Some of us collect and rip them out of the package and don't care about resale value, but for collectors like myself who one day would consider selling off their collection, it's quite frankly upsetting to see figures once thought gone for good, now readily available at retail.

It is what it is I guess. Rather this than the guy who bought a home for $400K and now cant sell it for $200K.

If you want to invest, might I suggest something a little more mature and adult like stocks, bonds, investing in a company, etc? Not toys that are intended for children. They aren't going to tell people "Oh, we don't want to re-release this figure because it might drive down value for people who think investing in toys is a good strategy". At best you're getting a return comparable to putting your money in a savings account.

You have nobody to blame for that but yourself, especially since it was clear from the beginning that figures are being scattered amongst future cases to keep them in rotation. This would have been clear with the smallest amount of research, another key factor in using anything for an investment.
