Online, she was... all of Wave 2 and 3 were really easy to get online for sale prices and free shipping usually, except perhaps Plaguis, though I got him from HTS for cheap too. Took the patience of waiting for your order to come in was all, but wasn't a big deal. Saved a lot by not having to buy by the case, plus using a coupon code.
Most of those figures from 3 and 4 ultimately sat... But online. Walking into a store and getting them, not so much. That's retail's fault though.
