sadly, i do this exactly in REVERSE.
since i live in japan, i can only get american products (read: JOES!) online. i try to have friends pick stuff up for me at brick & mortars before i resort to websites, but that doesnt always work. especially with the shortage at B&M's lately. so far i have lucked out, and ALL of my 25th joes were purchased at B&M. same with movie TF's.i think the last toy i bought online was snow SE with timber. and it was on sale at brian's toys.
online retailers are only *slightly* less evil than scalpers, IMO. okay well maybe not, but it seems that way to me since they are my only option, and its not fair because i cant just pop into the neighborhood walmart.
i cant wait to move back to the states. i'm quite sick of this place.

sorry.
