I think forums and toy sites definitely benefit the hobby.
You learn so much more about the topic, you find out what's going to be coming out, you find out where to find them, and it helps feed the addiction. You also get to chat with other collectors and discuss topics such as this. Plus there are a lot of people who are willing to get figures for other people at store cost as well. So forums and sites definitely do good.
Agreed. I wouldn't be into half of the shit I'm into if it wasn't for this damn site and everyone's awesome pictures and reviews. I love the hobby though.
