Even so, distribution issues and order placements are also factors. For example, my area is only now getting the last couple waves of MU after a long dry spell. But we are starting to see them - even some of the "OMG HTF!!" figures.

Yeah, I realized as much. I never intended for that comment to suggest I blamed Hasbro for it, although they are definitely involved in distribution, only that it's becoming an aggravating situation. I was lucky enough to find a Mystique and Multiple man at regular price at a local comic shop. That was the most awesome hunting experience I've had recently...sadly, though, I will not divulge the name of this comic shop, because times is tough in Cali. I can't afford no competition right now
