He's not part of this wave. I only bought him and GR in hopes they would restock because they would have been the last two on the pegs

Badrumble 10-04-2011 12:05 PM

Hey Do-Boy...sooooo I guess im supposed to be impressed huh ? lol..shit.

ORIO 10-04-2011 12:11 PM

EXCELLENT. The hunt is on!

Nexodusrex 10-04-2011 12:19 PM

I Have to ask, cause i'm one of those guys who buys from BBTS and in response to your title "this is why I dont pay online prices"

How much did you spend in gas to get those figures?

$0 in gas. Would someone else like to explain why or should I?

I buy from BBTS because I get anxious about not being able to find what I want at retail.

It was the same way for my brother when he collected Star Wars figures.

For me its all about having all the toys I wanted as a kid, or could possibly want, so that when I retire and the kids move out, and the wife and I have settled into a comfortable routine of not paying each other attention, I can finnaly sit down and have the mother of all "plays" with my toys.

And don't forget the Gas card! That's actually the main factor lol. I could do with out the car. But hey, who's complaining :)

wbcollect 10-04-2011 12:48 PM

depends on what online prices you are referring to, we are generally cheaper than stores including walmart

just saying

He has a company car and gas card. Also his boss is cool with him collecting and a lurker here. Herrrrroooooooooo, where have you been Nex?!?!?!?!

Nexodusrex 10-04-2011 12:56 PM

eh. I hate the hunt. I spend way too much, not to mention I live in Dayton and Dayton normally gets the stuff after everybody else. just got wave 4 yesterday.

thats why I go to BBTS, and sell of whatever I dont want to my LCBS or Arkers who want them.

good haul though.

Ok so The three I got from the new waves. The guardians MOC and MIB shipped to Houston? You can do 40 shipped?

RexLewis85 10-04-2011 12:59 PM

Man...makes me want to go to walmart even worse, and a new one just opened up about 30 minutes from where I live. As I've said I usually go on the hunt when my family or my friends decide to go to walmart..and that hasn't happened in awhile. BTW Do, that guardians pack is sweet...I think I must have it for Drax and even Star Lord looks awesome. I could do without Rocket Raccoon though.

Lol thank you sir. But to be fair. I have only mentioned my boss once. Also this thread wan't just based on price but also speed. I didn't have to pay extra just to get it before anyone else.

xhavoc86 10-04-2011 01:06 PM

ohhh awesome find!

wbcollect 10-04-2011 01:07 PM

yep
when i list the guardians they will be $15ish and 6.99 to 7.99 on the others so yea $40 is very doable shipped

im not looking to pick a fight here if thats where this is going im just pointing i work hard to keep prices low and didn't want to be lumped in with all those other site that charge astronomical prices

CLASSIFIED 10-04-2011 01:08 PM

My boss likes it when I spend most of the day posting on toy forums instead of doing work, but hates it when I use the company car and gas card to make toy runs.

That said, Do Boy, could you run over to Wal-Mart for me and pick up a few things?

No fighting here. I'm just trying to get the best price on my figures and get them the fastest way possible. Alright lets make a deal. I'll pm you my address and I'll paypal you the money

Reaver Strike 10-04-2011 01:11 PM

It seems that either Hasbro is getting the items out quicker or WM has been sitting on them and decided to put them out. The shopping season is getting closer.

You guys do have some nice prices. I've never gone all the way through (checkout) to see what shipping is like, but if it's standard USPS I have an idea. I'll keep you guys in mind.

ditto neither have I. I just assumed most everyone gets there money one way or the other. Markups or shipping. Sometimes both. I still need magneto and Absorbing man. So I'll send him a PM.

It's still going to be tough for me to spend anything over retail though.. I don't have your sweet setup with the co car and gas card, but I do have the unfortunate 45 minute commute to work every day.. the good part of that is that I pass by 2 TRU's, 2 Targets, and 3 Walmarts, on the way.

..and I'm pretty sure Mags will be a shelf-warmer.
