First of all, I would really like to know where you got a case of these that came out to less than $10 each, including shipping charges. I'm assuming the less than $10 is before shipping, right? Second of all, not everyone wants, or can afford to buy a whole case of figures. Third, hts has been out of alot more than just the night viper. Try, NV, Jinx, Duke, Cobra Combat Ninja, just to name a few, among others, but I guess those are wave 3.5, not wave 4.
Wave 4 I got all of from HTS, with a 10% coupon and free shipping, so those were definitely cheaper than retail.

And really, this conversation is starting to get off my original point. Which was that these figures will not be hard to find when all is said and done. Hasbro said they increased production on these and want to sell these through the Holiday season. As I pointed out earlier, many of these figures were easy to obtain and whole cases can still be bough for under retail, and all of this is just pre-orders on product that wasn't even released yet. If there was this much opportunity to get the figures during pre-orders, how much opportunity will there be once the warehouses are finally emptied of product, and it's all on the market? Quote:
A friend and I each bought a full case of wave 3 from Dorkside, and with shipping included the total came out to $252.90 which works out to $10.54 per figure, with sales tax Joes are $10.70 at retail, so it's not a huge savings but still cheaper than retail.

Don't forget all the money you save for gas and time spent. I know the thrill of the hunt is there, I enjoy that too, but I ordered a case and anything else I find on the shelves will be gravy.
