I almost always buy the things I want when I find them (online or at retail). I've paid more than retail on a few and less on a couple. I just find myself only buying the things I really want at this point.
I don't collect SW, but as far as the UBP goes...there just isn't really anything that interests me in that package. If I saw it really cheap, then I might buy it. Isn't that better than not buying it all? I would think so. edit: overall, the pack is a good deal when you break it down, but I just wish there was more in it that I didn't already have in some shape or form.

I don't need any more repaints. It'd be 28 bucks for short fuze. I have a mobat, they didn't change that. I have a hiss, i have a bubble, i have a stalker, i have a destro, i have a commander, i have no black troopers so that doesn't even work as a troop builder. I don't have a steeler, but I don't like that version anyway. I don't need another serpentor, so I don't have the other version either. Hasbro makes collecting pretty frustrating.

I just wanted to applaud those that supported the future of the toy line by purchasing the UBP at $63.99 or the BMF for $159.99. Much like you, I actually bought both the day err… morning and technically midnight of their release. Although I was fortunate to find a few BMF’s for $34.98 and several UBP’s for $27.48, thanks DOC, I honestly value the BMF and UBP’s I bought several months ago far more so than my recent purchases.
Oh and for the record I did buy my boy a UBP at full price, however the clearance price was too good to pass up and I adjusted it.

Better product from Hasbro = Better chance me buying at the minute of release. The UBP did not meet the standards for "good" product IMHO.

I paid full price for the UBP...
Weird thing is, now that I have the cash, I'd pay full price for the BMF, but can't find one anywhere around me. |

I love sales. I love clearance sales even more. Sometimes stuff I bought at full price goes on clearance. I do a little internal facepalm, wishing I'd waited... then I remember all the stuff I bought that never made it to clearance. And there's plenty of stuff I buy at less than retail. So I guess it all evens out. |

Value is more important to me. I want to feel like I have my moneys worth. Some lines feel like you are getting a good product for your money. Transformers for $7.77 at Wal Mart...check. $7 for a single Gi Joe figure that's half the size...not so much. I found the Ghost Hawk and Sting Raider yesterday and was on the fence about buying them. I caved in but have yet to decide if I got my moneys worth or not. It has been like this with Joes a lot lately. I am waiting for the movie stuff to hit so I can take a break and hopefully get recharged.

Well I bought a few UBP when they first came out at 62.99 but seeing as I keep all my receipts, I went and bought the same amount as soons as they went down to $38 and returned those with my 62.99 receipt, the thing is just a ripoff at $63 and seeing as they are cluttering the shelf, even at 38, I was getting some of my money back.
