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.
I think you guys should lay off this user. Many of these items sold this way get to our overseas friends. We live in a capitalist society and Targets are a dime a dozen. This happens with each and every hot figure. Best way to beat a "scalper", is just to beat them at their own game. Instead of complaining about it and being upset, get down to your local Target and pick one up. There's little point to villainizing someone for providing a service that helps other collectors get their hands on these figures that feel there is a value in paying for secondary market prices.
Don't want to pay marked up eBay prices? Wait a few weeks to find the figure cheaper. The DPCI number was posted in this topic ... go to your local Target, give them the DPCI (or better yet go to a Target that has the price checkers where you can input the DPCI number yourself to verify their stock), and you too can have HA Leadfoot in your hands before the day is over.
Using the DCPI numbers is actually the best way to get anything from a target. Sometimes when I mention the number the employee breathes a sigh of relief. I guesws it makes heir job that much easier
I agree with Ryan along with many others on this subject btw If I buy multiples of figures I ALWAYS try and hook up board members first..IMO it's family first
