Doesn't that sound like a scalper? why put something on your want list when you don't want it because it will be a peg warmer- why not just list it on ebay? I am not just belly aching because I didn't get what I wanted - I'll find the figure I want soon enough- I am just irritated at the way some people look at figures as an investment. If I had asked for something that was no longer being made then I would understand, but this figure just came out, there will be more. Sorry about the rant, just wanted to see if anyone else shared the opinion. I know I am new here so I may be out of line.

Dude, complaining about someone on a website they're a member of is pretty low.

If a comic shop had the issue of Amazing Fantasy that introduced Spider-Man, would you march in and demand they trade your polybagged X-Force #1 for it? No, you wouldn't. It may have a certain collectible value to some, but it's quarter bin fodder. Just like when gas is $4 a gallon, you don't go asking the attendant if he'd let you fill up for $1.50 a gallon. That's not how things work.
