One of my local shops has the Shock troopers going for 14.99, the arctic hiss for 30 and the best of 80s for 89 bucks!! Sucks that they hit every Ross, which we have two, the four targets and probably the 4-5 wal-marts and TRU. It makes me soo upset that I have to compete with them just to keep up to date with any of the new stuff coming out..I pretty much say the hell with army building any more. I feel lucky to have gotten six of the Shock Troopers. If I had the money id have bought them all when i saw them at the store just to spite them and sell them at cost to my fellow collectors. They had A jungle gun from Ross in the store the other day..Were they willing to sell it to me...Eff NO!! They were more concerned that they could get 25-50 bucks for the damn thing come christmas time!!WTF??They cant help out a customer that buys from them when they have something really cool? Hell i spent 11.99 on Low Light cuz the stores here dont have them yet..Yes they get orders directly from Hasbro..I didnt mind paying a few extra cuz i REALLY wanted Low Light. I plan on getting more as they come out in stores.. But come on really?? Do we as collectors have to unite against this tyranny and buy the crap so they and the scalpers dont get it and sell it to our fellow collectors at price or just a lil over to cover P&H? Has it really come down to this??
