It's probably a bit of both. I buy most of my stuff online now, but I'm also usually waiting until prices are below $20 for this line and $25 for the larger line (in a few cases I have paid more if I really want the figure.) Also with Amazon I've learned unless I really want the figure immediately to wait it out and the price will go cheaper. I know I got my Emma Frosts prior to waiting it out but mostly, I'm paying less than $15 including shipping (sometimes it's through Amazon Prime so there is no shipping cost.)

I think it's a waiting game but I do acknowledge there can certainly be issues with the price and shipping vs. balancing the patience in waiting for a more reasonable price. Still, to me it's better than waiting a year or more to get the new figures - hell what do I see most in stores around here, Wave 1 from 2014 still...two and a half years waiting. I've seen wave 1 of both 2015 and 2016 and the new comic packs, but to be honest i don't think I've anything past wave 1 from last year in the stores even once. I have no trust in retail at all stocking these things - the six inch line is much better but retail is still sucking at this line.
