Yeah, it's not really like this in my area. The new stuff comes and disappears off shelves and pegs as soon as the store opens. If for whatever reason (school, work, etc.), you can't be there at 9 AM, no amount of patience is going to help you find in-demand figures at retail.

Now, if you're talking about patience for the figures to show up on HTS.com or TRU.com or go down in price on eBay, then that applies to me.
