Very nearly walked out of Ollie's yesterday with the whole Eternals set ($7.99 each, minus Sprite who wasn't there) even though I don't necessarily want them. But I remained strong.

Stay strong... they will go lower. Wait until they drop the price to $2.49 each - that will be the time to strike.
Heck - if you want the whole set loose, including the store exclusives, I'll sell them to you for $2.50 each plus shipping 😀
I got the whole Eternals set (including Kro, Thena, and Ajak) a year or so back for something like $70 total? Definitely don't regret it as it's a really impressive set of figures. Seems like a really unfortunate confluence of events that led to them dedicating so much new tooling to the entire cast of an MCU project at exactly the wrong time.
I'm still disappointed by the reception to the Eternals movie AND the figure wave. When they first came out I thought that it was a wonderful wave and I usually don't even collect movie figures. I've got several full waves packed away when I too bought them for like $5 each. I honestly really liked the movie and I though the figures that we got were really good. Obviously I'm in the minority on both of those opinions.
Make no mistake - I actually loved the Eternals movie; took my family - my 13 year old son thoroughly enjoyed it and my wife still says it is her favorite MCU film. I bought all of the figures at full price at retail right when they hit before it became clear they would still be on pegs 3+ years later... it was only after that I made the decision that I no longer had room for an MCU figure collection and shoved them all in boxes. Some of them have been easier to offload than others... the Eternals I won't be able to give away.
Tracksuit Mafia showed up at Ollie’s. $10 apiece.
Got this text from @Pakledjim this morning.
This was a good tip. Stopped by the Ollie's closet to my office on the way home and managed to grab four Tracksuit Mafia figs. Super happy to have a little gang.
Outback Rogue finally made an appearance around my parts and I grabbed her, too.
They also had a whole lot of nearly all of the Hulk Cho BAF wave. Photon was the only one I didn't see. Kinda regret not picking up HR Iron Man and Commander Rogers, but I felt like I had enough at that point.
I made my first trek to an Ollie's after seeing the Tracksuit Mafia news. No love, but dear god did they have a lot of Attuma and What If..? figures. Holy moly.
What states are people finding the Tracksuits in?
Spotted a McF Animated Flash for like $5 or $6 at Ross. Skipped it, but bought that huge Page Punchers Gorilla Grodd Mega Fig for $8.
Hope they’re holding out for Christmas season drops. Being in California always makes those Ollie’s sightings seem bananas. I bought 3 of those Tracksuit Mafia guys when I saw a case in store but held off on the rest because they were waiting to (never) be fulfilled by Target.com. They were great, but $10 is a steal.
I miss not having the location with the avatars (though many were fictitious). I found the Tracksuit Mafia in Western New York.
Star Wars The Black Series Wave 32 (?) Case - $25.99
1x Omega
2x Echo (The Bad Batch)
2x Ahsoka Tano (The Mandalorian)
2x Death Watch Mandalorian
1x The Client
Holy cow. Eight for the price of 1. Tempting just for the two DW Commandos — but what am I gonna do with the rest of them?
