Just checked amazon and saw them selling deadpool for $19.99. Jumped on it right away, and when I try to pay, it says the item was sold while I was in the checkout section! That's it, I'm done, I'm done man. They all can just keep their deadpools, I don't even care anymore.
On a brighter note, I found why I can't find one in stores, or at least Wal-Mart. A stocker I was talking to mentioned that the last two shipments of the X-Men wave didn't even have a deadpool in the box. Apparently there's not enough to go around, or people are buying them before they ever ship to the stores.
I think there's plenty to go around, the scalpers are just buying them all first.
I don't mind when I see my local comic shop selling one for $35, but I get annoyed when I see the steady stream of $60 ones on ebay or where ever, and people actually paying for them. (or pretending to sell them like my old boss used to do, to set an artificially high price to use as a starting point for trades/sales)
Sorry to hear about your difficulties, so ends up the options are give up entirely or or pay the ridiculous scalper mark-up. As far as there being no Deadpools included it retailer shipments I'm guessing they're all being bought up before they even have a chance to ship.
