I complain about not finding things - but I am not a "hunter". If I happen to be out and about, I might stop and look... but I don't make purposeful hunting trips. I charge my clients $125 / hr minimum... so it doesn't make sense for me to spend that time hunting a $20 figure. I get your opinion. |

In fairness I’m in the minority with my view on retail. The majority of these post are talking about buying them at retail and why most are pissed off they can’t find them on pegs . Just go back 1000 pages.
The thing is, and for whatever reason, since I don’t share your and most everyone else’s view you feel the need to single out my opinion. In reality, think about what your time is worth. Simmer on that before your next failed attempt hunting empty pegs 1) Opinions are meant to be agreed or disagreed upon. The moment you put your opinion in public you have to expect to get both sides on you. If you think you're gonna play a victim because your opinion might not be a popular one then you might not want to put it in public. Just saying. I have a lot of opinions about things that I'd rather not deal with fallout for so in general unless I'm already talking about such things, I don't find it worth it to be always forward with what I think abotu things.' 2) Your opinion just isn't necessarily a popular one. I mean I get you. I eBayed a Trooper and Beach head because goddamn it I wanted them. But I would not go on about "Oh hey just get them online, haha, it's easy!" Because let's be brtually honest...it fucking SUCKS to have to pay 100+ for a figure that you SHOULD have gotten for 20 bucks. TARGET fucked all of us. If anyhting else were different, most of us would have half a dozen Troopers, Vipers, then Sneeden, Firefly, and Baroness for retail and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. I disagree that it's easy. It might be easy for you in your situation to drop 3 digit money on Classified figure but I would presume that for most people that isn't a good financial idea. I mean, I CAN afford to ebay a whole squad of Troopers and Vipers at eBay prices, but it doesn't mean it's a good deal. There's other things I want to buy. Guns, ammo, Transformers, womens clothes and shoes... So buying Troopers and Vipers at these heavily scalped prices means I can't buy as many of the other things I want to buy. I got the Trooper and Beachy because I was desperate, not that I thought it was a good idea. So again, just sayin'. I'm not against you and I agree that if you REALLY NEED these guys, eBay them and skip the heartache. But I just don't think it's a good idea financially. |

I don't want to get off topic of the argument but even though
I didn't find any joes today, I did find a castle grayskull, so that made me happy. Resume

I did. Probably 95% of what I get I open anymore. The only exceptions are when the package art is so cool that I get it specifically for the overall presentation. So far nothing recent in the joe world fits that criteria.
Actually, my pulse exclusive Cobra Commander will probably stay in the box behind the regular version opened when I get it as I really like how it displays that way in the photos I've seen online (it's still at my friends house).

Baroness is passing the $200 price on eBay. What is its ceiling?
Probably unattainable for most. Too bad because it might be the best sculpt of the Classified line. |

Look I'm not against you but you have to understand two things:
1) Opinions are meant to be agreed or disagreed upon. The moment you put your opinion in public you have to expect to get both sides on you. If you think you're gonna play a victim because your opinion might not be a popular one then you might not want to put it in public. Just saying.

Doesn’t matter if I think driving all over a state for a fucking toy is dumb. Buy what you want. Buy what you love. Stop complaining you can’t find it. Online shopping is the future for toys. All simple.
