On the flip side, the cheaper figures will be more predominant. They could care less if the fans are getting them or if Joe the scalper is buying them. It's all about price and quantity versus cost unfortunately.
Not to mention that we as collectors screw it up for ourselves. We bitch and moan about too many SS and SE figures coming out. So then they short pack Renegades SS and we bitch that there's only one per case. Hasbro had no way of knowing there would be this much demand for him. Hell I got him at a comic shop and I'm not really impressed. Honesty I think the wave 1 PoC ” Prince of Persia ” Storm Shadow is way better than the Renegades version. So Hasbro probably had no clue that the demand would be this high because all we as collectors do is bitch that we don't want anymore SS and SE figures.
