I remember seeing posts in Legends groups on Facebook where people were finding the Jim Lee version of Cyclops at JCP, while everyone else was striking out at WM, Target, Walgreens, and TRU.

Back in '16, I actually lucked into a $15 Black Series Sabine Wren at my local JCP, two days before Christmas. I had seen, again, lol, in FB collectors' groups that Legends and Black Series figures were on sale at JCP for X-Mas, so I braved the crowds and lucked out.
Oddly enough, the Sabine that I had ordered from Amazon had just arrived that morning, so I displayed one as permanently helmeted and the other as permanently un-helmeted, to avoid scratching her face paint by constantly removing and replacing her helmet.

Funny to see that my JCPenney (not really mine as my local store closed years ago, and this one is an two hours away, but I digress...) isn't the only niche pocket dimension for collectibles. That vaguely measures up with the timeline, as this store location hasn't had Star Wars Black series in years. Just holding on to the last remnants of their Legends stock and flatly refusing to bother lowering that $30 price tag. Can't imagine what they'd charge now with all of the price uphikes. Sheesh!
