It's a business. If people didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them. It's that simple. It's why despite protestations, you're gonna continue to see them have a big presence. 9/10, a variant Spider-Man or Wolverine is gonna outsell Hercules or classic Wonder Man or Moondragon or whoever we're discussion this week.

To quote Hurricane Helms, "what's up with that?"

Yup, it's getting ridiculous.

Just like waiting on Valkyrie resulted in the two-pack getting clearanced, and me selling that Thor on eBay for more than enough to make the initial cost very worthwhile.

I know that waiting can be a risky endeavor with this hobby, since it can sometimes result in losing out on a given figure while it's still at a retail price. But it can also pay off quite well, given the right circumstances. Hell, look at how many characters got recycled to some extent or another from the SDCC sets in recent years.

I've started to go this route as well. I held off on Iron Man and Iron Spider specifically because I had a feeling there was gonna be an updated rerelease.
