Considering I've yet to see one in person in a store as have a lot of other people I would consider that rare. If they were over following on shelves people wouldn't be paying what sellers are asking. Rare is an Ultimate Warrior 1/15 figure. Rare is not a build a figure which has had tens of thousands of the same figure made. It's hard to find in YOUR area. Not rare. Rare- adj.(of a thing) not found in large numbers and consequently of interest or value. Both are "rare", rare is not a standard number, there are varying degrees of rare. Would you then argue that a 1/1 figure is not rare? There are less of that than the 15/15. Rare simply means there is a greater demand for a product than there is a supply, items can be rarer than other items when the demand is far out of sync with the supply (ie. the 15/15) but even a large scale figure can be rare by the standards that it is greatly desired and hard to come by. And the above poster is right, buyers dictate the market. Figures would not be priced what they are on eBay if there were not buyers paying that amount. You don't have to be Irwin R Schyster to get these basic economics practices
