Between that and Walmart and target putting out random back stock ( the Walmart near me just put out a case of SM vulture wave, which they clearances out months ago, and targets everywhere were getting GOTG vol 1 figures right as vol2 were dropping.) there is no such thing as “rare” anymore. I’ve been following some of this phenomenon on eBay for a wile now. 2 months before the juggernaut wave officially dropped people were paying 200 for Deadpool, one months later between 60-80 now loose your looking at 17-19. There are not a lot of figures holding up on the aftermarket nowadays, I believe this is because of overproduction, and the fact that stuffs comeing at us so fast nothing is “new” for more than a week or so. Hell I saw a cable go for 120 last week, now they’re averaging 70ish in a week they’ll be going for half of that, watch!

For the most part you can find them if you put some effort in, but there are still some that are hard to find in stores. I’ve never seen a Warlock wave Colossus other than the one I bought, and I have only seen one other Cyclops since I bought mine. I almost missed out on those two because as I was walking out of the aisle another guy was there looking for them. I put in a ton of effort in finding those too, checking multiple Targets multiple times per week until I had luck.

I enjoy the hunt to some extent, but with irregular shipment and always having to rush into stores to get there before someone grabs them, it does get old. I’m really glad the next X-Men Wave has so many I want so I can just order a whole set. I’m thinking for some of the current individual ones I want it might be worth it paying a few dollars more, plus shipping to get them online, rather than spending all my time driving from store to store.
