Where do you purchase your figures?

Hi again, it's newbie, Johnny akiba!
ジョニーさんはいいです。

I have been driving EVERYWHERE. From southern Wisconsin to Southern Chicago! I cannot find the figures I want! Destro & Breaker! or even some Star Wars Figures like Darth Revan. I see that many people online already have the newer March issued figures. Where do you all (yaw'll in Wild Bill's case.) find your figures more frequently?
Walmart?
Target?
Toys R us?
K-Mart?
or Online? (if so, where?)

Well Johnny, most of mine have been found at Target, Wal Mart and K Mart. I have only 1 thing from TRU, and i have just started ordering online. I have tried small joes, amazon, and bbts. So far no problems...

I have given up finding any figures at all at the retail level. Its just the area I guess but I'm done. Going 3-4 weeks with nothing then just getting 2 cases of wave 3 again, again and again became to frustrating. I have been hearing good things about online deals, which I'm about to start checking into myself.

I see...

EVERY Target, Walmart, etc. have been almost EMPTY. I get soo frusterated when I spend $20-$30 on gas and then come out empty handed. I actually had the Destro & Breaker 2-pack IN MY HANDS and still I let it slip away. Entirely my fault. Does anyone know if that 2-pack will be revised in a later release?

I cannot get over that Wild Bill picture I posted!! (LOL) AHAHAHAHA! He is too much I tell ya.

I found all the singles and comic packs between Target & WM and bought extra's at TRU(which never had any singles, until January).

I'm in canada so comic shops or online are the only way for me to get my joes.

Wow, no retail? What a drag. Online usually has better prices anyway.

I like the prices at Wall-Mart. Besides, a buddy of mine works in the toy department!
