I always wondered, are there any 'Tankers' that absolutly refuse to order Joe stuff online? Retailers have no faith in the brand after ROC...and if we don't order onlline we're pretty much screwed.

90% of my new item purchases... as of now is on-line. I'm done hunting through brick and mortar stores wasting gas and time. If I run into something on my travels I'm happy. It's nothing like having it shipped right to my door.

It's online for me, we don't get much Joe product over here and when we do It's cheaper online even with shipping. Doesn't hurt that our dollars so strong at the moment either, touch wood.

I do both. I'd honestly rather by in store, but like you said retailers aren't carrying Joes as much anymore. ROC really did cripple the line.

I've been moving more toward buying online, but with the current 2 waves, there's nothing that compels me to order right away, so I'll wait and see if I see them at retail. If not, no biggie. Some things I'll wait and chance it at retail because it's just not that important for me to pay e-tail prices.

If I had to depend on B&M stores, I'd have an empty toy room.

I love toy hunting it's fun to me and while i have missed some stuff in the past which is most likely due to lack of funds then any thing else. I usually get what i want eventually. That said i would buy from online stores also but it's not my first choice.

My issue with ordering online is that other than army builders, I really want tomake sure I get a good paint job, and I hate not being able to pick through a few choices.

I only ordered from overpriced e-tailers as a last resort and still am that way. I honestly prefer to buy my items instores where i can physically inspect them for manufacturing defects, missing pieces etc. Online doesnt have that advantage, all you get is some stock photo. Plus online Seems to sell out in miliseconds. Despite retrailers lack of faith and dedication of space for joe i still prefer to get them in stores as opposed to online. Soon you wont be able to get ANYTHING instores and that will suck so i use online ordering ONLY as a last result.
