What's this he/she nonsense... Some kinda science fiction? You know, I actually own multiples of all the 25th figures. That way they can be seen in multiple poses at the same time. |

MY GOSH around July i think of last year i remember seeing co-workers working the toy dept. opening many cases of transformers and scalpers & some parents where searching and searching for that bumblebee.

You know, i'm starting to think we throw around the word scalper to easily around here. Who's to say collectors like you and I aren't picking up these figures and not the scalper. I know for sure there are visitors to the site who just read it for the sightings. And guess what happens when there is a wave sighting at a store? EVERYBODY goes hunting! Honestly its just a game of chance, either you get to the joes first or it's fair game for anyone including scalpers. I know they suck, but hey it's part of the circle of life. I just learn to deal with it.

OK, I finally have definitive proof that scalpers exist. I caught one heading to his car from wal-mart. Sorry the pic's a little blurry, I had to use my camera phone.
