Blaming a lack of product on some mysterious "scalper" is just speculation without any evidence. Hot Wheels collectors have been known to buy action figures to trade for other stuff they want.
mumdb1, did you bother asking an associate at TRU if they had more stock? It appears they did since figures are on the pegs the day after your last post.
Ya Charles, asked the employee yesterday. "What we have in stock is what's on the floor", same answer as always.
Also, I was only using the term scalper loosely as the figures were spotted at TRU Cary days ago and nobody on this forum claimed to actually purchase any, so was assuming the lurkers here grabbed them all.
