So there are always two scalpers waiting at my local TRU. Every time I make it there by 9:05 am everything worth my time is gone. Last week I had to go into work early so I made it there at 8:40. For once I was the first in line!

The scalpers showed up at 5 of and got into line behind me. The doors opened and I headed to the Marvel universe aisle. There was nothing there but I still felt a small sense of victory that for a chnage I had the first shot at the nothing. And then I went to leave....

...And walked into the shift manager handing the scalpers full cases of Captain America figures. ...all of them. Never having touched the pegs, ignoring the fact I was in fact there first.

I don't hate scalpers I hate scumbag store managers that get cut into the profit. what was the estimate earlier? $6 a figure profit? 2 cases each of 24 at $6 a pop, $250 profit.

wasn't the street date on the Captain America supossed to be the 16th anyways?
