BOTH my TRU's have One Luthor & One Sinestro and both cards were damaged/opened......
ANd as for E-Bay $25 or more for some figures I thought since alot of people could not get them then the one's that found them for $9.99 would help some people out...Guess not....Comment

Yeah i called around but i'm not driving around. I don't do "The Chase" anymore. Only way I can budget a Black Manta is at $10.00 . I dont have any retro , Im more of a Sci Fi guy right now, but Manta looks neato.Comment

Most of us have travelled all over to find these and have found squat. I have found a total of 4 (at more than a dozen stores) and sold one to my buddy to give to his kid for Christmas.
Chances are if people aren't responding to your requests/demands it means that they are not able to help. Not that they do not want to help.
You really need to choose your words more carefully. You're coming off as very insulting. Especially for a new guy.Check out ALL my customs at https://www.facebook.com/megowgshcustomsComment

Sorry but even though I am a "new guy" i'm not new to the collector world...I know that some people couldn't help but I saw alot of posts where they found some many of a figure and bought more than one and even though in this same thread they saw posts of people asking if anyone found them and the one's that did never responded back...Listen all I'm saying that if someone starts a thread of finding a SUPER deal of something and posts on how much is out their and they are going back multiple times what does that look like to the people that can't find anything...It looks like they ignore because they don't care...My opinion but I try to help when I can...
Dude, do you really think people here are not willing to help you? Do you think we found them and we're hoarding them from you?

I agree, we are not hoarding figures. Dude we barely know you but you want us to go out of our way to do you a favor, ythen you want to complain to us about the amount of help you are getting. I just think their is a better way of asking for help with your collecting then throwing the entire community under the bus. Just my opinion, but I like to think I would have gone about it differently.Comment

You know I thought the same thing as I read his posts. I offered to go out and look to see If I could help him but have had zero luck, then I keep reading his posts and I have zero desire to assist him now or in the future. Ive got two teenagers and that dont pout like that.

I think 20 years on the board is a little excesive. But you are walking up to a stranger on a corner and saying...I see you purchased two Batmen.....why cant I have one? Why do you have to have two and I cant have one of them?
And thats fine, but people aren't going to respond well to that. Thats what I'm trying to say.
I would suggest contacting some of the people that you feel have the greatest success locating these figures and introducing yourself and ask them for help....on a pm, or on the board....but if you throw your request to the wind asking for anyones help, my experience is that everyone will look around for someone else....if they pay attention at all.
This is human nature....so is ignoring people who complain, and whine about anothers success.
Again just my opinion. I'm not here to criticize you, just to give a bit of useless advice.Comment

OK point taken but what's the worse thing that could happen?? That person would not want it or would not pay for it then you could sell it someone else..No harm no foul I have been stuck with figures I bought for others that backed out but guess what..I sold them and no big deal and the one's I didn't know I got to know and they were grateful I did help I guess I look at the positive side instead of the negative like a lot of people do..After all it's a TOY we are talking about after all.....

Some of just don't have Money at the time, to pick up extras(I know I don't). But the way you're going about asking...isn't helping your cause any, it's just insulting.sigpicComment
