The hot topic of toy scalping comes to mind... These should be no more than 4 dollars at a store near you, but apparently not at a store near me They seem to be popping up in droves everywhere else in the US and on ebay as well and it's really starting to piss me off. Why can everyone else find these except me??? Please help me guys.... for a fellow toy collector, thanks

When I really want something bad, I love the challenge of not being able to find it, but knowing it is out there. Yes I can just buy them off ebay, but that's the cheap way out and I don't feel that it represents the attitude of a true collector... I could also call around first and find out what store has them, but to me, that defeats the purpose. Waiting is half of the fun and there is nothing better than walking into a place and not knowing whether or not they have what you're looking for, and when you round the corner, there it is... Man, that's the most awesome feeling in the world. I love to tease myself like that, when I walk into a place, I go into the section where I think it might be and SLOWLY look at everything, turning the corners very patiently, looking at everything. It's that feeling of being a kid that comes back, and I have figured out how to replicate it within myself when looking for a certain toy, video game, etc. There is nothing like slowly digging through a bin for a certain figure and you finally find it all the way at the bottom, after a half hour of searching. It's truly satisfying.
Call me crazy but this is just me... don't know if any of you guys go through this same bizarre ritual.

If your so into the hunt, then I'm inclined to agree with Johnny. Have aptience and you'll find them just sitting there on a shelf, then the surprise of it all will be even better! Good luck!

Just so you know, I haven't been able to find these myself either. I'm sure they'll be all over the place soon, so don't give up yet. If anybody finds them, please let the forum know.

I personally sent all of the bidders on the Heroes of Cybertron PVC's on ebay this message:
"I hope you know this guy is toy scalping, this item goes for 3.99 at Target. Just lookin out for a fellow Transformer fan"
I have no remorse for some bastitch trying to sell a US PVC for 15.99. That guy doesn't deserve to make his money back, I hope he bought 20 of those and nobody buys them. Looks like it's too late, but you can still save a few people

Depends on the item. Sometimes it takes a month or so for a toyline to reach the west coast when it starts on the east coast, i.e. RiD.Toy distrbution seems to start out west in California and work its way east.
