FReakin scalpers man, seriously. Ok here it goes I get up early and hit walmart, and theres these three i always see, and it seriously pisses me off and this happened like at least ten times this week. I get there right, andy then I find them buying all the muggs, and then i head to the target near by, and the same three are buying muggs, so i head to a tru and the same freakin three, and what pisses me off severly is that when i get to the store and they arrive at the same time they start to walk faster and end up running toward the toy section, and im like WTF. Freakin A man, d**n scalpers and the thing that pisses me off theyre at my collectors society highjacking the prices up and im like thats some f'd up bs man. THIS IS THE WORST I had the same problem only in my case the scalpers were small atypical nerd-men. A few threats of violence later and I haven't seen them since. Fast lawyer talk *TheviewsandopinionsexpressedbySchrodingerscatarenottheviewsandopinoinsoftheMightyMuggsLounge.* End fast laywer talk

So they're special scalpers. That is too bad, you can't even really get mad at them. It's like they're cheating.

^^They probably aren't scalpers just odd balls. Like the wierd neighbor lady with 200 cats, except they have newspapers from the 1950's laid out all through the house for the Muggs... I love my muggs, but if I start running to toy aisles I am out of collecting.

I saw those same three guys he is talking about on saturday at a local target. I was there like 10 minutes before they opened and one of them showed up just as I did. Then a few minutes later the other two showed up. When the doors opened up they walked until they passed the security guard and then all three of them sprinted to the toy aisle. I could not believe it. One of them is 50 - 60 years old and the other two are close to 40. It was so ridiculous to see these three running at full speed to the toy aisle. The target people there must have a good ol time laughing at them when they leave. Luckily there were no hard to find muggs there so they didn't grab any. And when I arrived at the muggs aisle they were already talking about the next spots they will hit up. These guys are seriously messed up because I heard that they turn around and sell the muggs for $20 each or a set of 4 for $60. These guys are the worst. If you live in or around the Los Angeles area be aware of these guys. Someone has to set them straight. Sorry for the long rant but it was truly amazing and upsetting to see this happen before my mugg loving eyes.

The same dudes? Weird. Those guys are total nerds. It needed to be said. These guys are taking the fun out of Mugg Hunting and driving up prices. Lame.
I am sorry, but I just have too much pride to sprint to the toy aisle. If I do, someone take me out in the back and shoot me.

It is the same way of other things like clearanced games and electronics, there are always people doing that.
Not sure if any other feels the same, but I am getting tired seeing of those Iron Man and Batman masks as well as the Hulk hands when looking for Muggs, particularly Marvel ones.

That's a pretty ridiculous story. And this is why I've given up Mugg-hunting in Los Angeles. Waste...of....gas...

They don't sound special, just punk 'em. If they really are just evil nerds they should be easy to scare.

Exactly. Try and scare them. What are they gonna do? One of you guys needs to bring a camera with you and snap a couple pics of these guys to post on the forum.
