Trying to go back and get the ones I wanted are a pain in the ass since some of them are so expensive now. Hell, even when they had The Winter Soldier wave in stores around here, I never came across any of the figures outside of Marvel Now Cap, movie Cap and The Winter Soldier.

I was lucky enough to find one Baron Zemo at Barnes and Noble and one Black Widow at some shop at my mall that only appears during Christmas time. Now they're selling for damn near 40 bucks online, which is annoying for people who want them. I still haven't encountered a single Red Skull, AIM Soldier or Hydra soldier in the wild.

Many of us had difficulty picking up Red Skull and the two faction soldiers due to the fact that they were being seriously poached by army builders, especially the AIM soldier specifically. Black Widow was an entirely different issue altogether, thanks to piss poor case distribution in the beginning of the wave's run. They were able to correct it just a bit though by the end thankfully by double-packing her, and the new AoU version with the Amazon two pack is giving those who missed out a second chance at her...so that's nice. If you're willing to spend 40+ on Widow, the Amazon 4 pack might actually be the best bet to go, as you get the new Thor and Banner figures, as well as the Hawkeye do-over for a little less than 80 bucks.

I do feel you though on missing out on past releases. I remember having Black Panther in my hand while Christmas shopping two years ago, and passed on him simply because I thought I might run into him again, but to this day...never have, and man has he jumped in price, especially after he was announced as officially coming to the MCU.

Deadpool...that's a whole different beast altogether, and good luck with that one. If you're willing to settle on his gray X-Force duds, it's manageable, but once you start shooting for the traditional red version...yikes. Thankfully, China-Bay has given us lots of Deadpool color variants at half decent prices, so it's still not a figure entirely out of your grasp, if you don't mind having a bootleg filling out a slot in your roster.
