I even spent a while last week talking about how they haven't ordered a new case of MU at this WM in months and I can't wait when they finally do if they ever do. He said he understands and blah blah about his hot wheels the same things sometimes. I assure you this guy only picked it up because it was a variant. He spends hours every morning in this wal-mart, he knows the toy aisles inside out. He has nothing else to do, he is older and presumably retired. There is nothing wrong with this, but my point is that he knows when something changes in that aisle. He stopped at them because something was new/different. He looked at the cards, seen one was different than picture on back, picked it up. I very politely said that was the only thing I was looking for and if he was for sure getting it. And this normally polite and easy going guy suddenly became cold and quick to snap "yep" and quickly walk away. He knew this was different, he knew he was screwing me over, and he wanted to get away asap because it was awkward for him.

I don't condone destroying his things or anything like it, but man do people like this bug me to no end. I honestly thought having previously shared what I was interested in would help me, but no..

I know a scalper like that. I use to go to a local Thrift Store to get my son Legos. Scalper was very friendly when he met me and I even helped keep an eye out for the stuff he so called "collected". About a month or 2 ago, I keep going and not finding any Legos. Turns out he was taken them and putting them in his car before I showed up and blaming a lady that buys for her grandkids. To make the story short, I complained to the Manager that things were being held for him, he got ticked off and I let things be. Now he argues with everyone collecting figures/toys of any sort before he can grab it. So a bin of Legos I use to buy for $25 now gets sold for $150 due to the mess he continues to cause. As far as HW, movie/show cars, vehicles with rubber tires and vehicles with a circle with flames is what you want to look for...
