Why are scalpers such scum shit lords?
>>
>>5656307
Because they know if someone wants it bad enough, they'll pay for it, and that's all that really matters to them? It's not that complicated.
>>
>>5656310
So how do we stop them?
>>
>>5656377
by not being a waifufag, for one

When something is popular and saught after it will be scalped
>So how do we stop them?
>Better Distribution
>Better case asortments
>Pre-order system
>Solid release dates
Hasbro has to worse scalping problems cause of the way they chose to do business like it still the 1980's. All they care about is brick and mortar store orders then sales data.

Next to be Scalped this guy here

Stopped at my local Walgreens to get a drink and found her but the paint on her head was pretty bad so I left her for someone who's not as OCD about their paint apps.

Ahsoka looks terrible. I was out at a target in shitfuck nowhere and I found the whole wave minus Luke in some spot off to the side and I really wanted Kanan because he's the least awful-looking black series I've ever seen, but Ahsoka... Jesus Christ.

They could've fucked up literally anything else, but it had to be her face. At least she's decently posable, I guess.
>>
>>5656434
So what you're saying is that I should've picked up the one I found because no matter which one I find she's going to have a fucked up head.
>>
>>5656307
She's a shit figure, you don't want her anyway
>>
>40 doll hairs
I love Ahsoka, but black series aren't even worth their retail price.
>>
>>5656307
>artificial scarcity
She's not rare and only a niche subgroup of collectors want her. I sure as hell don't. So bide your time, prices will plummet.

I like it when scalpers think they have them all and think its only a matter of time before people finally give in to them.

Then they walk into Walmart one afternoon and realize their dream is dead.

They keep doing this with Hasbro stuff and always end up having to dump their shit at cost.

Or less.

Shame yours is so bad anon. The one I picked up has some of the tightest paint apps I've seen on a Hasbro face.
>>
>>5656944
No, whenever that happens they just return them to the store and get their money back.

This anon is right, I mean look at the prices on this Ahsoka, you can't give the fucking things away. Same with the VC one.

Add how much are The last two online exclusives going for now?

But I do agree it for different reasons

>>5657464
The last two online exclusives were available at retail price for a couple of weeks before they sold out everywhere, so don't act like Groove won't be really easy to come by at a good price.
>>
>>5657058
What a pain in the ass. You think they really drive all over, hang onto dozens of receipts, and drive all over again? It's a complete waste of time and effort for anything other than big ticketime items like MP Soundwave.

As it relates to OP, she was supposed to get a solid case this summer but Hasbro cancelled them. I ordered one but I'm sure shop owners much smarter than me knew the demand was all empty talk and withheld from ordering any at all. Can't say I blame them when I see $25 being trotted out as a "rape" price every bit as bad as $50.
>>
>>5658004
My local toys r us handed their entire stock of masterpiece soundwaves to a scalper from frank n sons, still in their shipping boxes, at store opening.
