I’m buying more DC Multiverse figures than ever which is kind of funny. What’s not funny is my PERCEPTION that…
1). Some figures will be very difficult to find in the wild, at least for me. I can’t stop at multiple stores multiple days of the week hoping to be in the right place at the right time.
2). Opportunities to preorder are more infrequent and less reliable, especially with tariffs looming large.
That and the fact the line is winding down have caused me to be more reckless with my spending than usual.
Superman (Silver Age), Two Face (Platinum), Dr. Fate (Standard), Adam Strange (Standard), Hourman, and Green Arrow (Connor Hawk) were all purchased in person or ordered online at retail price.
I went to evilBay for Nightmaster, Supergirl, Damage, and Jade (been waiting over 10 years for a fully articulated version of her). Prices ranged from slight overpays to gross overpays.
Fortunately, there’s not much more in the pipeline that’s a priority for me. Collector Editions still seem relatively easy to find or preorder so getting a standard Hawkgirl a retail prices shouldn’t be an issue. Mirror Master will likely be an overpay. Not sure if Mr. Bones and Mr. Miracle are Collectors Editions or not. Those are the ones that come to mind right off the top of my head.
