>>9022557>It seems like a lot of this would be solved if mattel, hasbro, etc would sell all of their toys direct to consumer.>Toy companies just need to join the modern world already.I'm sorry to burst your bubble, anon, but the parasitic scalpers have already infiltrated online sales as well with bots.
Fans who try to buy collectables online get fucked over by scalpers thanks to bots. Sites like Disney have tried to stop the scalpers by creating waiting rooms and and only allow you access to the site for 10 mins at a time, and even make you do a Captcha before they allow you to check out , but the scalper bots seem to be able to bypass Google Captcha, and they are allowed to buy $600 dolls at once.
