Your choice should not be "get stupid lucky, buy it for a shitty cost, or go without."
That's not how the world works. You're not entitled to get anything you want even for a toy. Look at Bandai and the GX71 Voltron. They had a set number to distribute and not everyone was able to get one. So there we all go paying crazy inflated prices. Are you going to blame the seller or Bandai's distribution? THe way I see it, if it's limited distribution then you need to make an effort to get it, but don't go blaming the seller for the crazy prices... It's supply and demand 101. Most are putting distribution problems on a scalper issue it's not the same thing.
