monsterhighcollector: amuletmoon: So, I had my first encounter with scalpers this morning. I had such a good feeling today when I woke up, but that was instantly shattered when I got out of my car to see two men waiting outside the TRU 20min before opening time… I heard them talking to another lady nearby, and she asked “Did you find anything good the other day?” His response, “I found some Monster High dolls. The new gargoyle girl, and the guy.” At this point, my heart started racing. I waited impatiently to go inside, feeling the hoplesness of it all weighing on my heart. My first thought was to warn the employee at the customer service desk, but I took a chance and went to the aisle first. One of the guys were there, cradling 5 Rochelle and 1 Jackson in his arms. I clasped my hands and literally begged him for just one. He offered me my pick, and when I asked where the other Jacksons were, he said “This was the only one.” LIAR! After he left, I checked the shelves, hoping one might have been carelessly over-looked. No such luck. I was in tears when I went to check out. I’ve read so many horror stories. This was by far one of the lesser evils I could have witnessed, but it still hurt so much. My cashier asked why I was upset, so I told her. She said not to worry, they wouldn’t let them leave with all the dolls. It was a 2 per person limit. I was only slightly relieved. My hunt for Jackson continues… I fear the release of Robecca and Venus, because of them all, I want Robecca the most. this is a fucking dreadful story :( wow wow wow That gave me the shivers. Stuff like this is a reminder why we shouldn’t give scalpers any money. I know you want the dolls, so do I! Just be smart about it. All of us here are more than willing to help find dolls for people. I really hope the op finds a jackson. And if anything I will be on the lookout for her.
