No worries man! If there is anything else you are looking for let me know...we get stuff so late up here that by the time the novelty of "must have it" wears off down in the lower 48 it gets put up on the shelves up here! LOL

I've never met the guys in person, as they get to the stores when the stores open and I have to be at work at 6:15 am M-F. I've heard stories from the employees at the stores about them though. Apparently they are rude and obnoxious from what they say. Frankly, I'm not surprised.

They are mostly Hot Wheels scalpers who made a side-living off of Joes and SW for a few years. When ROTS came out, one of them was beaten unconscious for pushing and shoving to get exclusives and he stole from a child.
About a year ago in the winter I was outside a Target waiting for it to open and they were next to me talking about that day. We had all known each other well at this point and I point blank said if I was at that particular store and saw it I would have cut the guys b-lls off for my exclusive. They have steered clear of me and/or SW and Joe mostly since.

Sun Tzu is not just for military strategists.
Its for dealing with inbred idiots who are scared easily.

Like I said figs currently in production I trade and sell for cost plus shipping to help people out. If I found an AA today in the wild I would sell or trade it at cost plus shipping for something I needed that was cost plus shipping. I avoid paying over retail for anything. The only figs I've purchased above retail were some customs (but labor costs money too) and the AA and Havok Variants. I didn't know some of the older figs in this line (which aren't that old) that were going for so much already. Why is the Jean Grey wave so high?? I don't collect toys for their value. I only own maybe 7 MIB/MOC toys out of hundreds. I always thought the point of having a toy was to have fun with it. Hence why I opened my X-force AA. FREE THE PLASTIC! |

I know there has got to be atleast one maybe two other collectors up here in regards to MU...I'm just not going to get up early enough to meet them at the door of Target or where ever! LOL
One of the employees at TRU told me that there is a dude who is religiously there at open waiting for the MU stuff to come out. The employee collects them but he isn't allowed to put stuff away and the customers have to have first dibs. He still hasn't been able to get AA. |
