Yeah that would pretty much be an open and shut case lol. Even though I come from a Lawyer family and family is close friends with the countys judge, I dont think I would be able to get out of that if I hit him. All a judge would see is store surveillance video of a grown man inflicing violence on another over a toy. The court costs could be thousands, you could be ordered to pay medical fees, and possibly do a small stint in jail. No figure is worth that. EXACTLY!!!!!! Like I say its just a piece of over priced plastic lol! I collect because its fun not because its a job. Once I start stressing out about figures then its no longer fun so I gotta put myself in check so the fun isnt taken out of it.

I'm like...20 minutes from Noblesville. I'm glad to know we're getting some new figures near this area.

Your a nice guy, that scumbag scalper's nose should've been dripping all over his figs. I bet he'd wait his turn in line next time. Anyway that Ryder is still sweet. And I'd bet FH101's collecting would take a hit if he had to pay court costs for an assault charge. He did the right thing. right after you hit em on the schnawzer you disappear like Whodini, or do you sit there and watch the guy leak all over the figs? in all seriousness violence is the wrong way to go, i was just saying sometimes instinct takes over. Like what Punk says about respect is actually true on the streets.

Which part is supposed to be the sad part? The part where he was waiting on the figures to come out of the back like you were? Or the part where he dove into the case to snatch figures like you were going to? Or the part where he was alone, but you were with a girl so it's cool?
The saddest part to me is that this is what collecting has come to. You have to loiter in the toy department on stocking days/nights and buy figures right out of the case! They can't even make it to the pegs anymore!
You can blame whatever you want, be it high prices, lack of shelf space, collector-unfriendly case packs (including the ridiculous revision cases), but collecting has become a race against scalpers/scammers, and to me, it's just not worth it anymore.
The end of the Legends line was the end of my collecting days. My only Collection Exception is Bret Hart and any future figures of his will be pre-ordered from RSC immediately (if possible). It will be worth the extra dollars spent to avoid the hassle and disappointment of retail.

Screw that old man! If you were there first, you rightfully have first dibs! You should have said said something or had your girl snag them from him. I would have been pissed.

What an embarrassment that guy is. He called dibs in front of the stock guy. No wonder collectors get such a bad rep.

It will be worth the extra dollars spent to avoid the hassle and disappointment of retail. I'm going to agree on the one point of how much I hate having to figure out which days are truck days and hope that someone wasn't waiting first thing in the morning to get the figures I want. I can't wait at TRU first thing in the morning, sometimes it's the afternoon, evening or even the next day before I can make it up there. I've done the waiting at the door thing, and the waiting for a case to be opened, and it doesn't feel fun, it feels lame. And yet it's the only way to get something at the retail price usually.

Scalpers sounds like scary people. Good thing you got a chance to pick up a figure.

Trust me I hate having to wait on stock nights as they bring stuff out. But in my area if you dont you are for sure never going to find anything your looking for at retail. It sucks big time, there are plenty of things I would rather be doing at 10:30pm at night. I dont wait at Toys R Us in the morning though, I am not a morning person at all lol.

Nice pickup. I know how you feel. I have caught all the scalpers in my area in the act. Most of them are rude people who will lie to you.
