For me it is retail or die... I never order anything... if I did... I don't think I could stop. LOL. Mostly Target, TRU, ROSS and LCS... Walmart is dead to me.

I find that Joes I buy while on the toilet mean more to me when I get them.

EBay pretty much. We have a spattering of RoC still at TRU's over here but that's it.

Yah me too, but I am starting to reach out to my fellow tankers, I am actually kicking my self because I bought something of ebay and later on in a thread I started I found out one of the posters is trying to get rid of the same item for a lot cheaper. I have given some stuff away but haven't completed any trades or buys but I will be spending more time in the BST treades. I have alot of antique stores here and they know me by name but never have anything good I do go to flea markets and garage sales but haven had any luck and I cleaned my local ross out a long time ago.

Well thanks to ROCs awesome success, BBTS and Entertainment Earth have been my suppliers.
Unless fellow 'Tankers' stash stuff for me at stores.

Deffinatly down with the BBTS. Chicago has been dry for a LONG time (Burnt by too much first wave ROC) occasionally I'll find some stuff at Walgreens, and even rarer is when I'll purchase it... But for the most part, I'll get my preorders in at BBTS, maybe a few extras of certain figures, then hunt for additional troop builders at Brick and Mortar. That way I at least have 1 of any given figure, luckily 2 if one is doubled up in a 12 pack, or I'll trade any unwanteds for extra Troop builders.
Hopefully that will change though with Retaliation. No Brick and Mortar store will risk the loss of sales (in all departments) by not ordering a movie line toy, and it'll be nice to see bulk Joes on pegs again. Especially if Retaliation toys are on par with POC/30th style. (I WILL buy a crapload of Flints, LJ, and Duke in desert camo... I'm guessing at least 5 of every figure if not more.) with main preorders, again, through BBTS, just to make sure.
