Considering what some of these figures go for, I don't feel so bad. I paid 20 for phasing Vision at the toy convention, only to find him about at hour or so later at Wal-Mart for 7.99. So I got 2. I also found Moon Knight at the time.

After that, I stupidly paid 12 bucks for Sunfire and Yellowjacket, (right before the revision packs hit retail,) at LCS. After that they were everywhere, in addition to Thanos and Constrictor (the elsuive wave of 2010).

It was around this time that I decided to just say fuck it, and buy whole waves. I can just return what I don't need, ahem, exchange, what I don't need, at Wal-Mart, Target, TRU. And before y'all (yes I'm from the Souf) say that's wrong, I help out fellow collectors cause a week later those figures are gone.

Of course, I do still NEED X-Force Archangel, (65 would triple my highest), astral Dr. Strange, Hope-Cable,...and I am sure another 1-2 expensive ones that I want that elude me.

Needless to say, I learned my lesson, only pay $$ for variants.
