So I need some advise, and I'm curious what other people on here would do in this situation. I'm trying to decide between buying a Wave 6 case on BBTS.com or going toy hunting.
This is the case I'm thinking about: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...41&mode=retail I need 6 of the 8 figs, but would end up with an extra Serp & BeachHead. Case cost per fig is $7. What would you do? Why? Would you take the sure thing and reasonable cost per fig of the case, or jump into the thrill of the hunt and keep looking in stores/online for just the 6 I need (possibly cheaper loose, as I'm an opener anyway)? Decisions, decisions... |

I usually hunt, I rarely order online man. Thrill of the hunt is irreplaceable, but I find the best way is to look on random days after stocking, not the stock days every week, as this not only wastes gas but usually ends up with us coming out empty handed.

Well, since its still a preorder, I'd say reserve the case. You can always add them to a pile of loot and cancel the order if you find the figures in a store later on. Even if the figures come in at BBTS, you can remove them from your pile of loot and have the money refunded to you.

preorder, and use an old Target reciept to return the extra two figs. Target doesn't use separate codes for each figure anymore.

Should you choose to, you can cancel the order even after the items are in your pile of loot. In which case they refund the money to you. I don't know if they charge a restocking fee or not though. Now once you've told them to ship the item, they usually ship in the next business day or so. Quote:

If I were desperate, I'd buy the case then sell what I didn't need want.
But truthfully its what you feel comfortable doing. If you know you don't have the extra cash to spend all @ once go hunting. Or vice versa, if you don't have the extra time go hunting. I dunno discuss............ |

I say pre-order, then if you find them in the store cancel the order. If the thrill of the hunt is what you enjoy you'll always have a back up plan with the pre-orders. Good luck to you. Yo Joe!!!

Pre-order, I never find anything while hunting. I have a lot of stores in my area too, just horrible luck.
