I can't speak with any certainty, but suspect that BBTS deliberately holds back a few figures and updates the listing with their availability in order to manipulate buyer psychology, much like buying concert tickets, e.g., "I snagged the very last one / I got in just under the wire!"

But let's look at the situation objectively. Endgame made $1.2 Billion Dollars at the box office on its first weekend. Demand for these figures is probably going through the roof. Do you really think there will be major shortages for such a money maker?

It's tempting to get greedy and buy for that reason, a kind of pack rat / stockpiling psychology, but I'm resolved to buy a character ONLY because I really like that character. For example, it seems unlikely that we'll ever see Chris Evans as Captain America again, and his legacy is large, so I want to have his last figure for that reason alone, not because there will be any limit on quantity available. The fact that Sideshow still has lots available tells you all you need to know in that regard.

That's my rumination. Hope it helps. Anybody else?

Edit: I just checked, and see Cap AND Widow AND Nebula just became available again @ BBTS. You see what I mean about the appearance of stringing the collector along? I'm not saying they do it, but it just seems that way sometimes -- that, or some people just abruptly cancelled their pre-orders for all these characters, all at the same time, for reasons unknown.

Eh I must have missed it, cause BBTS as of right now is sold out of everyone again except it seems for Thanos and Standard, non deluxe hawkeye. Which sucks cause I have $100 in credit for them so I'd like to use that towards one of these if I am going to pre-order.

Anyways thanks for the reply. I know this movie made a jackpot of money. Demand will be high. But on the other hand, I know plenty of people who are perfectly fine with a $20 Marvel Legends figure, or even a $70-$100 S.H.Figuarts figure of these characters. The Hot Toys price kind of secludes them to only a fairly specific group of collectors (IMO). I'm not saying I'm not buying these. I just was trying to see if I should jump the gun and pre-order all these now, or if I can wait it out till it gets closer to release if someone had experience and has been collecting Hot Toys for a long time.
