The cheaper you can get figures the cheaper you can resell then, still making a profit and making your customers extr happy. I also know sideshowtoys.com does have a store/reseller type account.

The main reason is discount levels. The more you buy from diamond, the larger "discount" you get across the board. If we stopped buying our figures from there, the % discount we get would reduce across the board. The difference in case prices wouldn't offset the discount loss since that goes across all product.
