25 bucks and spidey sets had been turning up all over the place,yet no one wants to help out fellow arkers with their needs.guys are picking up these sets for next to nothing then taking individual figures and auctioning them for stupid money,now i dont give a toss what the apologists might say about people charging what they want,if you are in it for the love of collecting then you DO NOT profiteer.but i feel that the scalpers who used to lurk are coming out of the woodwork,because most of the old guard are gone so they do not have to worry about being named and shamed.
the irony of it all is these same people are the first to ask you for a good deal when you have something they need. |

I agree. Nothing but new members contacting me who want premium prices for items they paid retail for. And when some one wants something exclusive or rare from me I'm supposed to give it away. I had to flat out tell one guy that I was not his cash cow. Just because a figure is selling for a price online does not mean that I or any other respectable arker was going to pay that. Nothing but a bunch of profiteers as you put it. Praying on our plastic crack addiction.
I actually never even saw a Wallmart 8 pack to purchase. But if I had I would not be asking stupid $ for them just because others wanted them. I do miss a lot of the old regulars. It was a lot better when all of the people I was dealing with were establised contributing members and not this influx of capitalist toy hounds padding post counts to look credible. No offence to any new members. It's just hard to trust anyone new after you have been riped off.

No offence to any new members. It's just hard to trust anyone new after you have been riped off. I hear you guys. The people that are out to help the community do exist out there, but just not as many here as there used to be. I have noticed a lot of the newer people putting up BST threads or messaging me have the highest possible values on their stuff and the lowest on mine. You see a lot of this with collectable card games or stuff like Heroclix because the manufacturer creates a rarity system and an instant secondary market which is why people usually drop those games once they see the crazy costs. I don't mind someone wanting market value for an item that is out of production and has naturally created a value, like a ML BAF or toy from a past line. But I don't like seeing all the Bagheads at every store get bought right away because people think they can flip them for $40-$50. The problem is that the "value" is often created, at least partially, by the scalpers buying up a figure so no one can find it. At the end of the day I don't think the mods allow you to call people out here anymore and all you can do is just not deal with people that aren't thinking on your same level. Just be safe and don't buy from people who don't have a track record or require them to send first.

Off topic. If someone is looking for the newest marvel legends. Check out amazon.com, deadpool, punisher, doom, mystique, us agent, bucky cap are like 8-10$ a piece. And its eligible for free shipment if you spend 25$ or more. Good for people who dont want to pay 15-30$ figures online or other retails. Good for fodders and customs for people who customize. Credit to the person whom i read the info awhile ago. Bought 2 deadpools and one punisher cause i dont want to pay 15.96$ plus tax on retail. Good luck. Go to amazon.com and search marvel legends. Hope you can get and order fellow arkers

I dont do alot of trading but i am def up for buying and selling w/ Arkers that i know and have seen around for ahwile. Yeah it is fucking bullshit that all the background lurking scalping shitheads are coming out of the closet. But im sure we all know whos new and whos not so just avoid them and they will go ass fuck some other board.
I to am in desperate need of a bag head spidey and have posted about it for months. But i am not willing to follow your link to your ebay auction that starts at $45 or pay you 4x's over what you paid. So guess who doesnt have a bag head, lol. |

That Baghead is supposed to be in the Prof. X, Blastar, Jubes case. That means that hopefully this overpriced Baghead nonsense will die down.
As for the lurkers, I post over on TFW and the lurkers are all over that site. Makes me glad that I'm caught up on the TF's I want.

400 MU figures? You are deep. I don't even know how many I have but I figure at least 100 between movies figures and all. It's hard to get into a line after it's been going for a while because there will always be figures you really want that are crazy expensive. Like, I had a couple of ML years ago but never bought more than a handful (mostly to make the sentinel actually). Trying to start collecting that line now would be not be cheap. Thankfully, I'm not the type to buy every figure, even though I do but most MU figures. Even if I wanted to get just ML X-Men it would cost a ton to get figures I'd want like Cable. If the price is too high it's almost like the figure doesn't exist to me lol. Yeah, I saw a bunch of good stuff on Amazon today. Too bad shipping to Canada is no fun. |

i say change your shipping service dude,thats an odd one when someone based in canada orders something from the states and it gets delivered 6 weeks later to sweden.i dont know what part of sweden you are referring to but it usually takes about 3 weeks for items from the US to arrive in malmo.any later than that then its a customs issue.
