I used to enjoy the hunt. However, I have the absolute worst luck with things. The more badly I want something (It doesn't matter how common or rare it is), is the instant it becomes impossible to find. If I seriously decided I wanted Tuner Mudflap, they would all vanish from my area (And I'm sadly not kidding). And then all online stores would get rid of their stock... and then ebay prices would suddenly skyrocket to *juuuuuust* outside my range.
I enjoy a moderate hunt... but those hunts rarely bare fruit for me. And in this day and age, it's getting much harder to find particular figures in general, due to box retailers POS screwing up distribution (I never found RtS Jazz in the wild. I have two, one was bought from BBTS, and the other from evilbay. Never found a single one out there), and companies deciding stupid ways to pack their toys (like the recent target exclusive TFs. One Spacecase, one Arcee, and 6 Bumblebees or so).

This day and age, the costs of hunting (Fuel prices), and deminishing rewards has taken all the fun out of hunting. I no longer enjoy spending literally an entire year week after week, searching for one particular toy.
I'd rather pre-order the damn things on BBTS.
