Uhh...it's a perk of the job to deprive the loyal customers out of figures they've been wanting? Real perks of the job are getting paid, the atmosphere to work in, and good customers, not taking variants from kids. And if they want close to $15 for a regular, screw that. I'd hardly pay that much for a variation. No its a perk of the job to get first crack at figures. These are "toys" for kids to be buying and playing with, these are collectibles. |

It's not a perk of the job, it's scalping figures from people who actually pay gas come to the store and buy those figures.

I am now waiting for a Eli Manning figure with a Chargers variant. I know it will happen.
Actually the figure I want most is Larry Fitzgarald. Who do you want from the Draft today?

I read in the most recent edition of "Lee's Toy Review" magazine that Texas WR Roy Williams will be in the NFL Series 10 lineup set for release in October. But who knows, things could change until then. |

What the hell is up with your logic? So you are in support of scalpers? First for Ted Washinton, your a complete idiot, do you even know what scalping is? Im not buying these and re-selling them, i keep them for my collection. Idiot. And for Bauer, SPs are not made to be played with, How many kids do you know what collect SPs? Maybe 2% of people that buy SPs are kids, if its that much. Where the hell did i say anything about scalpers? Your starting to sound like Ted Washington. |

Damn scalpers....think they know everything:-X But c'mon, scalpers are the 40 year old guys that go to TRU with their kids, crack open all the cases, take the chases, tell the clerk they are buying them for their kids so they dont look like idiots, then sell them on ebay for liike 3x the price....I saw a guy do that with wwe classic superstars 3 weeks ago...Its just how they make money.... |

Plenty of kids play buy sports picks. Not everyone who buys toys plays with them.

I know it's obvious, but I hate the people who go and buy all of the chase figures  I just recently registered on the McFarlane.com message board and I see people posting pictures with like four chase figures of each from evey set. That makes me so mad...I've NEVER found a chase...ever...  |
