Oh hell yes! Military stuff is pretty easy to come by having been re-released ounder their numerous toylines and store exlcusive lines, but looking for their space, western, fantasy, or pirate items can be a chore, and finding a specific figure or accessory is near impossible.
Exactly: the amount of time I've spent searching futilely for those themed Chap Mei items is frankly depressing. And, on the rare occasion I find one, they're also weirdly expensive, considering how inexpensive they are on the shelves. I hunted for one of those skeleton-head treasure caves for years, and when I finally found one for sale, it was pricier than most vintage Joe stuff. I mean, yeah, I bought it, but I felt guilty about paying that much for it.

Yeah, the Egypt/Mummy stuff especially. Wanna say I saw ONE set at a big lots when I was traveling (too big to put in my luggage) and never saw any ever again.
And their playsets are SO good.
I've been looking for that tomb one forever. Whoever's designing their playsets really has a great feel for what goes into making a fun toy.
