Still whining about scalpers? If you were to resell this figure you'd have to start at $350 just to break even, at which point both the buyer and seller are dumb. I have no sympathy for either side and I don't know why anyone else does.

This "scalper" argument has no weight anymore. Given the current economic situation if you have the money to pay for "scalped" toys you're either doing just fine financially or you have a problem and need to get your act together. Again, either way, no sympathy.

If you knew what you were talking about you would've criticized Mondo for not putting the exclusive Rogue as a Timed Edition as they did with Harley, Gambit and Sabretooth. However, and I'm just spitballin' here, even if Mondo gave you a week to preorder it you'd still complain about missing out and accuse them of helping scalpers.

It's almost like collector's are a bunch of adults in name only who don't understand personal finance and just want to blame someone else for not being able to buy their toys.
