Well to my suspicious mind,i think you maybe busted a scalpers insider,he seemed to know a lot about what was in demand (that crock he told you about wave1 could have been the bullshit he gives non figure qualified Joe public who ask questions) Consider the possibility that he is sliding the desirable figures to someone else for resale,along comes you,who SHOCK HORROR knows his stuff,and he's thinking im in the shit here,so he uses the SS to back him up,and dismisses you as some toy weirdo to her,she goes back to her duties none the wiser,he goes back to his toy-stealing,scalper helping rat-bastard ways breathing a sigh of relief........
