I tried to start collecting hot wheels for my son a while back but had a bad experience even with that. I was at a Walmart one day looking at an entire endcap full of hot wheels, as well as in the aisle. As I was looking through the endcap, I felt someone walk up on my right, so i moved to my left, allowing this person to look as well. Now this person is on my left, so i move back to the right. So i stood up and looked at this mid forties 5ft 3in little man starring at me and he says "are you going to hog them all"! I said "you can look here i'll look in the aisle. As I begin to look at the ones in the aisle, I feel this guy starring a hole in me. He then replies " YOUR ABOUT A RUDE PRICK"!!! I'm looking at this man wondering what I did to piss him off. All of the sudden a friend of mine just so happens to be in the store at this time, comes walking around the corner, looks at this little fella and relizes he is talking to me. This guy then SCREAMS, HE'S HOGGING ALL THE HOT WHEELS! Me and my friend look at each other with shock. As this guy is walking away, he lets out another loud scream, I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU IN THE PARKING LOT BUDDY!!! So this little hot wheels incident put a bad taste in my mouth with hot wheels collecting. So now me and my son are sticking to real toys, Gi JOE!!!!
I had a similar incident several years ago (2001, I think) when the He-Man reissues came out. I was looking through a box of them that had just come onto the floor at Wal-Mart when a guy walks up and attempts to take a figure out of the box. I told him I had located it and he could have what was left when I was finished. He got huffy and said, "Why I oughta to kick your ass." I then politely informed him that I carry a knife at all times and would be happy to carve him a new smile. The guy walked away, apparently not accustomed to coming face to face with another bull.
Force must be met with force. It is the only thing that some people understand. Sad but true.
