Wow man! Where did you get this? I also read that you have Assajj... could you do the same for her Sure, give me a couple of days, im off from work for the weekend, cam's at workplace. i did my homework, tried to dig for info when the stocks are arriving and where (retail), then persuade the staff to sell me. Most are reluctant to sell, as most of it are either kept for regular customers or were swept clean by scalpers the moment the stores open for business for the day. I didn't know muggs were THAT serious XD. I need to get there first thing one day lol.

It made me really angry to see so many SDCC exclusives go up on ebay before the convention even started. If you wanna buy Muggs that's cool it makes the hunt more interesting. but when people are just buying them for resale it pi$$es me off. The feeling you get when you finaly find the one Mugg your missing after a whole day spent running around town or waiting in line for hours is unbeatable. The feeling you get when you get to the head of the line and they're sold out because a bunch of people bought them to sell on ebay is crushing. *Deep Breath* Sorry, I kinda went all Nerd Rage there for a sec. I'm all better now.

I'm all better now. Be glad it doesn't always happen on a regular basis over in your country (is there?). <rant> For me, here, as a collector, it can be really frustrating. It's expensive for me to buy from online auctions, and i spend so much time travelling around just to get there earlier than those scalpers. Sometimes they go one up on you, they "reserved and collect" stock, while retail staff tell you they "sold" out the stock. And worst is when these scalpers get the "first pick" from the boxes, before the products go onto the shelves for display/sale. It happens quite often here, so most collectors here hunt extra hard, do extra homework, we have to be one step ahead of the scalpers, or we end up getting none, except staring in disbelief at the prices of toys in flea markets and online auctions </rant>
