I just checked the store again and there are apparently still sets available. I was able to add two sets to the cart. Didn't follow through with the process because I already have a set, but it seems like someone who might still have a need could get a set or two.
I think this is great, but it set me to wondering if this will repeat with the FF set and whatever may come next. Knowing this detail would be very helpful in cutting down on the anxiety next go around and would necessarily dissipate the rotten cloud that sets in over the releases so far. That being the artificial scarcity that is driven by profiteers whose sole intent is making money (while adding no value to the product) from a panicked collector base who just want to buy a toy or support Mego as a company. It kind of guts me to remember all of the anxiety during both releases. If someone knew at the time that the Spidey set would wind up being released again (and not get gobbled up by the first ones to the trough....in fact, still available dayS later)....image how far that could have gone toward easing the angst in the moment.
