Don't get me wrong I do want this fig but it's far from perfect. A lot just doesn't look right on it. That's your right. This is America, after all, land of capitalism. Well, I'm in America, at least. |

I hope you're not the guy selling the Shield 3 packs for $90 on eBay (not saying you are, but it's the same pic as your avatar). Also, the guy who was on here selling them MOC for $100 was absolutely vilified and chased away, but since you all like the guy (or are trying to suck up for free figures) selling the loose one for $400, it's OK? I don't think there has been confirmation about the figure one way or another, but last time I remember reading a thread, the figure promotion was pushed to Spring 2014? The difference is that guy was not only shady (his story didn't really make sense), but he had no reputation. Five Knuckle Shuffle has been around for quite some time, sold thousands and thousands of figures, and still has nearly a perfect record. Not only that, but he didn't come on here to try to goad people into buying it off him. And, as for free figures, we're talking about the dudes livelyhood here; I doubt he's give it away for free. That'd be like going to the manager at Walmart, saying, "Hey, I don't think you're a bad guy," and expecting him to give you a gallon of free milk. The story of him having a receipt from the store he bought all of them from? Not sure what "holes" were in his story beyond him actually have a full MOC case of figures. Again, you're completely ignoring my point, which was: 1st guy sells for $100 - scum! Second guy sells for $400 (sorry, on sale for $350) - salt of the earth! And yes, in multiple other threads where members have questioned this sellers tactics, those who have defended him were given free figures (as posted by 5ks himself in those threads). It seems at times like a surge of members will come in and defend him in the hopes of a handout. |

That's your right. This is America, after all, land of capitalism. Well, I'm in America, at least. Why the sad face? I just gave you my blessing. |

There are some people on the board that have some weird logic leap where the existence of capitalism = nobody is allowed to say anything bad about scalpers. See previous statement. Anyway, if what you're saying is true, I'm confused; how can you defend American capitalism without defending free speech? |

I would almost be the farm that they are saving this mail away for wrestlemania season. With it being Wrestlemania 30 I am sure Toys R Us is planning a big display or promotion and it probably just got delayed until Wrestlemania season. It makes sense to me to have someone like Mankind be a promotion to celebrate Wrestlemania since its a pretty big name. Just my 2 cents though.

He's selling something that hasn't been in stores for years. Of course it is gonna cost more than it would then, supply and demand. Plus Tyson came back to tv recently so that's another reason for a price hike. |

"Not too long ago" That's not true. The cheapest I saw it go in the last few months is like $35 Buy It Now with like $16 shipping. When realistically it costs about $3.50 to send one figure. |

As a member of the brethren I think scalping is taboo. Some have done it. I refuse to. At the end of the day though to each there own. |

There are only 12 out there that are legit, 400$ is fair. Plus it's on sale for 350 right now. My point was, when the original guy had them and was selling them MOC for $100, people ran him out of the thread with insults about how he was scum and raking people over the coals with his pricing. I have no problem with anybody selling something for whatever they want. If there is someone dumb enough to pay a certain price, then great for the seller. Scalper talk as a whole is kind of silly, as there wouldn't be scalpers if there weren't people willing to pay whatever it takes to have that next great item. I wish I could frame this...it was that bat4life guy or whatever that people CRUCIFIED and RIPPED APART over selling a figure that now EVERYBODY wants and could've gotten for 100 dollars as opposed to 359.99. But since people don't understand supply/demand, they just go off on tangents and rants on these boards for no reason. Let people be dumb, why do people always have to justify everything? It's not your money, so why do SOOOOO MANY people care and act like it is? |

People defending a scalper for handouts... Pathetic. "If you had the figure, you would sell it for just as much" No, because I wouldn't sell it, I don't buy figures to make a quick buck at the expense of my friends/collectors. Scalping is lame.
I really hope this figure has not been cancelled, I'm looking forward to adding it the collection.

Some of us here actually like him and buy from him a lot. |
