That's me. With my busy schedule, I only get to shop for figures one day every two weeks, sometimes longer.
Considering that I've been able to complete POC waves 1-4, with half of wave 5, I think I've done very well so far.
Now, my next paragraphs are not to be taken with any anger or hostility whatsoever, so please don't read them as such.
As for being picky about paint apps, I've only become that way in the past 5 years, by hitting a bad luck streak with many of my toy purchases turning out to be defective from the factory (especially Transformers). Plus I hate having to return stuff as it means having to drive back. So that's where that comes from. So I have become accustomed to the habit of looking over an item very carefully before I decide to spend my hard earned money on it.
Also, I only buy 1 of a figure I want. Not 2 or 7 or 35, just one. So that is also a reason why I try to find the nicest one for my collection. I have left behind plenty of alley vipers, shock troopers, fireflys, snow jobs, recondos, quick kicks, spirits, wave 3 snake eyes, city Destros, skydives, shadow stalkers, lowlights, and general hawks behind for others to purchase. The same applies to vehicles.
Also considering how poorly the last 2 waves were distributed, I'm not upset. Many people on this board are in the same boat or worse, with some not even seeing figures past wave 2! I knew they would be hard to find, but never did I imagine they would be harder to find than wave 4. And so, a lesson learned is a lesson earned, and come next time, I'll be more focused and determined on trying to get the items I want, even if it means I'll have to buy online.
