Helix can warm.... oh... wrong thread.. ;)
I think Sharky is partly right. The economy forces people to be tighter with their money so if someone was willing to pay 20 bucks for something before, they may not be as willing to pay the 20 bucks for it now and will simply go without. Also, because of the movie tie-in the retailers are ordering more of the product. It's got more to do with the movie then anything else, once the movie has gone and the holidays have come and gone, you'll see the stores ordering less. Unless RoC is still a huge seller by then. But as more time passes, the racks won't be as filled. Hopefully they won't shrink to what the 25th had (which wasn't much). The less on the shelves, the easier it is for the scalpers to survive. So let's hope when the shrink happens, and it will, it won't be that bad.

I was really surprised/happy with my Walmart. I went Wednesday and they'd moved the action figure isle over one. Think they had RC cars or something in the old action figure isle, didn't really notice. But i seen ROC in the action figure isle. And they still had the endcap or something with all the ROC. It was hard just trying to look through em all to see what they had. Tried moving some over little and they kept dropping off their pegs. But did finally get Shipwreck and PP Baroness. They had PP Snake Eyes with gray Timber, and CC without holes, probably pick em both of those just to have one to open. Looking forward to going back now to get another look at all the ROC, Star Wars etc figures. They even had Toy Story figures, but think the Buzz wasn't the 3 3/4th as they got on Matteycollector.com he had his wings that could pop out. And yeah i've yet to see anyone that looked like a scalper, buying up figures etc, mainly just seen younger kids.

As far as Legos go there was this guy who got in trouble for making fake barcodes and then sticking them on high priced Lego sets. He would buy Millenium Falcons for like $10 each. Try to look up the news story. It's posted online as well as on here in a few threads.
