BBTS Pile of Loot Question

[Hellion42]

Funny, while I'm shopping for Joes I make $0 an hour. It doesn't really matter how much I make at work, since I'm not there, now does it?

That was intentional...simply because it is a little different from state to state, but yes, it does play an important factor. I'm sure there will be other small discrepancies (like gas prices) based on location and personal situations.

The time plays another factor but for me it doesn't play a HUGE role in my equation simply because I do most of my "hunting" in my free time. It isn't costing me much (time wise) because I do enjoy hunting from time to time. If it took me away from work/family/something important...then I would agree with you 100%. For me, it's good down time...but lately it seems there has been more "downtime" than usual (curse you re-releases!). It may be different for other folks.

POL is the best thing ever. I can't understand people that think they have to have the new figure the day it comes out.

Order from BBTS and you just don't have to worry about it... you'll get your figures. Ship it out every 4-6 months and it's like Christmas!

HTS and retail are just not comparable in any way because you can't pre-reserve your figs (well HTS does this in a very limited way sometimes).

Entertainment Earth is much more comparable, but every case you order is more expensive and then you have to add a $10 shipping charge on top and track all the separate shipments to make sure you get everything.

Customer service-wise, NOBODY beats BBTS. They are incredibly helpful and easy to deal with. Cancelling items is very easy (even after they come in), and they hold your stuff for free to save you shipping. What could be better???

I travel a lot so I usually find something cool. I don't order too much online, and I enjoy hunting and browsing.
