Is it because there are so few female figures that customizers use them as a base therefore they fly off the shelves? Or because some of the figures mentioned do not really have a lot of previous versions released? Just tossing possible reasons out there.

I never knew that was there / they sold GI JOE, and I go to BF... well... sometimes. I need to go more often.

Also have an offer out on another one so we'll see I might be having two, instead of one.
If you don't mind me asking, why don't you fly? I have gotten over my personal fear of it to some extent. I still get some uneasiness but not as much as I used to. Regardless, no way I am ever getting to SDCC. It sounds like an incredible time, but also one big cluster-$uck of a mess.

I will try to keep my eyes open.

Personally, I wouldn't get a Skystriker off of Ebay. Most Targets haven't even put them on the shelves, and it is a matter of fans/ scalpers just getting the employees to grab it from the back. I am expecting (and maybe being hopeful) that I will be able to get the one or two that I want off of a store shelf at some time over the next two months. If not, then history will repeat itself; I didn't have one as a kid, I won't have one as an adult.
Although I will have a StarScream Skystriker.

There are bad seeds out there. The pegs full of Arctic Destros aren't Hasbro's or the store's problem - it's douches hording, not being able to sell, selling back what they didn't want - nothing more, nothing less. I will argue this with anyone. Figures that are Frankenstein creations is another issue at least in some areas. So someone buys an item. Takes what they want. Puts back whatever they don't want. Returns it for a refund or store credit. Essentially something for nothing and the store tosses it back on the shelf so that someone else can potentially buy .. an altered item. How is this not stealing? The WM in Albany had this problem real bad. I don't go there as much anymore so I don't know if it still is an issue. It seemed like when I did go there was always some mismash of a figure staring at me. Hell, I have even been the victim of it. Shame on me for not looking close enough / paying enough attention. Bigger shame on the douche who did it though.

Well, it depends on if you want / how you feel about others looking out for you and helping you get something you want... over someone else ...kid...scalper.. other fan... whomever ... getting the opportunity to buy it before you do / can.
