Can't speak for everyone, but for my own area I have joined up with a few other local collectors to form a hunt group. When one of us sees a new case, we pretty much buy the whole thing and then divide up between us. It might look like a scalper or something at the time, but it's really just one person buying for multiple collectors. It's really sad and frustrating that that's what we've had to resort to in order to each get one. I just don't understand why Hasbro thought it was a good idea to put these out as WM exclusives. They're just about my favourite figures of the year, plus they're troop builders. I hope WM paid a hefty price for them at least.

We do the same in a group of guys in my area also. If they’re out you buy them all up and divide them, at cost. Usually the guy who finds them gets a rounded number to help for his time.

I don't understand how you think that's helping anyone. People still can't get the figures who aren't in your collector group so you're really no different from a scalper to be honest. You're just creating more unnecessary competition for everyone else.

Lmao

And if you buy more than one how are you helping them then. Him buying 6 for him and 5 people is literally no different than 6 people buying one each. Your argument makes literally no sense.

My God the bitter shade being thrown on this site right now over these toys. But with that being said I'll leave this right here. Hypocrite...

So it's OK when you find and take 4 home and your not "scalping" . But when 1 guy takes them all like StarWarsTF and gives everyone 1 each at cost he's the bad guy now. Sorry but this is literally insane.

LOL sixshot1981 makes a pretty good point there, Zeroflamez.

Thank you so much!

This is the exact reason why we DO buy for our friends on these. I have personally witnessed a scalper hovering in the aisles when I picked these up one time. (I know he was one because he approached me afterwards and we had a short conversation - he was very nonchalant about the fact that he scalps things online, he looks at it as a business). If I hadn't grabbed all the ones we needed right away, all my friends would have been screwed and had to buy on kijiji or something from that exact scalper.

Is this the way it should be? No way. It's about the most sad and frustrating experience I've had in over 10 years of hardcore Star Wars collecting, and it's honestly gotten me thinking about whether or not I want to continue to support these stupid business practices.

Sometimes I can't really trust some who say they are doing it to help others out, when you find out they are really scalpers.
