That sucks. Looks like you should never let the competition know what you're looking for. lol I've showed up late to a toy Isle only to see a cart full of what I need rolling away from me. It sucks but there is always next week. I'd never reach into someone's cart but I would ask them as nice as I could for something out of it. If he was a true Scapler he would have offered to sell them to you after he bought them.

The more collectors I meet, the more I see a Collectors Code umong us. We trade/swap fig for fig no matter the value. Sometimes you end up with something for free when we all get together. The code only works if everyone abides by it. Mostly I see toy collecting as anarchy. I can't help but run to the toy isle every time I enter a store because ther could be someone there grabbing the one thing I want.
