I have no problem with scalpers, but I blame the retail stores and even manufacturers for not providing enough supply. Apparently stores and perhaps manufacturers do not understand supply and demand. If there was ample supply such as LEGO, the secondary market wouldn't necessarily exist until after the toy has been retired.

Unfortunately I joined the MU collection late and have been playing catch up, but fortunately for me Hasbro has been kind by releasing revision cases that inlclude many Series 1 and early figures that I still can get close to retail price from BBTS. At first I started by only collecting one MSP, but sometimes the cases that come from BBTS are creased or crushed... those toys give me an excuse to open and give to my son. As a result I have multiples of certain ones.

If I saw 5 normal Visions on pegs, I'd buy 2 (maybe 3).

People that have inside connections do piss me off, because that is unfair to the rest of the collectors in the area. I blame the employees in that case for letting that happen. Also people who work customer service in returns sometimes do not help by accepting bogus or defective items.
