Since i'm super new to these, could someone tell me what the likely hood of these "selling out" would be? Like is that common or would these be pretty widely available come next year when these actually release? It's confusing because I see on BBTS all the endgame figures are sold out except for the super pricey Thanos and Iron Man. But the main SideShow site still has them all up for pre-order.

They sell out from basically everywhere over time except for Sideshow since they're the Hot Toys distributor. So places like BBTS only get a certain allotment but Sideshow keeps their preorders open. Some places like Timewalker Toys still have preorders open, so I'd look around and check out some other sites.

But like I said, almost until release, Sideshow keeps the preorders open. So I wouldn't be too bent out of shape by not preordering right away.

Once they do sell out, they become a bit hard to get for retail. Check eBay sold prices for examples. Some go way high, some are just a bit more than retail. Cap and Iron Man both get high typically.
