well all i know is iam glad i dont collect elites........but lets say i did. i promise u i would had gotten my figure out of his cart! unlike the rest of u fellas here, i travel like the nWo when going out figure hunting to avoid crap like this! so, if dude man did told me $40 a pop. my big bro would punk him, while i take what i need. No... you wouldn't. Especially talking like a moron, like that. People don't just leave their carts unattended. So you can all get your panties out of the bunch that they're in, open those wallets and get ready to pay out the ass... or, ya know... wait until Toys R Us gets in another shipment. I got everything I wanted yesterday, so I'm a happy camper. - Triple S

Well, at least the dude bought a lot so they'll be replenished.
Also, no scalper is as bad as the Warrior. As long as he can't get out of the basement, I think we'll be safe.

They won't replenish the display with Elite 9 because TRU doesn't have Elite 9 at their warehouses yet. At least not at my area. They just started getting Elite Series 8. The displays came directly from Mattel and I doubt that Mattel will send them any refreshers directly. TRU will more than likely do like my store did with the Green Lantern figures display which was refill it with the product they got from the warehouse...or they'll remove the display once it's empty.

I would have just taken them from his cart and ran off.
He can go whine to the manager or something but i would have left by then.
Haha

To those that say they'd have taken it out of his cart... what's different in doing that then in just going to Walmart, hijacking the truck, and giving the driver the cash for what Walmart would have paid for the merch? I'm guessing you'd still see jailtime..
On the flip side, though, the guy was a dick. He could have just helped you out.... but then, with the bad trader tag.. maybe it's karma..

I don't have a Chumlee problem in my area. Although I think some prey on the single packed figures. Do you think stores need a limit on buying multiples of the same figures. It's kind of an annoyance but some stores just don't order or reorder enough product. Who knows how long it will take for TRU to restock the figures taken by the scalper. So you offered that guy $25 each for the right to buy them? You still had to pay the $16.99 at the register?

Exactly. My TRU put out the display last Monday and by the time I stopped by yesterday it was filled with Legends 3 and the few Elite 8 they must have just gotten in.

He can't tell them "hey, our store feels everyone who wants Elite 9 should have it so you've gotta hand over one of those figures." So long as the dude is paying, they've got a lot more on their plate.

Not sure but maybe the manager could have tossed the guy for trying to scalp it in the store. Seeing he did offer it for $40 and TRU wouldn't want that going on in their stores. Of course it would be his word against the other persons. I know way back in the day when I was a manager at BK (mid 80's) there was a McDonalds a little ways down the street and some kids would buy Mcdonalds and try and eat it with their friends in our restaurant and I was told by corporate to toss them out because they didn't want McD's promoted in our restaurant...because that looked bad on us. Maybe TRU would feel the same way about scalping in their aisles.

There are a few scalpers in my area.I know them all by name.I did not even bother getting up early to go to tru because i knew they would beat me and get all the good figures first.
There have been a few times that i paid there marked up prices just to get a figure.The most i have ever paid was $8.00 over retail price.

Honestly if the guy wasn't looking i prob woulda grabbed one out of his cart. Either that or i woulda told him to go himself. I'm not usually a dick to people but that really woulda pissed me off. I would go out of my way to help a kid or someone in a store if i know they want something. I prob. would even give them something i have in my hand if they want it since i am able to go to 2 or 3 different TRU and they prob. don't have that luxury. You're scared of asking out a girl, but you have the balls to steal something from someone and curse them off? ... yeah, okay. - Triple S Like Hero said i wasn't scared to ask a girl out i didn't know how to do it. THere is a difference. Who said i wouldn't of taken it out of his cart if he wasn't looking? I forgot you know me so well. Get real. I love how you are a dick to everyone in this thread.

Well, in a bit of interesting news, I actually have an extra Elite 9 Ryder to part with. I had picked one up for a friend of mine last week, and he just let me know that he's not going to have the money for it for. So, first person whose interested, it's yours. I don't want anymore than what I paid for it at TRU
I also have an extra Eve, same deal, what I paid at TRU.
PM me if you're interested.

anyone who said they'd steal it from his cart are just as bad as him. he got their first so those figures are his fair and square. in fact i'd rather live in a town where scalpers pick displays rather then where people just boost stuff from my cart. scumbags.
