The Warpath wave was poorly distributed with a limited production from what I recall hearing. In the last few months I've literally bought 6 sets up here to help out tankers and a few guys over at marvelousnews. Now and then i see a wild Sunfire..but I leave him on the pegs for someone else.

I got one AA in a case I ordered (Also came with a long hair soldier) I got one for my son in a trade, and found one for my buddy at Fred Meyer and gave it to him at cost. That was also the same day I found Modern Havok for the first time and a Sunfire. I got all three for my friend at cost.

Anyone have any extra Jean Grey's or Warpaths? I have Bullseye and Vision loose, and some IM2 figures.

Back when my buddy had his first child, he was short on money one week so I paid for the formula and a pack of diapers to help him. Never asked or expected a payback and a few weeks ago I got a full set of IM Drones from him.

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. |

Missed connections: Attention action figure collectors! I admire your dedication to collecting and I hope you aren't selling all those AA's on ebay for a profit, could you please leave at least one Thanos on the pegs for me when that wave hits!! I am tired of driving all over town looking for that "one" figure in every wave that you seem to pick up once it's released. Thanks, RC ps...if you're a scalper, I'll stab your wheels and put sugar in your gas tank!!! kthnxbai! |

I've never seen drones in the wild either. I know there are a lot of scalpers and collectors in my area. The scalpers typically work in cahoots with some of the comic and toy shops. I work 2 jobs, 1 full-time and one on weekends, and go to school full-time. I have a disabled wife and two children and am a Scoutmaster. I don't have time to compete with people that are there everyday when the store opens.
The best I do is at the one walmart I typically go to, I get there when they put freight out at night sometimes. This is why the whole buying every figure on the shelf and redistributing them at stores farther away seem like a good prospect. But I would feel like a D-Bag for doing it so I'm patient instead. There is not one single fig (with the exception of havok and AA variants) that I have not seen in the wild at some point. I do have a friend that checks his target and I have a friend that I trade with who owns a toy shop 40 miles away from me. So I do okay getting two sets of the line (one for me and one for my son) and getting occasional stuff for trade or for friends. |

I missed this post earlier. I might shoot you a PM of the stuff I'm looking for, unless you have it all listed in a B/S/T thread. Thanks, for the help!
