Sure it's caused me to have some incomplete collections. But I'm perfectly fine with that. I also have no buyers remorse, and therefor nothing to bitch about.

She doesn't even know about it. I might test the water of ebay. This would be my first sale. I will start it at my cost price and let the animals take it from there.

Can anyone tell me why a set of the Beast wave (5 figures) is $54 at bbts and the set of the next wave (Scarlett Witch wave still 5 figures) is $25 more at $79!?!?!

We're all trying to figure that out as well. Actually, scratch that. It's because Jen and Wanda put out. So they're charging us a premium for that...

However, the Scarlett Witch wave has 3 new figre double packed, but also 2 new figures single packed (SW and Kang). Therefore, in order for them to sell a set of 5 they have to buy more and be left with the extra figure plus the 4 older figures in the case. Funny thing is that until a few months ago we all would have bitched. Then the ScarJo Avengers Widow 3 figure set came out and since then BBTS has trained us to accpet the higher prices. They have brainwashed us and quite frankly they did it rather well.

Because female figures don't sell.

Case breakdown. Beast case is two new figures and 2 extra older figures, therefore BBTS only has to eat the cost of the 2 extra figures.

I know it's supposed to get better, but I have little faith. |
