I certainly could have worded that better. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I thoroughly enjoy the thrill of the hunt when I can make it out as do several other collectors that I personally know, but if I already know in advance that certain figures are more than likely taken, it takes some of the fun out of it. Plus, if wanted figures are found, doesn't feel like gas was wasted. It's one thing if figures/vehicles are actually limited in stores, but another when there are much more and the majority of those were snatched up by a handfull of people for either personal troop building or just to hold onto until others ask. A friend of mine who is familiar with this topic said "it's like a control issue." Not sure if I fully agree with his statement, but that's another collector's feelings on it.
As far as what you mention about hard to find figures, I didn't specifically mean hard to find figures, everybody has their own favorites. For example, lately I've been seeing 1 to 2 IG's and/or Toxic Vipers in multiple places and I like both of them more than the vipers/troopers. That's why I even bothered to mention in another post that I found a viper at Shrewsbury CVS. I happended to be going right by there and had 5 minutes to spare, but just didn't feel like paying almost double the price for him.
Now had I been out that way just for looking for certain figs that day, I would've grabbed him, which goes back to the fact that I enjoy the thrill of the hunt.
Again, just another point of view to take into consideration.
