I never had too many issues with scalpers when collecting Toy Biz figures, but keep in mind this was also at a time when eBay was still in its infancy, and usually the only time you would run into said scalpers was at a local toy or comic trade show, therefore you were less likely to have as many venues to sell your product back then. Make no mistake though should you find those figures at those shows back then, scalping was a big deal, especially with certain waves such as wave 6 (which featured Deadpool and Frank Miller Wolverine) The Sentinel wave, The Giant Man wave and of course the series 1 figures. The sister lines to Legends, Spider-Man Classics and X-Men Classics also had scalping issues in that these were the only places to get many of the most popular characters not released by legends, such as Iceman, Sandman, Scorpion and Rogue. Those issues were compounded by many people knowing that Toy Biz was on the outs, and the future of Marvel toys in general was very uncertain at the time, as Hasbro immediately introduced the smaller movie based figures, which would eventually lead to Legends being canceled altogether in favor of smaller scales.
