Between that and Walmart and target putting out random back stock ( the Walmart near me just put out a case of SM vulture wave, which they clearances out months ago, and targets everywhere were getting GOTG vol 1 figures right as vol2 were dropping.) there is no such thing as “rare” anymore. I’ve been following some of this phenomenon on eBay for a wile now. 2 months before the juggernaut wave officially dropped people were paying 200 for Deadpool, one months later between 60-80 now loose your looking at 17-19. There are not a lot of figures holding up on the aftermarket nowadays, I believe this is because of overproduction, and the fact that stuffs comeing at us so fast nothing is “new” for more than a week or so. Hell I saw a cable go for 120 last week, now they’re averaging 70ish in a week they’ll be going for half of that, watch!

I've definitely noticed a good deal of that, but my area still has some issues with supply, and I prefer to buy Legends at retail, especially with the MCU figs from GOTG Vol.2 wave 2 and onward, to ensure no paint/printing issues. And yeah, I've not been buying Legends at full retail as much, I pricematch almost reflexively, and take advantage of sales as much as possible.
