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.
