Get over it guys....first come first serve at retail. If you find them and buy them, they are yours to do what you want with. And were saying its bad etiquette as a fellow collector to scoop up figures that you dont intend on keeping and selling for double. It would be better to just not say anything than try and justify scalping here. Thanks

Please guys, don't get all butt hurt because someone else bought the toys you wanted. That is what 6 year old kids do. If you want them you have options. 1) get up in the morning and beat these "scalpers" to the store. 2) Pay scalper prices. 3) Wait like I am planning on doing until they are available at every store.
Just because a store has them at retail doesn't mean you are entitled to them because you want them. Whoever buys them worked hard for their money and is free to do whatever they choose to with their money. If they choose to buy some toys to resell for a profit, so be it.
I just get tired of people complaining about "scalpers" on these boards. There are things you can do to prevent this, but instead all anyone wants to do is complain online about it. Fact of the matter is, if you want the figures that bad, do what you have to do to get them.

I remember the exact same fears with series 1, there will be thousands of these so don't worry, look how easy series 1 is to find, this will be more so.

You can say "get over it" all you want and to stop bitching about scalpers..but honestly, nothing fuels scalpers more than the people that make it impossible to get anything except from them.

Not to be a jerk, and add fuel to the argument...but you're telling me that had you been right behind that guy as he scooped up the entire case just to sell it for 2 or 3 times the amount that you wouldn't be mad? Not even in the slightest? Sure, I understand the argument that he worked and earned the money to do so, but don't we all do just that?
And not for nothing, but at least a collector is buying it for the enjoyment of their hobby, and not just for the pure ability to take advantage of people who either can't find them in stores, or are international collectors and don't have these at all.
idk, just my 2 cents.

Scalpers are terrible they're like the ultimate heels. Everyone is free to buy what and how much they want but what they do is just unfair really.

People will be people I'm no gonna say scaplers, because it not just them buying HoF figures , I remember seeing a kid with his dad and they just casually walked into the aisle and unknowingly the kid picked up a sgt.slaughter off the floor and handed to his dad and the guy said that was his favorite growing up a bought for the kid so you really never know whos gonna buy the figures you just gotta be their first

can we get back to talking about how pumped we are for these figures instead of complaining about scalpers? unless complaining about scalpers makes them go away, then by all means, go right ahead.
I need to get my hands on 2 Yokozunas just so I can make a white/red custom. I hope that Tito's skintone matches the up with Los Matadores so I can make myself an El Matador figure. Please tell me I won't be the only one doing that...

Please tell me I won't be the only one doing that... Hopefully, somewhere down the road, they'll make an official "El Matador" Tito Santana. I mean, it's not like they'd have to make new molds for it or anything like that and now that they have him signed, it's certainly possible. I'm also hoping for a Strike Force Tito & Martel set too

Unfortunately, it seems that this is going to be the only way that I'll get a Repo Man as well

I hope that by complaining about scalpers that they will slowly but surely realize that buying brand new figures from toy stores and selling them for double is lame and scummy.
Dont justify scalping if you're a fellow collector. Thats like a junkie getting someone else hooked and taxing them to pay for their addiction.

Dont justify scalping if you're a fellow collector. Thats like a junkie getting someone else hooked and taxing them to pay for their addiction. I think it's more of the scalpers taking advantage of collectors impatience and the urge to "have it first". I don't care about getting a figure first, especially when it's something that's mass available at retail. Now, with something like an online exclusive or limited edition, that's understandable. Target will eventually have tons of these and everyone will be saying "Damn ! I paid xx amount for one of these, when you could get it for $19 shipped in a few months or weeks. Please, guys, refuse to and DON'T pay these scalper prices !

When you buy Yoko tonight for $60 on ebay I'll be sure to tell you when I get 3 Yokos from target in a few weeks. Patience is a virtue
