    Yeah, I wanna steal his BBs and distribute them to those who don't have one, then leave the boxes as a calling card. These assholes make me so fucking pissed... I wish we could report them to eBay

    Y'know, it's one thing to pick up an extra ONE and throw it on eBay to see what you can get for it. I don't have a grudge against people doing that. But to clear the shelves so that the only way people can get them is pay your outrageous prices? That's just fucking bullshit.

    He'd better sell them pretty fast because theyll reach saturation soon (and about bloody time too...)

    This is interesting. I was looking at the comments and was immediately drawn to this one;

    onesock (2 hours ago) Marked as spam
    I bet his mom yells at him in the second half of this video.

    "GET YOUR TOYS OFF THE COUNTER! AND WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BRING ME GRANDCHILDREN?!"

    "I told you mom, I'm gay!"


    Who could the culprit be? :lol

    This scalping thing is absolutely ridiculous. Just remember guys, buying a scalper's sh*t just encourages them. Boycot scalpers.

    Scalper. At the most, I would say 2-3 Bumblebees would suffice. 1 to open up and 2 maybe for spares.

    I won't hold against anyone wanting to have spares as in the case of reissue G1 toys - I had my original vintage toys broken on me so my lesson is to get at least 2 pieces of my faves.

    QFT. Speculating on the price of a toy or two isn't a big deal. Hell, it's American. But when you intentionally try to reduce supply to drive up costs, you're messing with the market, and that pisses me off.

    This guy's a dick. My solution is to ignore his video rather than feed his ego, and not buy scalped toys off eBay.

    Crazy mofo sack of dick shits. I'm mainly pissed because I still can't find one. This foretold saturation point had better get here soon...

    sigh. us collectors at least have other option besides brick and mortar. what about the kids?

    every other time im in the aisle i hear kids lamenting to their parent 'why arent there any bumblebees' and its because of these douches. stupid hoarders.

    I'm the one who commented that he needed to wash his stove. I may be a collector but at least I have a clean kitchen damnit.
