Last time I was out Walmart has 3 Hawkeye's and 1 Machine Man left, and TRU only had Hawkeye as I bought everything else lol.

I totally agree. Ordering off BBTS was totally worth it for me for this wave. I bought the full 8 pack case which showed up on Monday. Even with shipping, the per figure cost was less than I would have paid off the shelf from TRU and probably comparable to negligibly higher than from Wal-Mart or Meijer. Granted I got an extra Hawkeye but I have already seen some customs using him that make me want to try my hand at it as well.

I was considering buying the Spider-Man wave as well and while I am fine with a duplicate Spidey, the duplicate Anti-Venom (which I do not particularly want even one of) is also double-packed. Paying $140 for 6 figures instead of $160 for 8 did not seem worthwhile. If only the second double-pack was any of the other figures....

I definitely understand the preference to support retail but around here that is incredibly difficult. The closest Wal-Mart to me has a dozen Cosmic Iron Man figures warming the peg. Anyone who wants the GotG wave here is pretty SOL unless they go online.
