My local games shop sells quite a few single figures (I'm going there today to see what new ones they have out) but expect to pay extra for rare/in demand figures like Wolverine, Magneto, Juggernaut and any Unique figure (those are the ones with the silver ring on their bases - I have seen a Unique Vision sell for $30 US on eBay).  Typically I pay between $1 CAN for really common Rookie figures that I want multiples of to $5 CAN for 'cool' guys like Experienced Magneto or Hulk.  Ask your local games store if they plan on selling individual figures ornot (and maybe you'll give them a good idea <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> )Hope that helps.</blockquote>
