Lol well once you order one online (like I did for $35) you are sure to find one for retail (like I did, on sale for $9). Now I have to figure out what to do with the expensive version if/when it ever arrives

Or pray that later waves of Earthrise feature re-releases the way some of the Battlemasters (and Astrotrain) are getting a second life.
Honestly, I wish Hasbro would figure out that this sort of late-wave scarcity seems like it's almost always a problem (I'm looking at you, PotP Novastar) and perhaps tighten up the release schedule to a set 4 waves (Christmas, March-ish, June-ish, and about September). It should surprise no one that stores are probably not going to want to take fresh stock of a soon-to-be-discontinued product in like late October/November when they've probably still got oodles of earlier stuff that hasn't moved yet and are going to end up doing a slash and burn clearance when the calendar rolls over.
Sorry. I think I've been holding that rant in for a while, lol.
