I was wondering if many of you go through the same thing I do...
When your hunting for Joes, and actually find a new Wave, (be it singles, comic packs, vehicles & exclusives). Once you see and purchase at the present store, do you go check others stores hoping to find more Joe newness? Or are you content and rush home to break them out of there plastic prisons? I usual go check more stores hoping to find more especially when it comes to army builders. Yesterday I found the Wave 2 Sr Officers Pack at a TRU and checked three other TRUs hoping to find more but didn't. At least I got 2 sets one for me and another for a fellow 'Tanker'. So what do you do when you find Joe newness?

It's like gambling... You get a taste of win, and keep going for more. Haha.
If I find something, I usually hit up the other stores... Although it's either the last place I look, or the first place I look that I find stuff, then I go to other stores and find nothing. Usually I find stuff, but it's either the same old crap, or stuff I already have, which is as good in my book as "the same old crap". I usually get 1 carded of everything, then 1 of each that I want to open for an opener... Box condition on the latter doesn't matter, so I actually get excited when I find a box really F-ed up that I want as an opener... It means I don't feel as guilty opening it, cause the card's wasted anyways. I usually stick to a set driving radius though, try to make it less than 15 miles, and I've kinda figured out which stores will have goods and which won't, but you'd be surprised sometimes at the weird places you may find something, so it never hurts to check some more stores! Haha. |

With gas prices the way they are, and so little free time to go hunting anyway, I just order online now. I do miss the hunt, but I've never really scored anything too great to begin with anyway, so whatever.

I do that sometimes, especially if the stores are in a small radius to each other. Like when I check out TRU in Times Square, I'll usually walk over to Penn Station to check out K-Mart and then Kaybee in the Manhattan mall.
But sometimes if I find what I needed I'll just leave happy |

ROFL.
So true. If I actually find something it just inspires me to go looking for more even though I know the other places will have the same things at best. Just seeing GI JOE stuff make me happy. LOL. |

I prefer surfing the net and use promo codes over driving all around town wasting gas and racking up miles on my car.
