Anyone that has been following this industry for the past couple years SHOULD be able to see trends and plan accordingly. And with the increased value of online ordering, preorders for many figures are NOT drastically more than retail (and shipping can be mitigated in other ways).
And stated before, Hasbro IS addressing issues with Star Wars Black with solid case refreshers for online retailers. You need Base and Chirrut?
Star Wars Black Series Chirrut Imwe 6-Inch Action Figure - Hasbro - Star Wars - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth
Star Wars Black Series Baze Malbus 6-Inch Action Figure - Hasbro - Star Wars - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth
Add $10 or so for shipping and you aren't paying an extreme amount over retail, and far less than from an eBay or Amazon seller.
Pre-ordering is definitely the way to go for collectors.
As for Baze and Chirrut, yes EE have them for pre-order at a good price but considering these figures came out in mixed cases in February or March and they won't be available as solids until (maybe) June doesn't help with Collectors who want them NOW. Most won't re-pre-order, they'll take the chance that they can pick up the figures on ebay for an inflated price rather than wait 3 or 4 months. We can see it happening now with Han and R2, Revan and Baze and Chirrut. And there's no sign of solid cases of Revan afaik.
