Never give up! I just completed wave 5 thanks to the help of members here & there. There's definitely more than enough figures to go around, so it's just a matter of looking out for one another, like WW said.

Hi Jinx,
It sounds like to me that you have toy hunting addiction (the bad one), that myself and others have had. I've been there before and like yourself, I had to step away and re-evaluate things (and was out of it for a year). But I know where you're at and the desperation of wanting things and the competitiveness that drives you to wanting to be at the stores before the others get it, it becomes wreckless and now it's affecting your job and your life. I'm not here to tell you what to do but the best thing I can tell you is that when you know things are going bad (and I'm sure there is more to the story than what you posted), step back and re-evaluate things in your life and know what is important. As others have said, you can depend on other collectors to help you, you can go online. There are other choices you can make. But I can tell it may go deeper than that and I've been in your position before. A few of us on here have been there before. So, whatever direction you choose, good luck to you!

Hey man.
Keep your head up. When the hunt gets to be no fun, and for me it isnt anymore, use the internet. Preorder from BBTS , which doesnt charge your card until it ships...then shop casually and if you find your figures...cancel the preorder. OR use Ebay. i got a flash, snowjob and 2 CGs for forty bucks. Yeah i paid too much for them big whoop. Id spend that in gas in 3 days looking for joes.So just cut out the HUNT and enjoy the GET. |

These figures will be readily available in some time. Its not worth being late to work and getting in trouble over them.
I know the feeling of going home empty handed after searching all over the place numerous times. Money that could have been for the latest wave of joes instead goes to gas, and still no joes. Its a terrible feeling. However I've learned to wait it out. In my experience, the stuff I usually look for is found when I don't scramble to look for it. Its not worth the anxiety and stress to get the figures ASAP. If you crave having these ASAP, I do suggest preordering a case, and selling the figures you don't want. If you want the thrill of the hunt, I would say wait it out, hunt after saturation hits, and don't let it become a priority. Quote:

I say just wait it out. Last year, wave 1 of the 30th Star Wars took almost 3 months before it got to the point people were finding them.
Stores are not ordering full amounts due to inventory time and resets. After February, we should see TONS of stuff sitting around. Hasbro said they are doubling the production these due to it's demand. I think things will cool down soon enough for everyone to get what they want. If you can hold off on the anxiety of the gotta have it now mentality, you'll be alright. |
