... but I love having good friends ! My buddy Joe Delta and his awesome other half, were looking out for me today. They stopped in a Wal-Mart that's about 45 minutes from my house to get a few things and knew that I was looking for these ! My local Wal-Mart got in one case, but a scalper purchased the entire thing, before it even hit the floor ... none on order atm. Oh, I picked up that awesome Ultimate Warrior coozie from FYE, earlier in the day. Huge thanks guys !

If they don't make a Bayley "Can Hugger" then I'll have lost all faith in WWE.
Oh yeah, cool gots.

How do you know the person was a scalper? Could have been a collector!

I hate scalpers as well, but they're a necessary evil for me. I had to pay about $80 for that Savage, but that was my only option since it won't Canada doesn't get the Elite Then Now Forever line.

I'm sure there are people here who would buy one for you. You could check their refs and pay them first

Just another reason why I HATE Walmart. These figures are exclusives to Walmart, yet they are NEVER available on their website.

The term scalpers is one of my pet hates. Could it not just be that people bought the newest releases figures before you because they wanted them? You guys retail over there is shocking at best, so just because the figures aren't there I'm not sure you can blame these so called scalpers. Really love Earthquake and Typhoon, they look sweet!

No it is scalpers. I went to my local Target a week ago looking for the HoF 2-Packs and when I got there and gave the employee the DPCI # for them he asked me if it was a wrestling item, because some lady had just come and purchased the whole case. When he described the woman it sounded just like the woman who owns T0y W1z a few hours later I checked their site and there was the 2-packs for double and triple the price. Same thing with the WalMart Then, Now and Forever series 2 and 3-Packs. So yeah scalpers are purchasing them. They pay people to go around purchasing all the hot product form stores within he tristate area to sell on their site.

Having just looked on their site, I would say they have far too much inventory to be a 'scalper'. Their store is MASSIVE! And nobody ever refers to Ringside as 'scalpers'. They charge more than retail too.

Well, when you ask the employee and they specifically tell you after an inderstanding *sigghhh* that 'We had a guy come in here and buy the entire box, before we could even put it out on the floor' , then yea bro, it's scalpers. I live in a small town, not many people collect wrestling figures here, so only having 2 Walmarts that I'm able to get figures from at retail, it's fairly obvious. I bet if it were an Ultimate Warrior figure, you would agree .

Like I said, retail in the US is awful, I've bought friends figures before, I bought 5 Bayley's last week, 1 for loose, 1 for MOC, 1 for my daughter to play, and 2 for friends who wanted one. Not a scalper just helping out. Maybe they were too Honestly not trying to argue with anyone here, it's just my opinion on that term. Maybe I am wrong. Who knows.

I'm definitely not arguing either, but I do know that this dude is a scalper, because he does the same thing at our other Walmart across town. They know that I just buy one of what I want and leave the rest, so they gladly offer to help me, but this guy is one of those people that have no friends and simple just goes around doing this for profit. The employees know who he is, but if it's on the mods and in stock then they have to sell it to him, they actually dont like the guy at all, because he actually makes their job harder.
