I'm going through the same debate now with the Kingpin Big Figure: Should I buy it on E-Bay alone, or wait it out and see if it gets a single release.
The most AGGRAVATING part for me is that as a commercial company, Hasbro should WANT to maximize sales and profits. If it can be proven that the Big Figs sold alone will have more sales at full price than forcing consumers to buy 6 average figures (some of which will become shelf-warmers and remain unsold even at 50% off), why not go for single sales? I think the Build-A-Figure should be treated as a bonus; Not a mandatory sales driver.

Rumour is that there will be a Kingpin BAF re-release at some point - possibly end of this year, but in a black suit.
