exactly!!!!!!!! when i was a kid, cutting the corner on the Joe AISLE, thats right, the entire aisle!!, and seeing new figs of characters you didnt even know was the greatest feeling.
and since there were more than enough to go around, you could pass on that guy you were on the fence about, and get a figure you think youd like better...but youd go back next week and get the other guy!
now lets be honest here, why is this hobby so frustrating and somewhat diffucult? internet......ebay specifically.
be happy the internet wasnt around in the 80s....kept it fun for when we were kids.
