I'm tired of reading multiple threads all addressing the same thing. Sure, it's discouraging not find that said item you're looking for @ retail...but why should a store limit someone's purchases? If they have the money and they find the items I believe they have every right to purchase what they want. You have every right to drive all over town "hunting" the items you want just as these scalpers do. Don't want too, then don't. No one is forcing people to pay those secondary prices. If you don't like the prices, then don't pay them...simple as that.

I will buy one of your yellow Stalkers from you. Just pm your price. |

Awesome looking figure!!! I can't wait to get this guy, especially since I never had him back in the 80's.

If you don't like the prices, then don't pay them...simple as that. well, actually i agree with him. i dont like scalper prices, so i dont buy them. so where does that leave me?... out in the cold. without ANY figures. period. because i dont have the luxury of buying from brick and mortar. folks back home do, but even THEY cant get figures for themselves, let alone do me a huge favore and get some for me (some people have, and for that i am eternally greatful!) so i see exactly where nmitchell86 is coming from. i think 5 beach heads is a little over the top. any honest collector shouldnt realistically need more than 3. (i know there could be extenuating circumstances, like buying one more for a buddy overseas *cough driftbot*) why 3? one for MOC. another for "take it out and play with it!" a third for custom fodder. ;) anyone remember the scene from monty python's HOLY GRAIL? you know, with the holy hand grenade of antioch? "the number thou shalt count is three. no more, no less. thou shalt not count to two, and thou shalt not count to four. FIVE IS RIGHT OUT!" i just wish it was like back in the days. before the times of ebay. when you could walk into a store, see rows and rows of joes on the pegs. so many, its hard to choose which one you wanted that week. now, its like you have to buy one of ALL of them while you have the chance. before that SOB shows up to ruin it for everyone, especially the kids who might have gotten thier first GI Joe that day. sorry if this is off topic, but it really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. with that said... FRIGGIN GREEN STALKER IS OUT ALREADY?!?!!?! GADZOOKS!!!! bittersweet, i tell ya. wish i could join the hunt with you fellas in the states. good luck!!!
