Pretty sure only TRU Express was the only other "major" retailer to get those.

I think it's funny that some of you are already starting this scalper finger pointing.
If you want to get the toys and win, here's what you do:
Or you could be like me, not give a fuck, and end up stumbling upon a variant clear Wraith at TJ Maxx 2 years after release and buying it for mad cheap. Good things come to those who wait. not to mention, it isn't any less annoying to miss them because army builder, obsessive hoarder, trade baiter or robin hood at price buys them all first rather than a scalper. the effect is the same -- you don't get them and have to find alternative means. it's a fine gesture that board members buy them all up and hook other up with them, but ultimately when they do they just prevented some other local collector from getting them who now has to buy them elsewhere. it doesn't matter whether he makes a profit or not, he is effecting his local collectors the same as a scalper -- preventing them from going to the store and getting it themselves. so to differentiate the scalper from the at price guy is simply asinine when you both "screw over" the other local collectors. I'm not criticizing the trader or at price guy, I'm just pointing out who f'ing stupid and illogical it is to criticize the scalper for doing the same thing as they do -- buying everything they find. until people just start buying one of each and LEAVING the rest at the store for others to buy, nobody can criticize anyone. if you want the toys, and can't find them locally, either pay a little more to get them or you have nothing to complain about. |

I would love to meet local collectors then we could hook each other up and no shipping, but having a local toy shop that grabs everything I do not have time to react, either I buy it or they are going to ebay... Goodnight everyone it was fun while it lasted.

in all the hoopla and whining, what has also been failed to be reported is Ross is also getting in those wonderful attack on the PIT TRU boxsets with Duke, Ripcord and the Mole Pod for $12.99.
