I dont care what the price its listed for, but I would be ticked off if it was listed for $20 and it was posted. People who collect check all the proper websites and will find what they want. But when its posted on here you are not only sharing it with fellow collectors. you are sharing it with EVERYONE! People who dont even post on the board see it including scalpers who will then snag as many as they can to turn for a profit.
Keep it to yourself people!

Youre paying over 3x the price for a figure that will be out in a month or two, not even out of production....why? Let me clarify a couple of things... - In a couple of months, I am getting married. I'm not going to be able to spend as much as I usually do on any sort of collectibles, at least for a while. Not only that, but I'm not going to have so much space anymore (obviously), with us sharing a place. This was what you would call a "last big score" for the time being. - I used gift cards I saved up specifically for purchasing this figure. I'd rather get it while I can, considering my upcoming life situation. I'm sorry. I was trying to help with this thread, but I obviously underestimated the demand. This makes absolutely no sense. Do you even see your logic here? You're going to pay $50 more than you should for a figure *now* because you won't have money to spend on figures *later*? Just put $20 of that $70 you have aside and then you'll have $50 left over for more figures or married stuff. Plus, when I walk into Walmart and see pegs of these figures I'm going to be laughing at these third seller prices.

Figure looks like booty with that tiny ass torso they gave him

I don't agree, if someone didn't share the Paul Bearer set yesterday, I would've had to waste gas, wait on retail to deliver, and compete with the local ebay guy. I get the paranoia over resellers, but those hustlers are gonna get their stuff just as fast with or without this board. I think sharing makes the community better, imo.

I find it funny when people can't find something at retail the automatic response is scalpers bought them all. I get that it may be the case sometimes but we all also have to realize that you/we are not the only people who collect figures. You and the scalpers are not the only people who shop at the stores you are hitting. There may be 20 people in your neighborhood alone that collect and maybe they have more free time to hunt than you do. Idk. Just a thought. Nobody cares. Carry on.

There may be 20 people in your neighborhood alone that collect and maybe they have more free time to hunt than you do. Idk. Just a thought. Nobody cares. Carry on. I think it all depends on the area. My Target sucks since it's the only one here locally and thus other collectors/scalpers will be on high alert. Same with ToysRUs. There's at least 4 Walmarts around here, maybe more where I see plenty of sought after figures thanks to how many stores there are that carry the same thing. For instance my local Wally World had the entire B57 set, E39, and others. I don't automatically scream scalper because there's others who want a figure too or buy two either to have one loose and one MOC or to save for a trade or what have you. Granted people should be smarter than spend more than retail on a figure that'll see a wide release. Balor isn't a limited edition as far as I'm aware, so there'll be plenty enough for the price online to drop. As of this posting he's $40 from what I've seen. Shouldn't be much longer.

I'm glad I have 0 interest in owning this figure.
