You can always do the eBay thing. Eventually most will show up at a reasonable price. The so called grail days are pretty much over with a few exceptions here and there. Not much goes up in value anymore other than the older pieces. I've been able to pick up some older pieces at lower prices too. Just gotta wait for the right deal.
Great advice. With newer figures on the secondary market, your lucky enough to break even. You better make sure you want the figure, because you will probably lose money if you decide you don't really want it. You really need both of these to go together. To me, one without the other would seem incomplete.
