If my memory serves me right, they were selling that wave from around $45-$60 per figure...which is CRAZY.

Not sure about everyone else, but I'm not shelling out that kind of cash for $25 retail action figures. I can't think of a single figure in my Black Series collection that I havn't come accross at retail or through a fair trade.
Winners is really tricky.

No doubt scalping in part clears them out, but I do know a lot of collectors who find stuff there as well. They just don't get a consistent supply of items, sometimes less than a case(like 1 case split between two stores)

I usually find stuff there maybe 4 times a year, and only stop when it is convenient for me. I never make a special trip just to hit a Winners.
