scaplers. they buy up transformers then sell them on ebay for inflated prices. that is a pretty greedy thing to do, but what i hate more is how hasbro needs a serious clue to make more! obviously they are selling well, so why not make more available? stop the scalpers from making money off your lack of being on the ball hasbro!
then there are collectors. some collectors buy multiples; one for transforming & posing, one for leaving in alt mode, and one mib. this seems rather extreme to me...the little kid in me sees a toy in a package and i instantly want to break them out from their plastic prison! i only want one, and i want to pose it, transform it, you know, play with it...maybe i am in the minority on this, but yeesh. i only want one of something, and there are none to be had!
that is just what i think, anyway...oh and after getting the robot heros i now really want the rest of the movie toys. i am regretting not getting a ratchet when i saw him (since now there are none to be had), and i still really want an '08 bumblebee, which is also no longer available at stores. oh well.
Hmm... if I had the money, I'd buy 2 of each, but that's only because I'm terrified of breaking any :P

I totally agree with you on the collecting thing. I can't stand leaving my toys in box, and I only buy one, because I feel everyone should get the toys they want. All I need is one, to play with, because last I checked that's what toys were for weren't they?
