I thought prices were going to fall off once the line ended.

I NEVER concern myself with ebay prices before an item hits retail. That's all scalpers and people that like to burn money. 9 out of 10 times any "high value" item will come down to a reasonable price and be easy to obtain. Anyone remember Black Widow and the AIM/Hydra agents? Peg warmers now. It doesn't help that MI is not shipping as much as Legends but so far none of the MI figures have been hard to get for retail or less. The trick it making sure you don't miss the window where something is cheap and easy to get.


They old figures you can always find someone selling them off for a fair price if you know where to look and are patient. I've never paid more than $20 for a single MU figure and only ones I've had to pay close to that for were variants like Phasing Vision or Astral Strange (I need to get him again).
