We always have to pay more.

That sucks. There was one comic book store I'd go to once a month due to having a box of comics I was set to get every month, but since last year I have only been once or twice. They were really awesome on their markups, like maybe $2 usually. I remember finding the HB wave and everything was #22 plus tax which was great. They also were very fair about the rarer figures, way back when in the Toy Biz legends day, they had the limited produced Scarlet Witch for $14, which was only $2 more than the rest of the figures they had from that wave.

I wasn't finding the same level of outstanding prices elsewhere in the area, but this one shop really was great.

Unrelated notes: What with the new house coming along, and in preparation for a display area, I have invested in some of those Tamashii effects. I ordered about 8 different pieces and look forward to using them when I have the display. Thank you for all that have inspired me, and you know who you are! And Von, I believe it was you, I'm totally going to do the Jean Grey vs. Sabretooth scene....
