I really liked this point/counterpoint, and I was curious about what the rest of you guys think. I'm not gonna lie, I've bought some gray market figures, too. I long ago learned that patience is in fact a virtue, and if you wait long enough you'll almost always find what you're looking for, so I try to stay away from being the first to buy new figs. However, even though it came from a reputable place, I'm pretty sure my Volcano Viper that I reviewed last month was gray market. I also purchased 3 other figures...the now-cancelled Desert Battle Ripcord, cancelled Arctic Threat Duke, and Pursuit of Cobra Snow Job. I wasn't sure if Snow Job was going to be cancelled or not, and he has such cool gear (and so much of it!) that I wasn't going to risk him being cancelled. However, both to make myself feel right and to get more of that gear, I'm going to buy another one when he comes out in the PoC line.
So what do you guys think? I'm going to stick with buying only cancelled figs...and I don't feel bad about that at all. I wonder what would happen to them if they weren't sold gray market...melted back down? Given to charity? Anybody have any idea?
