And remember as well, just about in anything you do - from brushing your teeth to driving your car - someone can find issue if they really are looking for it.

[QUOTE=miketime;144727]All pricing and that bitch mgr at Target aside. I'm glad someone at least brought it up. You are talking about scaplers clearing out product before you get there and then when you come accross product you are buying twice as much as you need all in the guise of helping out fellow collectors. I will pick up an extra fig here and there if I know I can get a good trade for it or if I know a friend wants it. But you are doing exactly what the scalpers are doing.

I did enjoy you saying what the other guy was returning. It made me laugh. Especially when he asked to buy the toys you just purchased. But the next time you come accross new figs you don't need just leave them for the next guy. It's weird, If you said all the figs were for you I don't think any one would have a prob. With poor circulation of the MU line, collectors are just on edge to find these new waves. I my self will not pay over retail. I have been using those $5 off hasbro coupons every time I get one. That's how I've been off setting my costs.

I'm not trying to attck or accuse just explane why people might feel this way.

Staff Edit - Coupons removed for validity concerns.

That's some fair points. Allow me a rebuttal?

A. Didn't realize those "prices" were no longer considered reasonable. Haven't exactly seen prices on ebay since, you know, I now have everything. Not really a priority, so I'll be changing them.

B. Do I hate scalpers? Sure, but my issue is that they buy everything there, leaving nothing for others.

I left at least 6 of everything there.

C. Someone said economy is bad? It is. I literally just moved to a house that I'm paying for, as well as my college and living expenses for me and my girlfriend. I apologize if trying to find a way to support a hobby for me and my girlfriend seems hypocritical, but $30 on avg per figure because nothing, save this ONE influx, gets here.

If you've ever seen one of my rants, I don;t get anything. MY toy runs include over 8 cities/towns, last my entire day off, and I have never seen at retail any Dark Hawkeye wave, no Sentinel or Galactus, NO new GI Joes and most other collectibles. If trying to recoup some of that cost so that I can stay in this game is considered unacceptably hypocritical, then I apologize for angering you. And to play advocate, I have no idea if said scalper was in the same boat, but at the very least, I was TRYING for fair prices.

Here-

Colored Dr Strange- $15 shipped, Skaar and Falcon $12 shipped. To whoever PMs first. Are those fair prices?

Fair deal?
