I agree and I bet you are mad when you cannot find something at the store that just released last month so you have to pay to a high price to a scalper to get it. I have a great affinity for everything I collect old or new and I do not wish to sell them at all. A complete set of wave 10 goes for $300.00 - $400.00 on ebay. For the same amount of money I can buy the first Superman action figure for the 1940's. Think to yourself which is the genuine collectible. I am trying to point the difference between a genuine collectible due to antiquity and availability of items due to scalpers creating a demand under false pretenses. As a matter of fact I just learned that my local WM's sporting goods dept manager collects and scalps. So my dreams getting any wave 10 figures at retail at that particular store are gone.
