Tell that to all the Beach Head, Stalker, Shipwreck, Buzzer, Serpentor, Lady Jaye, Firefly, and Zartan figures hanging around my local stores. People were saying the same thing about waves 2 and 3 at one point, and Flint is going to be in another upcoming revision case. Other than a lack of patience on the part of collectors, myself included, I don't see the problem.

just a few questions for you compulsive. Do you buy everything new you see? Lets say there are four Wild Bills on the peg when they come out do you get them all or just what you want and leave the rest behind? If you buy more than one is it for your own personal use or to trade or do you put them up on E bay? trust me, I'll get mine and if my child whants one I'll get one for them. I don't have a problem with a personal collector but the e bay scum who is running up the secondary market is a huge problem. For all of us.

You know, another problem right now that I see is there are so many waves coming out in a short time that you have people missing figures. How many people do you see wanting a Flint or somebody from wave 1? I've seen wave wave 4 once. They need to slow down or put more out. One or the other.
