I meant where are all these variant's ending up? Why is it that I have to eventually pay double or more what they retail for to own one? I kinda think it sucks. I mean I hit multiple stores 2 to 3 times a week and I have yet to see any kind of variant in the wild. It really is frustrating.

Ever think of getting a few more Skrull Soldiers and making more random no named Super Skrulls?

Charging DOUBLE [assuming these guys are American] is honestly in my books, wrong. Sure we don't have to buy them but if they clear out all the stores, what choice does a lot of people have? Like damn...

That is fucking wrong...fuck. I hope you don't shop there. I refuse to buy games from a place called "Play 'n' Trade" for video games. They offer 33 cents on a trade in for Smackdown Vs Raw 2010. I go back a few weeks later and some one else msut of traded it in and they are selling it for 24.99... Some places. I understand having to make money, but fuck there is a reasonable limit. That store you posted a picture of could make MORE money if they dropped the price to like 10-11.99 per figure and 14.99 for "harder to find variants". Look what you did son, I am RAGING.

In NZ there's the "GAMESMAN"(I make realy sure I have spelt it correctly before typing it into the address bar) and its just the same as "Play 'n' Trade"
Are the Green/hob goblin same as the spidey line?

Marvel has it about right, however they spider-man one has a cooler glider, I think. It is all personal preference though.

That I am not sure on because I haven't actually opened one up. I am assuming worse seeing the whole line lacks articulation on every figure that isn't spider-man haha.
