yes. Network. What's the worst that can happen? You still don't find the figure but you found a new friend? What's the best that can happen? Both. look if you read all the threads here you will see a bunch of people who are willing to help eachother out. Branch out. Look around.

Amen yo that, Echo.
I'm looking to have a get together in my state just to shake the hands of those who have helped me and to share a laugh or two with all the great folks that are members here. Watch out for Dream though. Rumor has it that he's been slaughtering collectors in hopes of helping availability in his area. |

it's tough being a toy collector. I rolled out to a Target that I don't usually go to because the scalpers are lined up outside as the door opens, and was privy to an entertaining wrestling match between a collector and a scalper over a HISS Driver. in the end the card was bent and neither wanted it. all I wanted was the damn wave 4 comics, which they didn't have.
scalpers are just part of the hobby. online really is the way to go, especially when you consider the price of gas nowadays. that, or as has been said, network. through Hisstank I've created a nice size of friends who can usually find what I cannot (I'm sure many of you are shocked at the thought that I have friends -- well I do!). I like finding them myself, but it reassures me knowing that if I don't I have means to get them otherwise. |

*EDIT* Opened this back up. Discussion shouldn't be stopped. Let's see where this goes...
-------------------------- Sorry for your luck, but someone beat you to the figures, simply put. I understand that you work 60 hours a week which makes it really tough, so perhaps visiting the sightings thread here and working on a network in your local area would help. At the end of the day though, anyone with money in their pocket has the right to buy whatever they want, when they want. This question isn't pointed at you, Duff..just a generalized statement: Who's more selfish? The person who buys a bunch of something with their hard earned money...or the person that walks in behind them and is angry that they couldn't buy a bunch of something themselves? Keep in mind,...wave 8 has been out for what? a week or two now? You'll find what you're looking for. Everyone wants everything right now...not even taking in to consideration that theres 3489753489753489 other people looking for these RIGHT NOW too. or if he is that 'desperate' he should take some of that extra money from working all those hours or over time and pay the cost + shipping always offered on the board. i have seen everthing but vipers, hiss drivers, and major bludd offered here in the last week @ cost. and even vipers and hiss i have been able to get for less than 10$ a figure Hell I had the entire SET OF wav 8 and wav 7 here for 8$ each + shipping in a full set so if this guy can't find it thats just tuff I think in this society all the 'spoiled brats' are to used to getting what they want. Then "when they don't" They go on a rant and rave, and bitch and piss and moan creating a 40+ page thread about "woah is me." I have only one thing to say to the moaners and complainers. CALM DOWN AND S.T.F.U. You will get it when you get it, not one minute before. Ed Mcmahon is not going to ring your doorbell and hand you waves 7-9. The only way to get is to stop flapping your gums and starts hitting the streets. Complaining and bitching will get you NO WHERE. All it does it start huge threads of non sense. No one is saying your not "allowed" to bitch or complain But what I am saying is well............... this pic will say it all better that I could. P.S. "This one's FOR YOU!

I have another member's number in my phone and I call him when I find something. He does the same. It's no big deal to pick something up and have your friend pay you back when they see you. Work together and you get what you want.
