I'm pretty much in the same boat as many of you with respect to my wants list. I've managed to get almost all the figures that are really high priority for me except for:
Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel
SDCC Human Torch
Both yellow/blue and red/blue Giant Man
Sewer Clash Lizard from Spider-Man line
Shocker from Spider-Man line
Anti-Venom from Spider-Man line
Dr. Octopus from Showdown line
Watcher from Marvel Select

And then sure, there are lots of rare variants that I'm just not willing to pay the secondary market price for, but that I'd love to have:
Absorbing Man (Metal skin)
Electro (Translucent hands)
Bag Head Spider-Man
Victor von Doom
X-Force Archangel (Was so bummed that I missed when he went back up on HTS!)
Astral Doctor Strange
Family Dollar Thor
Gray Beast from Showdown line

And then of course there are tons of odds and ends like repaints and reissues that are very low priority for me.

I was lucky enough to pick up Firestar at retail. It was before I even started collecting the line. I was in a Toys 'R' Us and saw that and the henchmen three-pack and just thought they were so cool that I bought them both at like $15 or $20 a piece. They looked like they had been there forever collecting dust. I love hearing other people's stories like this. Getting rare figures for retail or less is the best!
