Same goes for
Watching the tracking number show that it's out for delivery en route to you or walking into to Target and seeing Torpedo and Wild bill knowing you just missed wave 9...again. |

As far as online purchases Target at $7.99 a figure with salestax of 8 figures comes to $69.19, Walmart at $6.84 comes up to to $59.24 for 8 plus salestax I would spend at least $5 just for a gallon of gas spent may go higher if I have to drive further.There are a couple cases I have pre-ordered from EE and BBTS when they were still 49.99 plus about $9 shipping worked up to be about $58.99 so I did pay less online for the same exact wave 8 cases I bought at retail.Yes most of the time it doesn't work out this way and I pay more by only a fraction of maybe $2-3 compared to retail.
Now on to the wishing the whole aisle was filled with Joes.A lot of people say "I remember when I was a kid" when you can get whatever you want.This isn't the 80's anymore when the Joe line was the number 1 boys toyline, had a regular cartoon ,comic book line to support it and constant advertising everywhere.Just because you the adult collector wants the whole entire toy aisle to be filled with Joes it aint gonna happen(well at least not till the new G.I.Joe movie comes out).Trust me I would love to see that too but I'm no longer a child and Hasbro is first and foremost a toymaker for children the adult collector is secondary.Today's kids are after toys like Ben 10,Power Rangers,etc. and I'm just happy Hasbro even brought this toyline out.So all in all it might get frustrating to not find the toys right away but it is still and always be fun to get them eventually |

Im all about the hunt here in Jacksonville,FL. I never pre order any domestic figures and the only time I use BBTS is to order import Transformers or Star Wars. I hit 2 Targets and 1 Walmart between 8am -9am every weekday morning on my way into work and most of the time I am the first one there to check out whats been put out overnight. Every now and then I will miss a score at Walmart because someone hit it late at night/ early morning but its never a big deal because I know I will eventually come across it.

I keep going to the same K-Mart across from work nearly everyday. They aren't getting new stuff constantly, but compared to the lame Toys R Us, two Wal-Marts and Target in town, they are like a Hasbro warehouse.
