Rad...mine has rows of E31-33 that have remained untouched. I want these figures and have to pay for them on the secondary market...seems like a broken distribution system. It'd be great to buy these online... I hear ya man. EBay is so ridiculous right now with these prices. I'd be fine paying between 30 and 40 for Hogan and Yoko after shipping and all, but these scalpers are being straight up A-holes. Seriously, somebody has a Hogan for 100 bucks. That's just absurd. I understand wanting to make a profit, but that's just disgusting I saw that Hogan for 100. I sent dude a message telling him I hope no one ever buys it. Is it any of my business? No. But that's a d*ck move.

For some ungodly reason, Mattel insists on giving Target and TRU exclusive figures. Like I've said countless times before: Mattel should distribute their exclusive figures through Amazon Prime.

Then that will become Amazon's exclusive and if it sells out like Debut Mankind, it will also be hard to get so I don't see your logic of just giving Amazon the ability to sell exclusives. All stores wants exclusives with Mattel and it's going to keep happening. RSC, Target, Walmart, Kmart, ETC. Just because you can't find them, doesn't mean someone else can't...

I just wish that you could at least preorder them online like you can with some of TRU or Amazons exclusive items.
Then again, I know I shouldn't complain since you guys outside the US don't have any other options besides ebay (or a kind member on here)

The reason I'd prefer Amazon to anywhere else online (except RSC ) is that everyone has an open shot at getting them. Stores like Walmart, Target, and TRU don't keep their online store stocked (as far as figure collectors are concerned. Amazon would be the lesser of all evils.

I went into target that showed up them having 16 and I get there and there's 1 Tito and 3 warriors so where's the other 12? I ask the employee and she just says they're all out and I explain to her that they arent and she just shruggs her shoulders so I buy Tito and go to guest services and they scan the box and say well this doesn't exist lol and I'm like I just bought this and I show them that the tracker now shows 15 so where would the rest and the guy just said they're all out on the floor

I have a feeling this set is going to clog shelves for awhile. Yoko may sell well.

It should never be easy or convenient when buying things online, not when assclowns can go to Target and buy out their stock as soon as it hits the shelves.

Being at Target @8am when an if they have those figures requires much more effort and luck than "clickity-click"

Being at Target @8am when an if they have those figures requires much more effort and luck than "clickity-click" There are safeguards against that. It's easier for a store like Amazon to put a max of three per account. Nothing's stopping people from going to the store and putting several freshly unboxed figures in their cart. For people who either don't have certain stores near them or have had their stores bought out by scalpers, buying online at a decent rate would be a dream come true.

There are problems with both situations... Scalpers will find a way to scalp no matter if it's in store or online. They can't stop general public from buying product and reselling it for profit. The only way to really stop that is if eBay and all other online selling/payment outlets were eliminated lol

Another possibility is that someone else picked them up and was still shopping in the store (not everyone runs straight to the toy section and checks out right away). Also, the tracker is pretty accurate, but I've seen it be off before and take up to a couple hours to update when I buy some from my store (other times it updates right away).

Scalping will always be an issue, but making your product available online is a must. It's a joke that their online stores aren't better in 2015. I can't be the only person who has given up the hunt looking for figures due to scalping...

My areas disti is fantastic, and we have so many locations of every store that the scalpers can't get to em all. I hunt hard enough to find what I need, whether calling, or visiting locations. I get it, screw scalpers! im with ya there. If I experienced what someone of you have, id probably be upset too. It's just out of our hands. Maybe they don't produce enough to justify online sales, idk what the reason is, but for now, they're in store only and you gotta just keep at it til you get what you want

Dammit man, tracker told me 8, so I got pumped for maybe at least finding Tito, but I get there and they re-stocked series one. Only second time seeing Slaughter besides the one I bought though.
