    Found two Kingdom Tigatrons at Florence WalMart. Nabbed them both for a friend and I.

    Happy to help! He's a great figure.

    In other news - speaking of Sweeps - there's, like, six at Fern Creek Wally.

    Alexandria Walmart had some wreck gars and sweeps but nothing else of note. There were some pallets out but it Doesn’t look like they’re going to have tigatron anytime soon unfortunately

    honestly will probably wait until he hits saturation to go look for him I can’t stand all the people Christmas shopping who don’t know how to walk around in a store

    Okay. Pardon me for trying to make a buck, as opposed to basically giving something away for no profit. This is still a hard to find figure. Any lower and I might actually lose money. $30 figure plus $1.80 tax and probably $10 shipping is $41.80. So if I sell it for $50, I am coming out ahead about $8. Oh God, what a big time scalper I am.

    That's literally what scalping is, selling a high demand product for higher than retail to profit off of people's desperation to own it.

    Especially something that just was released and calling it rare because it hasn't made it to your area yet. This isn't like siege skywarp that was an exclusive 2 years ago and not being made anymore. This is a figure that literally just started shipping 2 weeks ago from Amazon and pulse.

    Compared to what this is actually selling for on Ebay, my price is quite reasonable. But whatever, good luck finding this in stores or waiting for BBTS pre-orders to go out in February or whenever they actually come in.

    It's hilarious somebody bought it for $50 when they can just simply wait and get it for retail.

    I actually ended up selling for $45. Still, waiting is easier for some than others.

    Well, let's consider this. $45? Yeah, it's better than a lot of other eBay "resellers". And yeah, some people are willing to pay high to get it RIGHT NOW.

    But in my eyes, it's not the price that's problematic - it's the principle. By nabbing that figure with the express intent of flipping it for profit, you have now taken away a chance for another collector to own that item at MSRP. And this whole, "I bet I can make a few bucks off this..." mindset is one of the primary reasons the new-gen consoles and current GPUs are so very difficult to obtain.

    If you had accidentally ended up with an extra, or grabbed one for a friend who suddenly got lucky and found it at retail... and then done this? This whole group might have been a bit more understanding. And in a vacuum this really isn't a big deal. But this very activity has contributed heavily to the scarcity of so much more, and people are frustrated.
