Do you have toy buying "ethics"?
I guess this is as good a place as any to ask this, but what type of ethics do you, as collectors, have when it comes to toy purchases? There are two types of retailers that won't ever get my money, regardless of how badly I want a figure that they have in stock, even if they're the only game in town. The first is the guy who scours the city's stores (Walmart, Zellers, TRU etc.) to pick up the figs as they are released at retail only to resell them at a mark up at his store. The second is the guy who receives cases of figs then marks up the popular ones (I'm not including chase figs in this) by several bucks or insists that you buy a bunch of figs you don't want just to be able to buy the one you do.
