Maybe, just me, but sometimes fresh air and finding that figure (stoked to find Carnage) in the wild does my some good...Not trying to sound sappy, but you collectors get my drift...Well, find that figure and collect, collect, collect, but do not going in to debt, Ha!

I like "getting" things at retail, but not chasing them around blindly. I call ahead before going anywhere nowadays and have someone put the item I'm looking for on hold, and it's worked out a lot better than randomly sweeping all the stores in an area. The only stores I don't bother calling (or even going to) are Wal-Mart and TRU; their employees seem to have almost zero knowledge about what's going on in their stores or how to find anything in them.
