No, I don't think kids have anything to do with it. In my area, all of the Legends figures were initially impossible to find. And to make hunting even more fun there is no LCS here.

Lately, it seems that the Terrax series figures are peg-warming at the Wal-Mart I was at today as the same characters were still there in the same assortment as when I initially found them at this Wal-Mart. That would now be, since I got Hope today, 1 Thor, 2 Extremis Iron Man (blue), 1 Constrictor and 1 Klaw. And I'll be honest, I thought these Terrax figures would disappear with the same speed as before which, as it turns out, wasn't the case.

Therefore, I'm thinking there are two factors in play in my area. One could be the price ($15.44 Wal-Mart, $14.99 Target) having something to do with the same assortment of Terrax series figures warming the pegs at this Wal-Mart. Or, perhaps the collectors in this area have already gotten what they want from the Terrax series and are now going after the newer figures like Bucky Cap or Madame Masque as I haven't seen those here yet, or perhaps the Ebay scalpers bought the Zola series figures all up before I had the opportunity to see them.

Anyway, that's why I was pleasantly surprised to find Bucky Cap at BBTS and the cheaper price they were charging was the icing on the cake. Bucky Cap was the character I wanted the most from the Zola series, so in my case it was a win-win situation.
