Found in the wild a snake eyes classified at TRU in Newmarket today. Left it there. Only one on the shelf.

Scumbag. Taking from pallet is a questionable behaviour to start with. Hoarding them is unacceptable.

Should have pointed it out to some of the staff. Usually the store frowns on customers taking the shipping boxes of anything.

You should have just grabbed the case out of his cart and pulled out a Zartan. My wife and I pulled a similar move with a hot wheels scalper last year who thought he needed 3 Deloreans. My wife distracted him by calling him out for his crappy behavior while I came up another aisle and pulled one Delorean out of his cart full of doubles and tripples of other hot wheels. I don’t collect the classified figures but if I find one in Sudbury I will pick it up and send it to you. I’m so sick of this crap. We have a scalper here who clears out shelves of Transformers, MOTU, Star Wars etc and puts them on Facebook market place/eBay for ridiculous prices.

Well this was my first encounter with a scalper and to be honest was more shocked that he was actually doing this.
If you do come across one in the wild i would be more than happy to take it off your hands.
Let me know, thanks.

On topic, Barrie North Walmart is cleaned out now; grabbed the last redeco Roadblock.

It’s sketchy to take unopened cases from pallet. The person doing that should know that. Then to not share a double from the case you prevented from being put out for sale is dishonourable. Not illegal but lacking in honour.

I understand that, and I’m not looking to start anything but people in here have admitted to taking a case off a pallet for themselves and their buddies. So, if this same guy was doing that and the other Zartan was for his buddy, is he wrong?
