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.
!!!! I would have knocked that mother _____ out!!!

I agree with the collector-scalper difference. I am collector. One of each. Not looking to sell or rip anyone off. I have fallen prey, I must admit, but it was no one's fault but my own. When the Clear Vision, Warpath, Ms Marvel, Daredevil variant wave hit...I SWORE they would never go retail...so I paid $80 apiece for them. (It was tax season so I had a little extra flow.)

Within 2 weeks they were $15 apiece on ebay, and within another 6 weeks they were retail. I got burned, but I lit the fire. Never again.
