I'm glad the store manger was willing to help, plus it undermines the scalpers. I hate scalpers. Whenever I see a known scalper in my local TRU and they have beaten me to the goods I try to throw them an elbow as I walk by. If I meet them at the isle I blatantly stand in front of them or right up against them, like Will Ferrell in the CowBell skit, while they are looking for figures. I know it's childish but it gets me through the day. They're suprisingly skiddish when you get in their face. You can i.D. a scalper by is outdated clothes, corny bluetooth, greasy hair and standoffish attitude. Collectors I find are very friendly and talkative when I bump into them in the wild.
