No joke, right? I still buy some figures at full retail, but usually those are either ones I know are hard to find (or will be harder to find, if they're from a brand-new wave), or if I'm getting them as a gift for a friend. The rest I'm fairly patient with, and get rewarded with up to 50% or more off. Either through in-store sales, online price drops, or my wife closely monitoring Amazon's prices. Sure, those last two are a gamble paint-wise, but outside of the occasional Misty Knight, the odds of getting really bad paint are pretty low.

I actually give a buddy of mine a ton of crap for his impatience with buying Transformers, because nine times out of ten, I'll hold off just long enough to either see them on sale at a store, or stumble on them at the discount chains (Ross, TJMaxx, etc).
