That damn Jubilee wave was ridiculously hard to find where I live. I only saw figures on the pegs twice the entire time they were in their primary run, and both times, it was only Wolverine to be found. I ended up grabbing Storm on Amazon at the time, but I still paid close to 40 dollars for her.

To answer your other question, Hasbro has re-released figures before. The recent Target 3 pack had a re-issued Cap, as well as the MLI:WS (WWII Cap) and the recent TRU Shield 3 pack also has a re-issued Nick Fury (albeit slightly different from the original one, which was released when CA: The First Avenger hit theaters and was also tough to find.) The Deadpool figure that came Warpath was nearly identical to the Marvel Legends one later released, but Hasbro decided to make life difficult by making the red version a European exclusive. Black Widow was impossible to find when the Winter Soldier figures first debuted, but has been easier due to repacks, but that is more of a re-pack rather than a re-release so it's not quite the same thing. X-Force Wolverine was re-released with the SDCC set (with a slightly different deco as well) but good luck nabbing that thing, because EVERYONE is drooling over the Psylocke and Archangel figures that come with that set, and scalpers flipping these sets know it.

Although again...look at the characters I just mentioned being re-released. Wolverine. Fury. Cap. All of them corporate mainstay characters from the comics or movie-verse. And in some cases, those re-issues took years to come out. It would take nothing short of an act of God (or a weather goddess) to find Storm on the shelves again in a ready supply.

(Although, I do wanna mention this...keep an eye out for Chinese knock offs. The Chinese are notorious for taking high value, high demand figures, and producing knock offs of various quality. The Hulk, Deadpool, and most recently Black Cat have all been done in the past, and if you're willing to have a placeholder in your set instead of the real thing, that could be a route to go. While I have not seen Storm done by them yet, it wouldn't surprise me to see one in the future if demand is high enough.)

Agree with all this^^ Highly doubt that they'll get a re release, but who knows when the next X-Men movie comes out what they'll do. I know for the Wolverine and the last X-Men movies those figures were still a pain in the butt to get. I ended up just buying the case from BBTS for the Wolverine one just so I could get Emma and sold the rest off.

Wow so happy that my friend grabbed her for me, I didn't know either, that's crazy :P

If the figure has no chance of re-distributed though later on down the line, and was hard to find as is, it's usually very unlikely you will see a drastic price drop unless you meet a fellow collector with a heart of gold.

Agreed, those are still a bit cheap too...they'll still floating around as well to be able to get at retail if you're lucky.
