I totally get your point, and yes getting the figures and characters you want and enjoying them is the whole point to me too, Faberge eggs are rare, but I don't want them, if you gave me one I'd trade it for a Vision no question. All I'm saying is that for me at least there's a hunt aspect to it, (that's why poor distribution chapps my ass so much). I love seeing someone score a super rare figure and brag about it, I REALLY love being the guy who scores the impossible to find figure. To me it's like baseball cards when I was a kid, there are collections out there that are awe inspiring (like those of a lot of folks on here), If you could always find everything It wouldn't be collecting, it would be a "how much disposable cash do you have to spend" situation. I am just proud to be in the game. I like the aspect that anyone with 10$ in hand can walk into a store and find something everyone else is paying out the nose for, I will do my best to have them all eventually, but if every figure was sitting in every Wal-Mart all the time and you could always afford them there would be no point in collecting, you might as well just go to the store and stare at them, or buy and toss right?
