Now I totally agree with you about putting money in scalpers pockets,and I hardly ever resort to ebay....But I did for this....I have a pretty big weekly budget for toys and comics,and with that long ass dry spell we had with MU..G.I.Joe getting pushed back.I just thought what the hell...

I also drive a Suburban so this is one of the biggest reason how I justify 25$ a fig..,and buying cases from BBTS doesn't secure Variants.....


Almost every Varant I've bought has been from ebay just cause I never see them in stores,...So I had to resort to crazy ebay prices..,and I have them all..So like I said ,the variant issue,and gas,plus less time at home its just easier for me....To each is own.....Just like I don't understand MOC collectors.....its a mystery like women..lol...

Good answers. I pre-order mostly these days, so it's easy to forget how disappointing, time-consuming and wasteful it can be hunting. This is how I justify the cost of pre-orders. I just get sick of spending so much money. I've learned to hold off and utilize resources like the Ark, HTS, or chance encounters at retail while I'm shopping for other things. I'm still on the ropes about the next two waves and wether or not I'm going to pre-order the waves or just cherry pick. I know Scarlet Witch will be a very hard and expensive figure to find at a reasonable price. It's likely she will cost more than half the cost of pre-ordering the entire wave.

I too can't keep from freeing my MU from their plastic prisons. I just don't have the self-control some others seem to have.
