I've never really been into the LSB either... but this one is just incredibly cool looking. And also awesome to have such a huge bust of Galactus

I second that... some people take the whole free market capitalism to extremes.. Someone that cares nothing for a piece buys two, and sells them both on eBay for 2 - 3x the price each, mere minutes after buying them. People that really want the get back from work get onto SS's website to see a piece that wasnt there in the morning's already sold out.
These scalpers make me sick

Eh? now this I don't agree with.

Are you on the square?
For anyone interested, this site has scans of John Byrne's Last Galactus story that was printed in Epic magazine in 1984. I still remember when this came out (damn I'm getting old).

IMO, when SS does a PPO they should have a "qualifying question" about the piece! Something simple enough for fans to already know, but too obscure for non-fan flippers.
Actually, I think a lottery system on a piece this limited would be more fair because first come first served in this case is skewed into fastest connection, first served. Take everyone that ordered within 2-10 min depending on addition size and do a lottery.

If you have a more intelligent idea to stop scalpers, I'd like to hear all about it. What WOULD be the most intelligent way to stop scalpers?

wow, so much name calling 
mods lock this baby up
as for not knowing characters, that really doesn't matter to a lot people out there. myself i got the apocalypse lsb simple because i thought it was a cool looking piece. the same goes for many other statues i own, i have them simply because of the coolness factor.

Last time I checked this is a free country and as much as I hate scalpers, it is not against the law.....
That also goes to people that buy things from scalpers. They are as guilty in my opinion....

Nah. If one man bought up all the worlds clean water would you be guilty of support if you payed him for a drink?
If only scalpers have what you want....not many other choices.

That's a strange analogy.....
Water is a necessity and you'll die without it..........Galactus isn't......
Although I'm sure that some people would disagree with me....

"Scalpers" of collectibles aren't doing a thing wrong, so why stop them?
Show me where it's illegal to buy a polystone statue/bust and resell it for more than you paid.

Well, I have to admit perhaps I was a bit vague. I didn't mean the most intelligent way to stop scalpers from living. Just from scalping.

It is illegal where scalpers don't pay INCOME TAX on the profits they make. If you want ILLEGAL, That's ILLEGAL. Scalpers are operating a business under the table, illegally, depriving the government of due taxes on profits derived. Tell me how you pay income tax on all of your scalping sales. It is WRONG because scalpers are buying things they don't really want, just to sell them to those who do, in order to make money illegally by selling things at an enormous profit, with no overhead, and then not paying taxes.
Scalpers who resell concert tickets are conducting an illegal business for the same reason. That is why ticket scalpers are often arrested selling tickets, are they not?
