I really don't see the big problem with the Hurricane price. Completed eBay auctions for a MOC Basic Hurricane range from $17 shipped to $32 shipped, and on Amazon he will run you $28.99 + shipping. Hurricane seems to be a fairly popular figure from a series that came and went (at least in my area) very quickly. If I wanted the figure badly enough I would have no problem paying $20, especially with the opportunity of figure-in-hand.
Considering prices are rising consistently at retail (WM/Target $11, TRU $12, + 9% sales tax in NY), any Basic figure would run $12-$13 right from the store. Paying a few dollars more for a figure that I missed out on - due in no small part to the horrendous distribution seen with any Mattel product not named Flex-Force, isn't something as horrible as, say, the 100+% markup that some scalpers try to rake in.
