Not everything can be had for half retail.

They may be sold out just now but I bet you can still get one for retail or under and in due course they will be had for less.
I was thinking the other day about how I used to collect those Marvel Legends figures. I had a pretty big collection but decided to sell them off a couple of years ago. Sometimes when I see new releases for Legends being issued I regret not keeping my collection so I decided to look at how much it would cost to buy them up again. The vast majority of figures - now sold out have either kept their value or gone up significantly, sometimes doubling, even tripling in value.
Bottom line is, the cheap, plastic, unlimited and mass produced toys that some on these forums would mock others for collecting hold their value better than these limited, 'prestige' pieces. I think for the simple reason that they are way overpriced and not worth it in the first place. Times like that I really have to wonder what I'm doing in this hobby.
Even Hot Toys hold their value better - I also sold off collection of them and had a much easier time shifting them at a decent price than I do statues. And at least they get the eyes right more often than not.
