They are terrible people who try to ruin other people's holidays by buying "rare" or popular items till their out of stock and then sell them for more on Amazon/Ebay. Stupid scalpers, it's your fault

Yeah! I want my Legacy Power Rangers morpher!

My dad bought me flocked eruptor.

According to my parents, they found the ONLY light expansion pack at my local TRU, and all the darks were gone.

What are those Zapnorris?

You mean the expansion packs? A skylander thing.

Oh I know what they are but why are the prices so low?
And I mean the price tags.

I actually don't know.

Are they traps?

I want to capture kaos dammit! Stop taking my Kaos Trap

Try having the anime figure collecting hobby. You'll hate scalpers even more but will be forced to buy it from them so you don't get a cheap bootleg version

Is this about Amiibo?

I ran all over the place looking for a Captain Falcon to give my brother for Christmas and couldn't manage to find any. Didn't help that Nintendo has goofed up the whole release date thing for wave 2. Eventually I found out he also liked Link so was able to get him that (and a pre-order for Lucario).

Scalpers are buying up all the figures and pre-orders for wave 3 so they can sell them off. Rosalina pre-orders alone are going for $60 or more.

No, Midnight Museum and Sunscraper Spire.
60$ and 53$ on Amazon

I really want my Villager amiibo.

It's good and easy money, I'm fine with scalping depending on the persons situation. Scalpers only ever get money from people who aren't willing to wait, so it's your fault if you buy at their inflated prices.

But what if the item they're scalping(?) is limited edition. You can't wait for more of them to be produced, as you can't buy them anymore.

Thank god, I called my Aunt to ask her to check her TRU and she found both. Take that Scalpers!

I think thats a pretty low thing to do if its limited, yeah.

Also, whoever is buying all of the Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer Amiibo's can go fall in a ditch.

That's why you preorder. If it's limited, why would you wait until Day One without a preorder to get it?

it depends on the situation on said earlier.

some have to scalp to be able to even have electricity, fyi.

Yes, wish death to me for buying ****ing toys.

DISCLAIMER: I'm going to reply to these with Amiibo in mind, as that is what I'm familiar with as far as scalping issues are concerned.

Not everyone is going to want to pre-order, or should feel the need to do so. I shouldn't feel forced to pre-order Lucario not because I want him that badly, but because if I don't do so scalpers will buy them all up and my brother and I will never get a chance at him.

What if they stop production of figures? Nintendo has already said that while they aren't discontinuing figures YET, figures will be discontinued to make room for future figures. So if they are only making limited stock of certain characters and make it perfectly clear which characters those are (in the case of wave 1, Villager, Marth, and WFT), scalpers are going to buy all of those figures that they can, and then leave you with no choice but to pay ridiculous prices.

Rosalina pre-orders are gone. Your only hope to get her now is to pray to all the gods you know that you can find her when you get to Target first thing in the morning. To hope that the scalpers who didn't pre-order don't run in and buy all the figures.

And why are pre-orders gone? Because scalpers would pre-order her by the boatload and are now selling those pre-orders for upwards of $60. So, pray tell, what should I do now if I want Rosalina so I can practice and get better?

If you're just buying those toys because you want to play with them, that's fine.

But if you're buying multiples of them or even entire stocks so you can sell them off at a higher price, then you need to understand that what you're doing is wrong and could potentially screw over a child that wanted one for Christmas and now can't have one because their parents don't want to spend $50+ on one.

Well you should have preordered Rosalina from Target when you had the chance, bud. Your better option is to import it from amazon.co.uk when it becomes available.

Ok, who's going to stop me from buying multiple amiibos? I've offered parents and other kids if they wanted a certain character when I went to go buy them every time my local Walmart gets a shipment in. Many parents refused and gave an attitude because they said "my kids want the Skylanders/Disney Infinity", and some parents and kids were grateful and I gave that amiibo for them. I'm fair, but if they're going to be ignorant and attempt to force their opinion that i'm wrong because i'm a 15 year old and don't know ****, then they can screw off.

Yes, and I believe I read that Rosalina pre-orders sold out in roughly 30 minutes. Not many had the chance to pre-order her.

I understand that, I didn't even get the chance to preorder her from Target. There are many options including importing for about the same price as Target + shipping.
