I got back into collecting a couple of months before the COVID lockdowns and I can say that availability and prices are currently in a state of flux right now. The stimulus checks really cut into the supply of sealed/carded figures/vehicles/sets and prices went up by about 20-30% on average and most of the non-ebay stores got cleaned out. If you are only looking for new/unopened product that may make it a bit more difficult. The 25th DVD packs, 50th packs, etc. are a lot more difficult to come by now.
For the past month or so, I've noticed that auctions have been going for prices that are much closer to what they were in January/February, so hopefully things will normalize a bit.
I agree with Sataninjaku on going after common 25th and ROC items if you are wanting to get reasonable deals (e.g. ~$10 per figure or less). I know a few of the 25th Comic Packs are still a relatively decent deal as well as some of the TRU 5-packs (night watch, crimson guard set, Snake Eyes vs. Red Ninjas, etc). I believe the Retaliation Premier set is also still available at under $10 per figure.
The MASS Device Beam Emitter is going to be tough to find for a decent price.
