Are Lolbit plushies from 2017 rare???

I've heard the Lolbit plushies are rare, and I've seen them sell for shy of $200. I have no idea how to tell apart the "rare" ones, but apparently the "rares" are first wave (2017), and the "not rare" ones are from a second wave in 2019.

Can anyone confirm/elaborate on this??
