I go either way. I preorder things 1st and when I find them in store I cancel my order, no prob. Its also a lot easier just to buy online but hunting can be fun(when you find stuff).

I love the hunt from store to store, but lately I've started to get creeped out by this one older dude at my local stores. If I go around 7-8 in the morning, he is always there popping out from around the end of the aisle with his stocking cap on ready to pounce on me cause he thinks I'm going to get something before he does. He looks like a psyco, and so I'll leave and go to another store, and guess what, he's friggin there too!! Then another!! This dude is creepy and has no shame man!! And all the times I've seen him, I still cant figure out what he's looking for.

Seriously I'd maybe get some pepper spray if I were you.

I will hunt from dawn till dusk for the Joes at retail. But if nothing comes about and HTS has the figures and a code.. well then there you have it. So i am both.

If I wanted to be robbed I would walk down a block In new york. I don't need to buy online.

I prefer to go to the stores but I will also buy online, although rarely have I gone to eBay recently.

funny i dont mind buying ARAH off ebay. but new stuff i 'should' be getting in stores i wont.
cost really is a factor. most shipping is near $7 bucks a figure. even 3-4 figs plus being online adds over retail price.looking at about 12-14 for a new fig.pass store for me. but looks like i'll have to go online for the 7 pack. |

With the "pile of loot" thing BBTS has, it HELPS on shipping but yeah shipping (from HTS UGH!) is a pain.
At the same time, it is really nice to get an unopened case of figures all at once. I still check my toy isles whenever I go to Target, but I have noticed I don't stop by Toys R Us as much, or anywhere else JUST to check for Joes anymore. If something new is coming out I'll usually pre-order it online if possible to save the headache. It may also be that there is NEVER ANYTHING NEW ON THE PEGS for me to buy... just damn Cobra Flint.. all Cobra Flint.. so many Cobra Flints.... le sigh. |

I tend to look in stores first and only buy stuff if I can't find it anywhere. I did buy many extra loose characters from Outer Rim and when I buy minimates I get them all online because nowhere I go sells them. I tend to buy online too if I missed that certain wave and can't find them in the store anymore...like Serpentor's Chariot and the Armadillo. I passed on that so many times and now I want it!!
