As expected my target has a peg full of diamond Emma exclusives so… preorder not required.

Yup, and if it's like Savage Land Chuck and X-Factor Jean then they'll be clearanced out for like $7.49 each in a few weeks. That didn't work with Storm or Weapon X though. They both legitimately sold out at full price at my stores. More popular characters in general, I guess. I expect Diamond Emma to be more like the first 2, though.
 
Prior to The Fwoosh, I was on this one forum action-figure.com or something like that. They used to do articles and they actually got me a press pass to the Toronto Toy Convention whatever year it was... no one had seen what Doctor Octopus would look like in Spider-Man 2, but they had the figure on display which I took sneaky pictures of for the owner of the site. We couldn't do much with them but it was cool to have insider knowledge for a few weeks before it was fully released.
 
I bought Grizzly on a whim - not a character I love, but I really loved the Ursa Major BAF and thought it'd be fun to have this guy too. Took me a solid like, two weeks to open him, too, been sitting next to my desk for days. But holy crap I did not realize how much NICER this figure is than the BAF. I kinda hope he goes on discount because the figure is so nice I would legit display BOTH characters. This is ABSOLUTELY an upgrade to Ursa Major, a character I love and DO want on display, but also rad enough to get me to invest in an extra one for Grizzly himself. Like... I do NOT want to blow 80 dollars on a pair of this figure but if they even discount him by 10 bucks I'd be tempted to get an extra.

Do I preemptively sell a few figures in hopes for updated versions? Like Beast and Colossus?
There's a few figures I got so I would have a version of the character in my collection even if it isn't based on the 90s animated series like Mandarin for example.

Never sell a figure unless it falls in the "I'm okay if I never hold this figure again" category. Half the time I end up using other lesser figures to make the newer figure better. As in the case of all these Gambits we've been getting to make a hodgepodge "ultimate" 90s Gambit because they're never going to give you a perfect version of him. Plus if it's even a character you mildly like just stick them on another shelf until you decide what to do with them. Core X-Men I never sell unless it's something like a costume or an era that does nothing for me, like Krakoa.

Anyone else ever had the situation where you know your had a certain figure... and your trying to find it in your display... and when you dont find it right off you think damn... did I get rid of it??? then you decide to go and buy it again (at a premium price) only to find it afterwards either in the display or in a box?
