Good morning guys! So you all know I also collect Star Wars though my first love is Joes. Last night I hit a few stores and one was Walmart. When I got to the figure aisle I noticed two fresh cases of the Vintage Collection 3.75 SW figures swinging from the pegs. Well, we never had the Emperor's Royal Guard(s) so they had two and of course everyone knows you need 2 so I grabbed them. I scoot down the aisle and was looking at the pile of FANGs and this dude comes around the corner as suddenly yells "WHAT THE F.... OF F-ing COURSE". Well he wanted the guards that I just picked up. He gave me a glare while he was yelling so I just stood there like dude come at me then and he kept cussing and then he took ALL of the WWE figures and threw them on the floor (pegs and all). I just laughed and walked away while he was standing there cussing at me. That was the first time I have ever had anything like this happen to me. These figures I mean they are hard to find in an actual store but easily had online and they aren't going for big bucks on ebay either. I hate to imagine what that would have been like at Target if I had an arm full of Bludds, Hawks and Echos.

Hey, he'd just be redistributing those items to "underserved" areas. Remember, scalpers provide a valuable service. ;) Honestly though, I kinda don't care anymore. Scalpers used to piss me off, but the further I get away from being an "active" collector, the less I care about that stuff. It does suck to live in an area plagued by the fuckers though because you rarely get the thrill of walking down a toy aisle and just happening upon new stuff. It's depressing to always be greeted by empty pegs or the sad unwanted remnants of a wave. The only fix is the long-gone old days when stores got in more than one case of a wave.
