That and the exclusives don't seem to be nearly as hard to find as in the past. I think scalping may be dead? I know there are people on eBay with deadpool listed for 100$, but they ain't getting it when there are fifty more for just above retail.

There are always one or two that end up being above retail everywhere if you don't jump on them early. Wolverine in the Juggernaut line is that one right now. It's offset by every other figure being half retail. My local comic shop had him listed at 27 last week on FB, and he was called for 5 minutes after the post. They probably could have picked up a little more margin. They must have been using old prices, because I know a lot of shops comp right of Amazon and EBay. Either way, I'd rather give my business to a comic shop over Walmart or Amazon.
