Because at least they give you a chance of getting figures that you cannot get here (Australia) I have a GITD Cynder, 2 cherry lipped chills, granite crusher, ruby red drill sergeant & a legendary trigger happy on there way to meet me...................

gasp we got us a scalperer this is bbbaaddd

Ummmm seriously kid how can I be a scalperer I live in australia WE HAVE NOTHING TO SCALP I wouldnt even scalp if we did anyway

what you like is people who sell skylanders online that dont charge a price higher then retail. this is not scalping.

I admit it's rather helpful. To be honest most of the scalping I see for Giants only goes badly above RRP because of shipping- people seem to be being overdramatic about the reselling price this round... I'm not paying scalpers this round (other than buying that one Sprocket that is now in Texas) but I don't think the cost is as bad as people are making it out to be, most listings I saw up were about fifteen plus shipping.

^ This.
I agree its not no where near as bad at the moment...I'm not sure how long it will last though. Since theres plenty of stock in stores I frequent doesn't seem too bad. But it was the same this time of the year with the first game too. Just wait till the holidays then it'll get bad lol.

But for now it seems fairly okay pricewise as far as reselling is concerned. I have though seen a FEW listing asking 100 or more for Granite Crusher by himself and about that much for a L- Bouncer. But thats not really a regular thing though.

yeah not everyone is a scalper on ebay...i bought several of my figures on there for like $2 higher then retail. so in the end my gas and time would have cost me that

Exactly! I got Legendary Bouncer and Granite Crusher from eBay, because I can't get to the physical stores, and neither one of them was available direct on their respective store web sites. I was happy to pay a few extra bucks for figures I wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.

You just have to be careful on the shipping costs, some of the sellers charge ridiculous amounts. I was lucky to grab them both for about $20 each, not much more than I would have paid otherwise. Granite Crusher, if he had been available at Target.com, would have cost $15 plus $1.50 tax plus another $12.74(!) for shipping so I actually saved some money.

Scalper supporters I don't like as much because they are supportting scalpers by buying figures from the Scalpers

My target had 6 granite crushers this morning. Looks like the searching could be a thing of the past this round. Had good stock on all avail

Went to Target this morning, there were at least 8 Granite Crushers on the shelves. No new wave 2 figures. I did get my daughter a Skylanders Giants pillow!

Ugh. They just kill you with that shipping! Gotta hit up all my local Targets before plopping down the money online.
