Why do people always cry scalping when people buy multiples? Jealousy? Or are some of you just trying to be a douchebag? There are people out there that help other fans out without asking nothing in return.

Target usually creates stock piles in the back stock room & releases store exclusives on set nationwide strict release dates.
Target tries really hard to release store exclusives on the same excat day nationwide in america.
MY GUESS: since this guy who has the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoots days/weeks before anyone else. this can only mean he acquired the toys by either tricking a store employee to grab the item from the back stock room against strict release dates. or he's a target employee who searched in the back stock room for these 3 items against the strict toy release dates.
INSTEAD of calling the guy names. why not just do the mature thing & call the target store from the guys receipt. then notify this store that their is a employee or customer that is acquiring stuff against the strict store release dates.
UPDATE: I just took a second look at that receipt. the guy apparently used his credit card to pay for the 3 target $29.99 HA leadfoot's. so if he got them illegially against store release dates & is a TARGET STORE EMPLOYEE,if people call the target store number on the top right corner of the receipt they can get this guy fired for abusing his store employee strict rules. It shouldn't be too hard for the store to identify who made this purchase based off the guys credit card info located on the receipt.

The fandom cries scalper every time a new figure hit retails. Don't worry about those who "cry-scapler", and kudos for helping out your fellow collectors. I live in a very rural part of Oklahoma so I have a friend who lives in OKC pick up an extra when new figures hit. I'm sure anyone who sees him buying multiples thinks he scalper, especially since I'm not the only person he hooks up.

Congrats on finding the figures you lucky *&#!
Oh, and 12 on the shelves? I've never seen that many of the same figure out on the shelves before. Seems high.

Human Alliance Topspin doesn't exist. Not yet. He hasn't been mentioned anywhere, so he may not see the light of day.
Human Alliance Roadbuster and Leadfoot are the only HA Wreckers in existence.

Shall we celebrate the release of Human Alliance Leadfoot or continue the misguided campaign of scalper hate? Because if it's the latter, then I'm not going to take it very well. Let's show why we're educated people and talk about the subject at hand.

Megatron Wolf wrote:Really the guy bought 3, how about leaving some for the other collectors out there you selfish bastard. Buy one maybe 2 if theres a good amount then wait for another shipment to get another dont be so fracking greedy, this is one of the reasons why its so hard to find wheeljack, warpath and many other figures right now. That and there just arent enough shipments being sent out and/or ordered. This is also a big reason as to why store exclusives suck, either scalpers grab them all & put em on ebay at retarded prices or all the collectors start fighting over then cause the store only gets a few.
