This stopped bugging me a while ago. Because I understand the reasoning behind it. And if I really want to complete a certain team, it's worth it to me even if the exclusives don't come with extra accessories. In any case it's still better than paying after market prices on exclusive. Those can be RIDICULOUS.
I missed out on a $75 ShinkenGreen(used, but only for display) a couple weeks ago. Made me sad. The next cheapest one I found was on ebay for $123 shipped. Stuff like Gaoh and Yuuki however have eluded me for ages because they've gone up in value.

This sums it up really well. The US market and how "hard" it is for us to get web exclusives doesn't play in. Seeing people bitch about exclusives gets kind of old when there's any number of middlemen (like Sentai Tamashii) to hook you up with these things. The prices may be inflated a bit when they're exclusive releases but again, if you lived in Japan, it doesn't matter much at all. As long as it's a team that not currently airing I completely understand why half or more have to be exclusive. Same can be said of the old Showa Riders.

Not all exclusives go up in price, some can be found for under retail on the regular. The Shinkengers are an exception though because of the shows popularity. They are not typical of exclusives or sentai figuarts in general

New Den-O Strike Form (Original) Sieg Imagin Neotrooper Zectrooper (Shadow) Bladeblade Gills Raider CycloneClyone/JokerJoker Kivaarrow CycloneAccel Xtreme Guard Chaser Faiz Axel Ridevendor G Den-O Birth CLAWS Burakawani OOO And a host of other exclusives regularly sell for retail or below None of these have appreciated. So to be fair for the most part, barring things like Yuuki Gaoh Rising Ultimate and a few others, the prices don't go too crazy high.

I'm just going for the Red Rangers from my favorite series. I don't have the money to pay 100 dollars for exclusives, and if I did, I'd rather buy the Robot Chogokins.
