The sad thing is, people do buy it. The cheaper they make them the less they charge at retail, so people who aren't us must be buying that stuff. Quality isn't for everybody, but I see more waves of ML being bought from WM and Target up here every time I'm in one of those stores. If I'm buying a card or cheap cola/ chips etc, I always go peek in, and I always see a that a new case or two has come and gone, due to different figs on the pegs, except for TRU (price issues). You're right, the same stuff sits, WM tries to blow it out, Target just removes it and TRU leaves it at the same price for years!

I don't do retail for my ML or anything in my collection anymore, it's all from my LCS. It costs less in the end because I'm not driving to help open the store every day lol. There is a 'scalper' issue here as bad as any other city, I've seen them 'at work' many, many times. So I do what makes sense for me.

Summer is a time for yard sales up here, everyone tries to sell off what they don't want/ need anymore and that's where I see the $5 toys, and any ML's I find are looser than water balloons, and we all know why.
