PFFT! You wish you had my little boy's cave.

52 inch Samsung 1080p, 120hz, Denon AVR-591, mini-fridge, awesome game-related figures, epic Skylanders collection, and 1300+ video games -

Don't hate... appreciate.

Actually, no I don't. I rather like my 55" mitsu, Onkyo (far better japanese receiver) and Infinity speakers. But enough of the epeen comparison. Anyone who has kids toys stapled to the wall cannot seriously call it a man cave. I call on "40 year old virgin" as exhibit A.

Lol so true. I hope those scalpers feel like crap, the ppl who made all this is making fun of them.

Why would the scalper feel bad? He just made over $100 profit! That's a pretty sweet deal for being in the right place at the right time.

What's with all the eBay hate around here? I really don't get it. An item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If I saw a silver or gold Skylander, I would buy it and flip it in a heartbeat. I'm more than happy to let someone else fund the rest of my Skylanders collection.

If it wasn't for eBay, I still wouldn't have a Whirlwind or an Ignitor. It was worth it to me to pay eBay prices for them.

I came across a World of Warcraft loot card once upon a time and sold it on eBay for $100. Never played the game, wasn't worth a dime to me, but somebody else really wanted it, and it helped fund the hobby that I was into.

Gamemaster, I don't post on here 24/7 but just thought I'd throw it out there that your man-cave is amazing. I dunno if the other guy is jealous or what (saying skylanders is kiddie when he himself is posting on a skylanders fan message board) but that collection is just staggering.

Wish I had that kind of money or that amount of room! But if I did, my room would look exactly like yours Some of us appreciate the inner-child it doesn't need to all be about booze, boobs, and violence which we are overfed everyday anyway.

And I know I'm not 40 but I am 24.

I do.

Here, let me explain.

Something like gold Chop Chop, is one to every 20 boxes... At least, I assume that based on silver Skylanders being 1 to every 20 boxes. It could be 1 to every 100 boxes. HELL, there could only be 500 in the world. How about 2?

See, the thing with variants, is THAT'S what the scalpers should be going after. Little Timmy doesn't care about gold Chop Chop. Little Timmy wants to play as Cynder, Double Trouble, Whirlwind, Drill Sergeant, Slam Bam. THAT'S what scalpers shouldn't be doing. Snatching up EVERY... SINGLE... ONE, to sell at a price like gold Chop Chop.

So, if you're tracking like a VCR, I only bought that, because who knows how many are in the world. TRUE collectors items are worth paying pathetic scalpers for. It's a true collectors item.

However, for scalpers to rob the stores blind of characters that kids will actually play as, that's just wrong.

If I were a coupon person, I wouldn't clean a store dry of all stock. I would leave some for others to buy. Why should I rob a store blind of one particular thing, when others are looking for or need the same thing?

Like I said, gold Chop Chop = worth the 127 bucks. You won't catch me funding a scalper, by buying Cynder, Double Trouble, etc...

EDIT: Oh, and Monsi. I have a 52 inch Samsung 1080p, 120hz HDTV in this man cave. I watch all of my Oklahoma City Thunder games on it, despite the fact I have a 60 inch Sharp Aquos 1080p, 120hz HDTV in the living room. I also have a mini-fridge in here. It used to have an autobot magnet on it, but I had to remove it.

EDIT 2: Forgot to mention, Monsi, that I also have a Denon AVR-591 surround system in my man cave, capable of Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio. I mean, I have a surround system in my living room, too, but I always try and flock to the man cave.

I can't remember who told me, honestly.

I venture to guess gold Chop Chop is even more rare.

Obviously no other gold has shown up, like a gold Whirlwind, Drill Sergeant, Flameslinger, Double Trouble or Cynder. *knocks on wood*
