But for me I have to budget, as do many collectors. So I pre-order or wait to see what happens at retail. If worse comes to worse I'll pay what I have to, but most likely I'll find deals that are more affordable than $25 a figure. It's not like my collection has suffered from waiting. I have almost every figure released. The only one I don't have that is rare is Blade. Other than that I have all the exclusives and most all the rare figures out there. So unless it's a mater of not being able to wait, I see no point in allowing scalpers to rape me.

I generally do the same thing. But speaking of Blade, I cannot believe how much he goes for now. When MU first came out I wasn't going to collect them but I still grabbed a few here and there. Shortly after wave 1 and 2 came out, I got sucked in big time. But still never picked him up. I must've seen Blade a million times and just never got him. I wouldn't mind having him now, but it is what it is and I just can't justify paying that much for a figure. Especially considering the amount of times I saw him for less then 8 bucks.
