And had I re-bought all of them, that's $6 for 7 figures, $42 bucks out of my own pocket I just saved. (Not that I did that).

You have no idea what my morals and perspectives are . I am flattered that you would assume I have morals .

I feel bad for the nice people I meet along the way who are going along with the whole thing. I have a terrible knack for giving everyone the benefit of the doubt beyond when they've earned it.

You: "Hold on..there is a catch..you have to goto WalmartA and buy a figure..then drive 5 miles to WalmartB..get in the return line and return the figure..then go home. Two days later I need you to return to WalmartB and head to the toy isle and see if the figure has been returned to stock. Hopefully somebody didnt buy it before you get back there! Now goto the register to pay for it..it MAY have been marked at the discounted price!!! IT's that easy!!

ME: Here's your 6 bucks back.

Haha. See, to me, I'm driving to all the Walmarts in town looking for new stock anyway, so I'm already there, I may as well do something along the way.

When you look at your collection, cant you see that the GOAL was to have the stuff and not to save money?

My personal goal is to have the best collection I can for the absolute cheapest I can.

Anyway, here is a helpful site if you run across any other mysterious acronyms. It helps me sometimes when I read online tech white papers:

Abbreviations and acronyms dictionary: Find definitions for over 4,219,000 abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms

I agree with the risk being too high on figures I absolutely need, and thanks for the link!

That's a decent idea, but I'd have to somehow know they had a discount price without seeing it posted anywhere...
