It's Mattel's rollout and distribution that has made this budget line difficult to collect.

My sentiments exactly - I kind of have a new philosophy about collecting: if they're easy to find at retail price, I'm in. If "they" make it difficult or I have to spend extra money to import them, then I'm out. I don't have any interest in starting to collect a line with wave 3 - what are these dummies thinking?
