No no no I didn't mean it like a legit contest or anything just like if we had a way of sharing our progress or something then that'd be cool. I'm sorry I used the wrong

EDIT: For example like, if we set a bar such as X figs or Y amount of money between all Arker donations. We could take that figure and say to Hasbro in the next Q and A; "We here at the ToyArk etc etc etc." Pending response from Hasbro, we could possibly influence other communities to do the same."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the motivation to do this stems from the supply and demand of MU as depicted through:

1) Collector attitudes
2) Scalper involvement

This leaves kids kinda screwed though because we as collectors are in a better position to secure these items between transportation, finances etc. But scalpers screw both collectors and kids alike regardless.

By doing this just as Toyarkers we accomplish getting toys to kids. By spreading it to other communities we may be able to change the ATTITUDE of the entire line. A little altruistic but short of witch hunting every scalper and taking their excess wares to the orphanages...this is the best solution thus far
