My point was to shed some light on why figures like Thunderball skyrocket.

Look at it this way, it's very possible that Hasbro will reissue the Wrecking Crew considering that the figures were always out of scale, that fact being exacerbated by the new classic Thor, and Hasbro's recent penchant for making pricey/rare/limited run figs available for newer consumers.

I know you weren't. I was riffing off of what you said and elaborating more on my approach to the subject. But I definitely wouldn't mind new figures of the Wrecking Crew hopefully on the Omega Red body. Those lateral hinges would be amazing for Thunderball though Hasbro would likely need to make a different wrecking ball accessory or design new hands that could hold the old one credibly because the chain section was very thick. And with the Shang Chi rumors of Fin Fang Foom, I hope for either a new one or some rerelease of the BAF, because even the knockoff versions are expensive. Maybe an orange first appearance one with softgood purple trunks like the cancelled Marvel Universe rerelease.
