This isn't what "figure-hunting" is supposed to be. Many of us work full-time & can't wait around one store for four hours until they finally decide to take some boxes off a pallet (and MAYBE the product that you want is there). It's hard enough to make it in to the various stores at all - especially since you often need to visit several just to find any product stocked at all. None of what the OP wrote sounds "fun"...... it sounds like a lot of hassle..... I miss the excitement of walking into a retail store & seeing what's on the shelf today! Yeah, I also work full-time too. Ever heard of a day off? I was off Tuesday and had no other errands to take care of other than house cleaning... so I had time to kill. You do realize people other than fat, smelly scalpers are determined to get certain figures, right? I no longer have to waste my gas and time going from store to store. It’s in my collection, I didn’t pay $120 for it. That’s all that matters to me.

Who remembers the thread from the old forums about the kid who ran into Owen Hart’s widow and she told him that she just signed some deal with wwe for them to make a “doll” of Owen? I remember laughing at every response for about a week.

We have different opinions about distribution of these "mass produced" figures - why do you have to turn it personal?

Oh, let’s not act like the comment of “some of us work full-time and can’t hang around a store for 4 hours” wasn’t directed at me. You’ve gotta be kidding me. How do I not take the comment clearly directed at me, as “personal”? Hahaha And where did I insult anyone? I pointed out that days off are obviously a thing. Even for us that work full-time. Nobody is working 24/7.

ChicagoLock this up, please. I should’ve known better than to post something crazy that happened to me getting a sought after figure, without white knights popping up and people getting jealous. Not worth getting a warning bar, simply by defending myself. Thanks.

This thread is a joke, its full of made up bs, the usual crap about the non existent scalpers, all the bitching and crying becuase someone beat you to it is a joke, its embarrassing.
