Me personally. I'm gonna probably preorder the whole wave. I feel sorry for the guys that try to hunt these down and get them discounted in stores because i just know this wave will be impossible to find out in the wild.

I think as far as scalpers go:

1. Psylocke - really great mold and iconic costume of a high profile X-Man (though not in TAS except for a couple of episodes, she's been high profile both in the 90's and has probably had her stock bumped this decade more than any other X-character). The character hasn't been done by Hasbro yet outside of the holy grail of SDCC exclusives.
2. Wolverine - The ONLY reason I didn't put him at #1 is because he will likely be double packed (though Madrox should be), and we've had a couple of Wolverines of varying designs over the last couple of years. Still, it's Wolverine....so he'll definitely be scalped.
3. Gladiator - the reason I say this is because there's going to be people buying him to sell to people who wouldn't want to purchase the SDCC set (though a slightly different design). As such they'll likely view selling this at say $50 or so to people who wouldn't plunk down $200+ for the set
4. Madrox, but only those scalpers who realize that people are going to want multiples. Those who have no clue who he is or look him up to see probably won't care about scalping him.
5. Storm, I'd rank her higher if she was in the Jim Lee or FA costume, and while this is a good figure it's not iconic. as such she's probably going to be lower on the scalp-o-meter than most.

I don't think there will be a problem finding Magneto or Sabretooth at all, or well, comparatively. I think the entire wave is going to be a pain in the ass to find though, but the plus side is there is not a lot of XMN coded product on the shelves right now to take up space away from reorder. I'm definitely case ordering and don't mind until DS gets these in (hopefully June/July) but I'm also to not be able to resist snagging an extra Madrox or two and Psylocke at a fairly reasonable price first chance I get. Just to get those two out of the way.

I just want this wave NOW. Also to clarify, the above ranking is only for chances of scalpers making it harder to find. My personal list is very different, though Psylocke is #1 on that too.
