Scalping is probably going to peak soon. It will be brought about by the dropping disinterest in the line brought about by disheartened fans dealing with paying higher gasoline bills and other increased prices for basic necessities. Even as I type this, I am debating whether or not I want to Army-build anymore for the sake of saving my money for the coming recession and inflation.
Luxuries like 25th GI Joes will become less important as Needs such as gas, food and housing become more expensive in the coming months.
I am not trying to scare anyone, but our National economic outlook is certainly not good right now.
Excellent points. The only thing I would add is the fact that Hasbro as 3875847548 & 1 case revisions set to be released within the next few weeks, meaning that figures that are fetching "scalper prices" will be readily available at retail again, including:
Flint
Fire Fly
Snake Eyes v2 (Hasbro even mentioned that we may see black timber again!)
