Oh man, don't get me started on the local Scapler scene in the Valley here. I've seen so many of those guys over the years.
Headphones, as we call him, has been at it for as long as I can remember. He doesn't have a car and rides the bus all over the Valley. I've seen him running across a Target parking lot just to make it to his next stop in time to grab just about everything he can carry. His nappy hair, gray Members Only jacket, and of course his headphones, makes him a true stand-out in a crowd.
Dirty Sanchez hides out in Los Feliz and frequents that TRU over there. He does have a booth at F&S and is a tough one get around. He doesn't see toys, all he sees are dollar $igns.
The guy in the overalls we call Plumber Bob. He's a big Hotwheels collector who has told his story of his 6 storage units full of his "collection." He's a bit more talkative than most, and has slowed down on the scalping recently, but he's always fun to chat up every once in a while.
Then there's Peg-leg Pete. He usually makes the midnight runs to the Panorama City WM and looks for Hotwheels, Cars, SW, DC, etc...You can tell him by the slight limp that he's got.
Anyway, I think I've taken a few pics over the years of some of these guys in action. There's always been talk of creating sort of a Rogue's Gallery of these guys, but it never came to pass. Too funny!
