You also have a chance of making some money back as well if you are in the BAF market, since many of these series now a days come with figures who carry duplicate parts (for example, Misty Knight and White Tiger in the Rhino wave), or an extra figure (Scarlett Spider/Venom/Ben Reilly) at minimal cost that can also be sold to recoup back some of the spending.

And there's also the headache that's saved as well of dealing with local scalpers, lousy distribution, and employees who like to save the good stuff in the back for themselves. Sure...you might be able to catch a break when you find them on sale for 5 dollars off a piece, but in my experiences, the former has been more likely to happen to me than the latter.

exactly, im however still stuck with a few of them at the moment that i can't seem to sell or trade off.

I was also amused by how many auctions I have seen for the full Hulkbuster wave for less than retail lately. Part of it is that I have also gotten to the point where I am fine with waiting so there is less urge to pre-order.

yeap, here in SoFla these sets of legends come out literally 3 months later in our stores, while i see all of you guys posting pics of opening your new waves and so fourth. the yellow suit DD from walgreens is still a no show here as well.
