It may have been hard to get when it came out but you can get the Purple one for fairly cheap now and even the Black variant has dropped a bunch. They should be thinking about the consumers when making these BAF figures.

The Apocalypse BAF came out nearly 10 years ago. Since then, many people have joined the Marvel Legends community and missed out on a lot of the older figures.

Now, we could theoretically spend secondhand market prices to just get the ToyBiz figure, but even considering price drops on the secondhand market and the size of the figure itself, it's still a lot of money to shell out on just one figure. In that regard, it's more attractive to somebody that doesn't already own Apocalypse to spend a little bit more money, get 5-6 MORE figures and get a BAF Apocalypse. At least, that makes sense to me.

I could see skipping out on the wave and just buying the BAF if it happened to be one of those scenarios where you're only buying the wave for the BAF and don't care about any of the other figures. But if they're putting a Jim Lee Rogue in the next X-Men Wave, I would imagine this wave is going to contain a lot of other fan-requested characters as well.
