No complaint or criticism of McFarlane is ever valid.

You can find almost every new release in all the usual places right now. Theres an occasional figure thats harder to get, but its much easier these days. For me the more htf are platinum task force Flash and btas Phantasm reissue but i can get the entire Platinum wave off Mcfarlanes store for $60 using my discount and a $20 rewards coupon and can get the other online if I wanted. And if it wasnt that simple I would wait and get them when the opportunity presented itself. Better than screaming about it and getting angry (over toys).
"You can find almost every new release in all the usual places right now." Please tell me you aren't one of those who has never bothered to think that not every collector's local situation is the same, in terms of where they live, what stores are (or aren't) located there, how well those stores manage their inventory, how much shelf/peg space is devoted to the products, how much competition is in that immediate area, etc. My little old hometown of 5,000 people has one Walmart that doesn't carry McFarlane at all in store. Some people are even more remote than that. Some live in smaller cities like mine (around 125,000), where there are just a couple of stores that carry them at all, and they get product on a very sporadic basis, sometimes skipping one or more waves entirely for unknown reasons. And there are plenty of other variables and situations. I've collected various lines for years and lived in different cities in that time, and, as is the case here, my local experience is no more true for you than yours is for me or the next guy.
I'm glad he's a gold label as opposed to just a 1-6 platinum as this is my favorite look for one of my favorite villains, don't so much love that they're saying he's "exclusively in-store" though. Also, he's a "Revenge of the Green Lanterns" version but no rings on his fingers? Lazy-Lazy Todd.

He makes thousands of each. Platinums are easier to find these days unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

Good for you, besides nothing is worth 3X the original price, certainly not mcfarlane's stuff. The collecting community has no one else to blame for scalpers, if they keep buying from them.
The McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Target Exclusive Cyborg Superman (Revenge of the Green Lanterns) Gold Label Figure is COMING SOON exclusively in-store at Target!
I'm sorry but that face sculpt looks like big gay Al and I can't unsee it.
