So I skipped that one and checked the other Walmart and stock went from 8 to 5 to 1. And I just checked that Walmart and theres nothing.

Really hate the Pensacola area for collecting. Tons of dbags and scalpers around here. One guy on ebay literally lists figures for $70-200. Cyclops is up for $200 on his page. Can't help but wonder if he's involved.

Met a different guy in the Marvel section once about a year ago and chatted about collecting, movies, etc. The Thanos exclusive had been out for months but I'd never seen it and a case actually came into this Walmart a few days before then so I said I finally picked one up a couple days ago. He said he'd let me know if he comes across anything I'm looking for and that he always gives good deals to collectors. I thought the wording was odd so I said "you mean at retail price? I thought you were a collector too." He says "oh no, I resell them but I'll give you a good deal." Then he proceeded to show me pics of his literal warehouse of stuff he resells. Shelves of not just "adult" collectibles but kids stuff too, Hatchimals, etc. He actually lamented about how Walmart was redistributing the Black Panther and Thanos exclusives as he had bought every one of them across 5 Walmarts. I told him you're a douche, have a good day. Never seen him again.

Sorry for the rant lol

I read an article about some of the people who make a living doing this. Living in motel rooms, vans, traveling nomads searching box to box for items that can be scalped. I won’t pay a dime over retail unless it’s from my local shop.
