And it always seemed the figure you just got, got repainted and looks better then the one you have in hand. Or a multipack such as this gets released which has almost all reissued figures but 1, which everybody wants or needs to complete a dio/team. I sold almost all my MU stuff, and got back into collecting ML. At least with ROML for the most part the repainted figures don't come with a baf piece forcing you to buy them, and there's only 1, 2 at most that are repaints in each wave.

I understand what you are saying. Thats why I've switched to being a semi-completist in the sense that I only pick up characters/costumes of old characters that I don't have. I definitely just avoid all the repaints (New Avengers Team set is a good example). However, I will pick up new re-toolings or better looking repaints like for example the new Cap that came out in the Elecktra wave. That Cap is probably the best figure in that entire wave I think.
