In general, for characters like Baroness, I buy two for display and two for MIB display. I ended up with the number of her that I did because eBay prices for loose Baronesses fell into the $50 range at one point and I couldn't pass that up. I could sell some of my unopened ones on eBay I guess, but I don't want to. I'd rather have the figure than the money. Much like how I feel about all of my collection.
Frankly, I find it fun to buy the few characters I like. So I do it when the price is something I can accept. I doubt I'd buy more Baronesses, but I can't guarantee I wouldn't (particularly a single card release). |

Why can't the IP owner AND manufacturer of this brand hold open ended pre-orders for as long as they want?
Baffled by the logic. |

At least with Breaker it is easy enough to buy a 1/6 scale M-16 or something.

That's awesome and I didn't even notice this time but it's part of why Roadblock is one of my favorites - his last name reminds me of my best friend growing up and I like how the description could say so much with just a few sentences; much better than describing every figure as "the toughest best etc." instead they add a little personality just by saying he's from Biloxi and likes cooking. The old file cards made me look up a lot of stuff as a kid like the Escoffier School, and the names of colleges and MOS's from other characters. I bought Pulse Premium to try and get one, but it didn't work out but I guess now I'm collecting Classified unless everything continues to be impossible to get.

I think the Jada Vamp is a Walmart exclusive.

This is how I go Arctic Storm Shadow, Star Wars Biker Scout from the Mandalorian, and Greedo from the recent 50th Anniversary Lucas Film release. It is worth continuing to check if anyone missed out. |

I dont get making them defaco US exclusives why not do the same deals in other countries making them easier to get.... Trying to grow a brand by cutting figures off general release makes sense, Transformers isnt like this so why GI Joe! |
