To each his own.
The difference between a scalper and a collector, is most instances a collector is only buying one juggernaut for their own display/entertainment, while a scalper will pick up Everysingle juggernaut and sell them back to use at 250% market price, plus shipping sometimes. and I've had mostly bad experiances with them.
I mean, an example, Thanos wave came out, I went looking and I went to a walmart out of town, and lo and behold, I get there literally 5 seconds after a scalper was there. He was there, with a cart, and he had EVERY figure from Thanos Wave in multiples. I was like "Dude, your buying them all, cant you atleast leave 1 of each so I as a collector can just pick up one of each for my collection at retail?" and he pretty much told me if I wanted them so bad, to look for them on Ebay in 2 hours.
