Anyway, I went to a new TR in Paris suburbs, and found this discounter AT-AT, and a bucket with a ton of Hot Wheels for 1 buck.
I searched for some nice stuff I've seen here, and found this battle-damaged Enterprise.
Now I have to army-build some Snowtroopers. Wich model is the best?

AT-AT and the PIT are showing up at discount stores there? Weird. I still need to get some Snowtroopers for mine but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I don't think there is a really good version yet but you can get some lots of them on ebay for a decent price.

They buy them and jack up the price. I've meet many scalpers they are not nice people. Very rude and pushy. When ever I go to frank and sons I always see people dropping of bags of toys from target and toys r us.

Yeah, scalpers can be like a plague of locusts sometimes. Problem is that to the store employees I'm sure your average collector and the annoying scalper are seen as the same. They have a bad experience with a rude adult buying toys and they think of all that way.
