>>11646611>I don't get this. If I miss something I miss it. Big deal, it's not like they're never going to do that character again.Anon, some figures are basically one and done. It isn't as crazy as you'd think. Do you think there will ever be another The Orb or D'Spayre in ML? I don't. Now sure those examples aren't hitting huge ebay prices so for now people could just go back and get them, but what about Savage Land Rogue? When will they come back to that look? Will Sauron get another reissue?
Even if it's a character they repeat again, it may not be the look of that character someone wants, especially for B or C list characters. Take even Hasbro's releases of Lizard, who is not a niche character by any means. The only one I would want is the dinosaur lizard look. The retro carded one looks wimpy. The new one looks too bright and colorful rather than darker/grittier.
So really, Hasbro has only ever released 1 Lizard I would buy. And it was a BAF--which therefore I wouldn't buy in that form, because even at the time it would cost like a hundred bucks and be a bunch of trouble trying to sell many of the pack in figures on ebay, or it'd cost a bunch just getting it complete on ebay. So there is certainly a possibility to either purposely or accidentally miss out on a figure and never be able to get that figure again for any price you would accept.
