Seams like a lot of work to me.
I'm not defending scalpers or anything but $25 profit doesn't sound like an unreasonable mark-up to me.

This guy isn't scalping. Having volume of items indicates case sortment. His margins don't suit you then just stay away. Hasbro still has them bonus...

I'll keep my Takara

I guess you've never seen someone in line at TRU with a large number of these or other MP's...

I have.

I wish your statement were true.

25 bucks doesn't sound 'unreasonable' but in terms of percentage of overall cost, I'm not down with that. I'll try my luck with the backorder.
