Just to clarify; the speculty-shop guy works part time at a big-box to get early dibs.

Now mind you, I'm not about to quite my day job just to get first dibs or anything and if I got to buy a figure on-line, I'll do it. It just seems like regular collectors like me are at a disadvantage when looking for those sought-after figures like Archangel, Warpath, sunfire, Vision, now Thanos. I've always wondered if collector-oriented employees get first dibs...now I know. It just seems kinda shady that they don't even make it on the rack. But, hey, all's fair in love and war...!!
