Ok, so it's closer to say that just the Agent Venom figure is an exclusive. At first it seemed like an entire wave of the ASM2 figures would be exclusive.

If I happen to see AV the next time I'm in Walgreens, I might actually try to pick one up.

Gum $.99
Alka Seltzer $3.00
Dr. Scholls Gel Insoles $11.99
Nutter Butters $2.99
Salted Almonds $5.99

Could be a pricey trip to Walgreens especially if you find 2 or 3 Legends

If I picked up all that stuff there, I'd probably throw in a 6-pack to wash it all down, too.

6" Marvel figures haven't been $8 each for almost a decade, now. IIRC, the first price jump to $10 was in the mid-2000's, then to $15 a couple years after that. So that ship sailed a long time ago, my friend.

I'm no millionaire either, but I do have a fairly strict budget for my hobby. I stopped actively collecting ML's back when Toy Biz was still making them because I decided I couldn't afford them and the other lines I wanted to collect at the time. I also didn't like how much room they took up or the fact that the BAF waves were forcing me to buy figures I didn't really want just to complete the sets (blame it on my OCD, baby).

It's all about priorities.
