Ok, I'm starting to see the disconnect. My comment wasn't specifically about individuals here buying gobs of Dani figs, I could not care any less about the personal decisions others make with their greenbacks, nor do I care about the dent a few buyers make in the availability of a toy. The point I failed to convey, apparently, is while I'm ok with a one off here and there to get out d/e/or f list characters, I'm not on board with this becoming a trend...and it already kinda sorta is one.

The good thing is that this only works with a handful of teams and characters, so the histrionics of my comments might be overblown...that said, and as mentioned, the language I employ is purposeful with the goal being to provoke consideration.

As a former GI Joe & Star Wars 3.75" Kitbasher I bought tons of doubles, triples, etc. If people are going to buy a extras of figure that may not be on everyone's want list, have at it. I enjoy seeing the " new" figures people are creating. I think it is great for the hobby. Hopefully they might inspire Hasbro on the figures collectors are looking for. I loved Veronica's Firestar from awhile back. Hasbro should have just borrowed her idea and put it in the next X-Men wave. I did that with Trinity from the 1st Matrix series and was able to get an exclusive figure for the company I worked for.
