It's like they're stalking for action figures 24/7 either in person or with automated online bot accounts to snatch up everything in sight.
For most of us normal collectors who have lives, it's even more frustrating that we can't even get a little enjoyment through our action figure hobby during this COVID-19 pandemic because we can't find anything as a result of these greedy asshats.
Sorry for venting. lol

Greed in general fuels the collecting industry. Scalpers are frustrating I agree. But they can also be useful. Especially with the frequency in which they hunt for these items and buy entire caseloads in Toronto and GTA stores.
I've never once seen a Black Series Mando figure on the shelves, yet managed to get one from a scalper for only 10 dollars more. It was well worth it considering all the effort and time that would have been wasted going from store to store during a pandemic. Hunting for this stuff can be fun, but ultimately not the best use of one's time.
