So I'm noticing when I find the Stilt-Man BAF wave in stores, there's only Peter Parker left on pegs like no one wants him. Even Frog-Man gone before him. Probably zero chance I'll find a Hand Ninja in person.

Well it is from Sideshow so it can be argued that it's aimed at the hardcore collector. They usually have limited production runs also but I don't know if that applies here. It's got a proposed weight of 25lbs when production ready though.
25 lbs has to include whatever intricate cardboard protective packaging.
I couldn't even bring myself to buy the Hot Wheels Premium Thundercats tank, but am itching to buy the Top Gun F-14 after seeing the wings can open up and retract.

i haven’t even seen Peter B. Parker in stores. lucked into a Miles Morales once, but haven’t come across any of the others from the Stilt-Man BAF wave. got my Gwen Stacy from ChubzzyWubzzy & Prowler from Hasbro Pulse. don’t really care for the others, but if i happen to stumble across a Peter B. Parker in a store i’ll probably grab it just because.
i recently found out that one of my artistic friends does a lot of model/figure painting, so i gave them my Miles Morales figure from the Venompool BAF wave to work on because the paint job on the sculpt is forreal lazy as fuck. been getting progress pictures from them & it’s already looking way better. now that i have someone that will touch up any worn cosmetic appearances on my figures i’ve started to scour ebay & elsewhere for cheap used/loose figures that have been devalued due to some general play wear/paint wear. for < $30 i already got a Kingpin BAF wave & a Sandman BAF wave symbiote + black suit Spidey

It looks easy to do if you ever want to try yourself. I agree some toys look like shit and its embarrassing almost.

I got 2 Funko POP! figures so far, one of Kid Buu from DBZ and one of Rick James.
A while back I bought the Matchbox diecast Top Gun Maverick Enemy Strike Jet (Su-57/Pak-Fa T-50) and F/A-18, now available in supermarkets like Safeway. I've been trying to come up with some sort of flight stand. I finally got something. I used the Lego Technic snap/cross axle connector and the snap end fits inside a hole in the Enemy Strike Jet's underside and from there, used an angled cross axle connector to plug into some other Technic pieces to make a somewhat dynamic tilted flight stand. The F/A-18 doesn't have a similar hole, so that one's still "grounded".

In addition, 6538 which accepts cross axles can plug into a Bandai Action Base 5 round hole.
I'm now thinking about trying to make either a minifigure scale or 3.75" scale Cobra Stinger jeep.

I just saw Amazon still has Marvel Legends Black Panther wave Namor Sub-Mariner and Black Bolt for normal retail price from Amazon as seller. I think this is like a few yrs old. Very surprising. I saw both marked down really low there the past couple of years.

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought the Lego AT ST Mandalorian with Gina in it. I was going to wait for a sale but this one will probably be cancelled soon.
What moron would pay crazy scalper prices for a Cara Dune just because it might be rare. My blue poop after drinking a blue Slurpee is also rare, but no one would pay big money for it.
Even before the shit can, I refused to buy a Black Series or TVC Cara Dune because I didn't want to look at it and be reminded of the cocky actress just like I don't want to look at a Ronda Rousey action figure.

Yeah, I buy figures that I like/fan of. If they turn out to be rare and let's face it everything that's made will be eventually, it's a bonus.

A lot of my figures have been reissues like the archives Boba Fett. People paying big bucks for a figure they didnt even care before Carano was fired is nonsense.

Why is it horse shit?
Collecting is about rarity and if she isn't brought back her discontinued figures will be rare.

Well, I'm not hatin' on those people, they're taking a shot at a precise moment in time. If I had one, I'd be all giddy.
I'm pretty sure some minor league baseball cards of some shitty player are also rare, but who wants it? Maybe even his relatives don't want it enough to pay big bucks.
Rare alone isn't worth acquiring. Has to be rare AND wanted by the masses.
