It's about the character for me. I'm perfectly fine making my own version of a character like that than paying the asking prices getting thrown around nowadays just because I'm not particularly attached to that specific costume/look. Honestly, I used to get caught up considering buying hiked up priced figures too until I bit the custom bullet. For anyone that insists on the actual Hasbro produced figures though, I feel for you guys, but like fosterlager said, just wait it out and a good opportunity usually comes up. I've come away with straight steals on figure purchases hitting up my local comic conventions and used toy shops. Even at retail, a figure that I for whatever reason was anxious to own and bought at a premium online eventually showed up on the shelf. It's all about how patient a collector can be or if they're willing to strike out on their own making stuff, I guess.
