I guess the only good thing about that situation is that scalpers who speculate and snatch up all the exclusive figures when they first come out (with their automated bot accounts) will now have a difficult time unloading them after they've become readily available to find at regular price.
On a related note about scalpers...I read on Facebook (in a group devoted to McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse figures) that some of them actually even go so far as to take photos of a figure, post the pics on eBay, then hide the figure without actually buying it in the hopes that they'll get enough online demand to upsell the item. Then they'll return to the store to purchase the figure (assuming they're not trying to scam people online as well by taking their money and not actually having anything to sell).
That might explain why people sometimes find figures hidden in the most unusual places in a store (away from the toy aisle).
