Heck, knowing that some people will not give others a chance to find certain figs is sometimes almost enough to be discouraged from going out and looking and eventually wasting gas.
I really do understand your point, but it does come across as a little selfish and inconsiderate towards the collecting community.
Is that to mean I'm a fool for say, leaving a 25th BAT on the peg at TJMaxx/Marshalls when they have 2 or 3 because I know other collectors might want one too? Am I a fool for trying to help out other collectors that I may not know/not have met yet?
A tip of where to find certain figs is one thing, hence this thread. Even picking up the occassional 2 at a time because you know someone who doesn't have one will pay you back because they can't be there for whatever reason is understandable; but to make it so that mainly only one or two people need to be contacted to arrange getting those figs might be seen as monopolizing or hoarding by some who don't share your views. Plus there's not always the option of scheduling a meet up or paying extra for shipping.
One of the great joys of collecting is finding the object of ones desire on their very own fruition.
Again, I get what you're saying; however, your wording gives the impression of a lack of respect towards others in general, which hurts the integrity of your argument, but also doesn't lighten the frustration others have had in not being able to find certain figs.
Not at all trying to start anything, just trying to show another perspective.
And to keep this relevant to the thread: 5 Vamps, 4 black dragons(with different stamped #s on the back, not 119 nor 165), 2 Hazard Vipers, 5 IG and a bunch of Stalkers at Worcester Walmart.
See I don't understand this concept at all... Your saying you will go hunt around which wastes time and gas going from store to store instead of driving to someones house or public place and getting the fgures off said person eliminating all the time you would waste looking for and being dissappointed by not finding the stuff.. That is why I myself with DGNR82, Fast Draw, Air Tight, and others have such a strong network.. When we find stuff we grab it.. Plenty of times DNGR82 has posted extra figures which he still has and is willing to help out selling for cost or trade. No one says "Hey I need..." People just complain about not finding them.. Just go to him...
"One of the great joys of collecting is finding the object of ones desire on their very own fruition."
Sad to say but it's going to be damn hard finding hard to find figures. When I get tips I let people know where the figures are and they usually go and get them. This is the reason why we formed this Network...Me I rather meet up with people if their giving it to me for cost and plus you can shoot the shit about Joes with cool people. The last option is buying them online...
