Financially that is very taxing going to the big box stores that often. Wholly Crap.
I only get 2 of the various types such as eel, bat, paratrooper viper, etc. Too many starts to look very obsessive compulsive and i think the wife would flip anyways. I figure the comic packs and various other releases end up with variations of most of the figures for a better price per figure. That many trips to those stores definately increases spending, fuel consumption, vehicle mileage, etc. The price per figure is more than the sticker when you factor in time, gas and other intangables plus credit card purchases. I pop in randomly on the way home as they are nearby and have always found what I was looking for. I don't hunt as that makes you buy things you probably wouldn't have. back in the 90's collecting got the better of me and my credit cards. After that fiasco I don't charge any more unless it is an online purchase. Carrying credit card debt for figures in this climate is no bueano. Plus it drives up the price per figure. Just some advice from one who has been there.

I think that occassionally, but usually I'm able to self-analyze that I don't need them and walk away. Not always though.

I keep buying the Combat Heroes Duke/Cobra Soldier pack whenever I see it. I currently have 6 Cobra Soldiers. I don't need more but I like them so much I can't stop.

Oh, right now I'm picking up every Eel that I see.
I've only seen 2 in the wild, and have two coming from HTS, but I'll stop at 5. It's addictive, there's something wrong with us. |

Sometimes it is so devastatingly hard to leave a awesome new popular figure on the peg because I know it won't be there tomorrow, but I have been pretty strong so far. Haven't bought anything in a while and am just patiently waiting for the new G.I. Joe 5 pack to come out. |
