myself saying that as i was refering to some seller that would completely Rob or take advantage of someone due to the fact they want item that bad. i hope that me saying Rob or Robbing someone doesn't get anyone offended next.

Its not about being "politically correct" as rape isn't a political issue. You can call it price gouging, you can call it scalping, call it whatever where the definitions fit. But rape is not something where someone has a choice. You have a choice in buying these figures.

Its not that rape is offending people, its how you're throwing the word around in ways that don't match the word's definition.

Now, you can say "why does it matter on a toy forum" but isn't it really about why should I have to 1) read about rape on a toy forum or 2) correct someone about it who's been told by others more than once. You're the one being rude here. If your 10 year old son came on this forum looking for a spiderman figure and he came to you and said "dad, what's rape?" you'd be miffed that he saw that word on "a toy forum" right?

People should be more conscious of what they say on a toy forum, not less.

Now enough mini-modding everyone. Move on and get back to the figures.

As I've said more than once in the last few pages, just watch this site in the days after SDCC or better yet, watch TFW2005. They will post within seconds when the exclusives go up on hasbrotoyshop.com and the Marvel ones last a few hours if not all day (compared to the Star Wars/Magic the Gathering/Transformers which last minutes or maybe an hour.

If you're that concerned about getting the SDCC exclusives at a fair price just watch the boards in the days after. It's not hard.
