Here's another new poll. This time [if it hasn't been done already], I thought I would tap into Tankers minds on how where we purchase most of our Joe collectibles. Not too mention, I get rather annoyed with Tankers whining about not finding toys when most of us know why they are so hard to find.

I mainly collect vintage from 82-87 and I mostly get mine locally here in Georgia. A few brick & mortar stores and the rest out of someone's garage. Occasionally, I will get a few online.
As for newer collectibles, getting insider info from the employees in stores on what days/time they receive their stock and try to time it so you can get first dibs. Outside of that probably online. |

I dabble in a bit of all of those, but my collecting is mostly split between online and retail. I get a lot of my htf figures through trades, and I usually go to ebay for parts I need for customs.

trading with collector friends, who do most of the hunting. sometimes i buy from them too since many have collections that run laps around mine.
occasional online purchase when there's a few bucks in the paypal acct. |

The reason I came up with this poll was after reading new thread from the other. The Tanker was whining about where to purchase GI Joes because he was unable to locate any in store in his community. So, I figured a poll would allow Tankers to decide what might work for them based on responses from fellow Tankers. I appreciate the responses thus far.
I, myself haven't shopped much online in a while. So all my POC/ 30th collection has been strictly retail but at drug stores like Walgreens, Rite Aid and CVS.

I used to shop mostly online, but I've been finding more at retail lately. I guess it's a good mix of ebay and retail but that's always subject to change.
