this is exactly the type of comments i was referring to in antoher thread regarding some members here taking thier frustrations out on others. where's the sense in brotherhood and community when your chasitising those forutnate enough to find what they want and/or how many they want. i could go on and on but these type of comments speak for themself in my opinion.

i understand your frustration, believe me. it's taken me a long time to get what i have and frankly spent way more than sticker price when you factor in gas, etc. i'm not personally mad or upset.
whats unfortunate about your statement (and you are certainly not the only one to have made similar statements) is your generalizing, lumping everyone and anyone who buys multiples as contributing to your woes. i don't care that you don't see a reason to buy multiples just as you don't care why i do. i do respect that for whatever reason you choose not to. i don't lump all those people who only buy 1, keep them moc, open them up, or whatever into categories and denegrate them. everyone here is has thier own love for gi joe and very different ways of collecting. i'm always saddened to read people slamming others for simply not understanding others desires/motives. unfortunately i see this happening more and more often. if supply was not an issue, scalpers would be a non issue. people are less apt to hunt these for resale if you can find them in any large amount easily. instead, we commonly find limited stock and even more infrequent limited restock. for example, i've only seen 2 sets of wave 6 in all of my retail searches and those were not even full sets. were talking 6 retail stores in a small geographic area. some have not seen them at all.

I'm sorry, but just because customizing isn't a hobby of yours doesn't mean you need to bash people that do like it. If someone wants to make a figure out of 3 or 4 others and buys the figures legally then what's the harm? This all relates to bad distribution/output of figures. If the stores were getting 5-10 cases of figures in each shipment instead of just 1 or 2 we wouldn't be having this discussion on here at all.

the points been made... lets not rake him over the fires. afterall, many others are doing this type of thing across a range of subjects. lets address this behavior as a broader issue vs. singling people out.
