Agreed. Even though the artic and paints seem worse to me, I'm still buying (especially all the Spidey villains). I'm like a junkie that's being offered bad drugs at a higher price - I'm still going to jump.

Then again, we can't rely on UK retail to get the mothercrunchers in stock, so I'll still be buying online as soon as they appear. Asda used to get MU but it was so infrequent (like, every other wave), that I just used to treat it like somewhere to pick them up only when they inevitably reduced the prices on the ones they didn't shift. But since Sainsbury's don't do much in the way of clearance stuff I won't hold my breath.

I think these guys are at retail purely because Avengers Ultron is due out, and the retailers know that will be big so they're padding the Marvel stuff they sell in lieu of the movie line figs, which will hit (as they usually do) months after the movie has opened.
