nothing to report. uuugghhh!!!!
i am getting a little tired of the hunt. since my son got into action figs ,starting with tmnt (which drove me nuts , but managed to collect the ENTIRE 2k collection,every vehicle,fig set, and variant),and then gijoe (thank god! my fav as kid next to voltron), its killing me. while i do enjoy the thrill of the hunt , its daunting. the f'ed up thing is , he dont even really play with them, he never really did, ps3-wii-dsiXL-xbox is what he does all the time. i guess getting these joes are almost more for me as to remember the kid days (and the joes are cool). but the point of this little rant is , i think from now on i am just going to order pre-sales on line. does anyone else do this? does it work out well? |

might go in that direction with these waves coming up. They come out to be the same price or cheaper than the stores and you save money on gas.

Sightings: PoC Firefly in the Hazlet/Middletown Target. I left him there.
RoC Covergirl in the Hazlet Walgreens on Rte. 35. She was $10.99, so I left her there. I have both hunted and ordered online. Ordering online is a waiting game and a bit more expensive, but as many have said, with gas prices are going up, it is making more sense to order online. Hunting, though, has turned up cheaper figures I would not have found for the same deals online (HoH figures, some really cool RoC stuff). I also only hunt by hitting stores that are on my way to other places. The only problem woth online ordering is that with most army-builder/popular figures, you will need to order cases which could include multiples of figures you do not want. When the popular single card figures are made available at BBTS or other places, you need to be there right away to put your order in or they will be sold out. Usually, sold out in minutes. It's ridiculous. I don't mind buying by the case of PoC since I like to have multiples and really like most of the figures. |

I only basically hunt in places I'm going for other reasons anyway.
Once in a blue moon I go crazy and hit some places out of my normal grounds. And then every few months or so I drive south and my buddy and I do a ROSS run. |

This is pretty much it for me. Granted, sometimes I'll modify my other tasks in such a way that it makes sense to go to a toy-heavy area but for the most part my going-out-to-buy-toys trips are done for now. |
