Oh, I don't mind BBTS. I love the amount of care they put into shipping products out, but I don't want to pay more than $22 for Ripley. As such, I would rather get her from Amazon with Prime. Thinking about it though, I'll just wait to see her in stores first since I will want to check out the paint jobs since I have yet to see a Bishop that had a good one.

Plus, to be honest, I'm starting to think my reason for buying the Alien line last summer was more of an impulse "I love these movies so much" type of thing more than my actually wanting to collect them. As such, I want to make sure this is a line I really do want to collect and seeing Ripley in stores before I buy her might help me determine that.

I don't have that kind of patience. I already had to wait for the figures to come out for several months, but not having it in my hand the moment it comes out is even more frustrating. That is one of the reasons I would rather be able to buy everything I want in person at a store rather than online. I want instant gratification. I don't like buying something I can not touch as I pay for it.
