It’s definitely intentional. I don’t think Amazon’s algorithm makes a lot of mistakes. If they can’t replenish supply fast enough to keep up with demand, they price accordingly. Apparently $49.99 is what it takes to keep Wanda selling slowly enough to keep her from running out. She’s hard to find, so I definitely believe it, and Amazon sure isn’t gonna leave that money on the table. Selling her for $50 is how they sell the slow sellers for $9 without losing money. If Hasbro does a huge reprint, the price will drop.
