Scarcity and rarity equal higher value. Gi Joe collecting and general collecting 101.

I managed to get 11 range vipers from wally.com and i ordered them 3 different times so scarcity is what you make of it , if i got this many from supposed bad wally.com why did so many others miss out there were many times they were back up for sale .. i took advantage of my down time , if people dont want to put in the work/time to find or procure what they need then they need to quit bitching about not finding it that blame/shame/guilt shit is as tiring as the i missed out/it excuse .. I think people would rather bitch about it than do something about it to .. like slice said ebay has everything you need , do people want to pay secondary prices, NO , but if you want something bad enough you’ll find a way to get it and wuit bitching about it ,theres always an outlet for everything you need/want or think you want/need

I've seem a great many Bludds in the last few years on ebay for not nonsense prices... the Range Viper though seem to be one of those things the majority of the stock went to a few small number of locations a couple of Asian locations got a modest amount.. but overall it seems Walmart got it all.
I cynically suspect they are just sitting undistributed next to a glut of Big Ben, Wolf Spiders and Shadow Trackers. Some how it just seems worse with the Range Viper as he's something someone might want at least more than one of where as there is less reason to go that nuts on most of the others. I'm sure I'll find one eventually just like you can now easily get Duke and Beachhead's originals due to the Retro release. But is a shame part of me can see why you might not want say 20 of them as they lone wolf / small squad types.. but still '1' would be nice. Who knew he's be harder to get than Mindbender, Serpentor, Beachead, Major Bludd, Duke or a Cobra Trooper. Meanwhile Night Creepers don't seem to be causing to much issue to get. If I can make an excuse for wanting to army build them that is. |

Weird this conversation went from Pulse restocks to "No worries, just pay double on eBay". lol
Everyone knows you can get all this crap on ebay so it's no big revelation. |

IDK, after purchasing 200-plus Classy figures (never mind my other collecting) I really don’t worry about paying double for one purchase if I have to. You got the toy you want and chances are that money would have been spent on one additional figure anyhow, that is how I look at it. I bought a second of both Bludd and Arctic SS for my son after their initial release for more than double because he really wanted them. To each their own obviously, I didn’t have to spend $120 for 2 JOEs for my son; I did because I chose to.
