I just wanted to add that I hate scalpers too...
A lot of times I think that my local ToysRUs and Target stores are being used by scalpers (who I suspect work there as Stocking Crew) as a source for their eBay business
I have had luck with finding hard to find figures at small town Walmarts in my area. Most recently finding a Batman animated Batgirl for my collection.
Freaking Scalpers! I hate it when all the figure are taken by ONE guy!!!! You don't need 5 of the same figure so you can keep one and scalp the other 4! Damn them all!
There's a TRU near here and the pegs are ALWAYS missing the new stuff. I know they get regular shipments of the new toys but they just never stay on the pegs for long. I'm always stuck staring at a bunch of Apocalypse Series figures
I do a lot of Thrift Store and Flea market/ Garage sale pickups! I do check my local toy isle of all my area stores however. You never know when something will be on sale ie (I got a ton of FF movie figs for $3.00 each at wal mart)
Well, mostly Ebay because they always have lots of random bits and pieces I need. Spending 10 bucks for ONE figure at Walmart isn't as good ans spending 10 on ebay and getting lots of parts
Please wait...

The local stores around me are hit pretty hard by scalpers. I can't find anything.
