In my area I have a store in a mall that I go to. Today I found Basic 30 Miz and D-Bry and Elite 21 AJ. I was wondering if anyone else had stores like this. And if so what do you guys get there?

The stores where I live I dont think are hit by scalpers at all. There have been 2 Basic 30 D-Bry's at Meijer for nearly 2 weeks, I have seen a E21 AJ pop up at Meijer and Walmart and today saw 5 E21 Rybacks at Meijer.

Maybe, but I know for a fact that a few of the people lurking in the figure findings NC thread are local scalpers, one's from the fleamarket. I don't want to divulge anything other than maybe. So yes, but that is it.

Generally areas that are poorly kept / low income areas (I refuse to say "ghetto") have some gems at them. It's just a little nasty/dirty inside. I don't see areas like that scalped too much.

I don't know if scalpers come to my store or if the good ones just sell out fast.

I don't have a problem with WWE. About three months ago I found E14 Rock, Boss Man, and Taker at Sears. At the time they were long gone from all the other stores in my area. Guess nobody was looking there.
I got Transformer scalper(s) in my area. Everyone was so worried about giving out info, we set up an invite only board.

Pretty much all the stores in my area are prone to being scalped. If I find good stuff, I won't even think of scalping. I leave it there if I don't need it and try to hope that someone else who'll appreciate it finds it. Karma seems to be on my side as I usually find what I need. Like, I found honky Tonk man the 1st time I found elite 21. Have seen a lot of that series since but no more honkys, but its cool with me cuz I only needed one.

Occasionally, but for only certain figures. I do my best to hit up the three cities around me once a week. Finding Divas or Elites that come with titles are too friggin' rare, and these are stores that unload boxes at a time.

I didn't know Sears carries figures...going to have to make a stop after work tomorrow! |

There is a Wal-Mart in the boondocks from where I live that I have the most luck at but other then that the Allentown area has a high number of scalpers and if your not at certain Targets and Wal-Marts by 9am you are outta luck. The only local TRU has about 5 of them waiting at the door at opening.

Miz with the US title in December. Good luck! |

Literally all of the stores in my area have a scalper problem, even when I go out of town they're hit pretty bad too. I rely on online retailers, but sadly they always sell out within hours. I f you're not constantly checking the websites, then you're usually out of luck by scalpers that hit them up.
CM Punk would have a problem with scalpers on Ebay, since those are the people he claims are too lazy to get a real job, which I totally agree!! lol

I have found pretty much found every figure in my area with the exception of elite 16 Kevin Nash. No one posts anything in the findings board in my area so I don't know who picks up the good ones

No one really scalps in my area, they just steal titles, shirts, Triple H's, and accessories.

I've never had a problem with scalpers. First come, first serve if you ask me.

Absolutely agree, they aren't doing anything illegal by buying things before I have and reselling them, but at the same time I'm not going to help them. However, when and if these scalpers are the ones doing switches, then I have a problem, and the asshat from the Flea Market has been dumping figures (mostly Elites that I was sick of seeing the first time around) that don't sell from his booth at the Target less than 4 minutes away, ensuring that they don't get more stock. |

Nope. My area gets hit up all the time. I saw on another site someone wakes up at 6am and goes to every place that can possibly hold toys like twice a month. I haven't seen an Elite in years.
