Well I was on my way home from picking up some icecream for my family tonight , so I was by one of the Walmarts i didn't get to check today so I stopped before I got the Icecream to see if I could find the 3 wave 7 I don't have yet. I go down the isle and I see a guy with a cart and he had at least 2 of each wave 7 in the cart. I said "Hey they got some Wave 7 in stock!" his reply to me is "They did have some in stock , Now Ebay has more in stock" And then he tells me I can buy them from him outside. I told him I'll check back later, he said don't bother his buddy works there and he tells him when they come in. How can you compete with that?

That kinda sucks. There is not much you can do except try a different Wal Mart, or wait for them to be a little more common, and then you should find them there. If he has a friend helping him at Wal Mart get his figures, don't sweat it. At least you are an honest and hard working collector who does this for himself and his children, i think i remember you saying you had kids. Don't worry about him and keep looking. You will find them soon enough, without having to resort to ebay prices...

What a dip ! EDIT* How can you compete with that ? Simple, keep refusing to buy from scalpers. They choke on their own stock and end up having to dump it and wish they never even bothered...so don't buy from them !...

We have employees doing that here in Springfield. When told, the manager just shrugs it off. He says there is nothing he can do so i just leave it at that. It happens at Wal Mart, Target and TRU. Once at Wal Mart i was told by the Toy Manager, "we just had some in but the employees that stock them held them for their friends and for themselves too, try back later"...

Funny you post this today. I also had a run in tonight with a scalper. Last week Around the same time, I found a case of wave 7 on a palette and was able to score some. The walmart here only gets 1 case (8 figs) and because I collect 2 of each(1 to display, 1 to open display) I decided to check out walmart again tonight. I get there and there is a family raiding the pallette. Picture this dad and 12 year old son digging and mom giving orders with an infant in the cart. They're grabbing all the star wars cases and I noticed a case of joes just like last week. As they stepped to their cart, I heard the mom say get the GIJoes. As I see them turn around to get it I pick up the box. The son rudely says HEY. Now, I'm a 6'3 250lb wrestler and this kid was the size of my leg. I just smiled and walked over to the guy stocking and said is it cool if you open this for me and he did much to the families dissapointment. I guess because he then saw that the family had multiple cases in their cart, he said that they can't take those cases and open them, he has to open them and put them on the rack. Just to be an a$$hole(I hate scalpers, ecspecially when its a family of rude trash) I took one of the SW crimson empire 2 packs that they were trying to grab all of. It looked cool and I can probably make a cool custom from them. So screw that family and the guy who said that to you. Scored 1 for the good guys. Hope that makes you feel better.
