    I suppose it's possible it was a scalper, but it's just as possible they were all snapped up by parents. Bumblebee is one of THE hot toys for kids for Christmas. I have people from work coming up to me all the time talking about it, asking where they can find one. It seems like all the kids want that one, and not the rest of the deluxes. So why wouldn't the deluxes be picked through with all the Bumblebees gone? That's exactly what I'd expect. I think we're too quick to cry "Scalpers!" when we can't find something we want. They're not always the cause of shortages.

    Yeah, one of my local TRU's has a sign saying "Sorry, we don't have the Bumblebee figure…" in the TF section.

    Shopping for Transformers + holiday season = pain.

    That's why I'd do my Transformer shopping before all the stores turn into zoos with the holidays fastly approaching.

    See... Prince not liking scalpers makes me happy I'm not anti-scalper as I wouldn't want to even be marginally associated with that little freak...
