I waited for Smyths to stock him in roughly February - March because getting figures in the UK is like playing in the Scottish Premiership and thus there is no need to pre-order

I'll just grab one of the 50 or so my local smyths has, or if by some fluke they don't, I'll drive the 15 miles to the next one and hopefully grab one of the 50 or so that Smyths has |

I'll drive around to fifteen stores in a fifty mile radius and find the one case apiece that only three of them ordered and see where the scalper sat up at opening to grab the desirable ones and put them at his flea market booth for a ten dollar markup, thus rendering his driving and wasted gas to be worthless and garnering no profit. Life in the rural South. Flea market dudes with no common sense that make no money at all doing this but still manage to ruin it for everyone. |

See we don't have that problem, we have loads of stores locally especially in the south east of England. So called scalpers only profit here if they buy and put away til that series disappears, then of course the price goes up. I don't mind a little entrepreneurship |

Alright.... My e41 demon Balor preorder story
I weasel into the forum in my web browser at my desk with two work related tabs pulled up between it. When my boss walks by I click on the stark market tab.
I got my wallet out. I snuck my card out.
I clicked the banner. I hurried my card information in. I hit submit. I was an e41 paint Balor owner before I even knew it.
I am actually celebrating tonight by booking him to win the rumble on 2k16

How this thread is still open is beyond me. It's full of sarcastic replies, that clearly indicate that nobody is taking this seriously. |

If you make a stupid thread, you should expect some sarcastic replies. This is one of those threads. Which is why these are epic, and saved only for the most anticipated figures that go up on preorder. Like the Nash RSC exclusive figure? Which I have seen much more fanfare for? |

I don't mind a little entrepreneurship Yeah, it's not illegal nor does it bug me too much, I was really venting about three or four guys in the area who ruin it. Scalpers likely don't hurt big cities, but Winston-Salem, where I'm from, is such a small town. Downtown is only a handful of blocks surrounded by forest. We're a tobacco town in a day and and age where tobacco is beginning to shrink. These handful of guys ALWAYS get everything. In don't have time to go every time TRU or Target possibly gets a truck. |

That definitely sucks! I take for granted that every retail release figure is available to us in abundance |
