He's not part of this wave. I only bought him and GR in hopes they would restock because they would have been the last two on the pegs

I Have to ask, cause i'm one of those guys who buys from BBTS and in response to your title "this is why I dont pay online prices"

How much did you spend in gas to get those figures?

I buy from BBTS because I get anxious about not being able to find what I want at retail.

It was the same way for my brother when he collected Star Wars figures.

For me its all about having all the toys I wanted as a kid, or could possibly want, so that when I retire and the kids move out, and the wife and I have settled into a comfortable routine of not paying each other attention, I can finnaly sit down and have the mother of all "plays" with my toys.

eh. I hate the hunt. I spend way too much, not to mention I live in Dayton and Dayton normally gets the stuff after everybody else. just got wave 4 yesterday.

thats why I go to BBTS, and sell of whatever I dont want to my LCBS or Arkers who want them.

good haul though.

Man...makes me want to go to walmart even worse, and a new one just opened up about 30 minutes from where I live. As I've said I usually go on the hunt when my family or my friends decide to go to walmart..and that hasn't happened in awhile. BTW Do, that guardians pack is sweet...I think I must have it for Drax and even Star Lord looks awesome. I could do without Rocket Raccoon though.

Lol thank you sir. But to be fair. I have only mentioned my boss once. Also this thread wan't just based on price but also speed. I didn't have to pay extra just to get it before anyone else.

My boss likes it when I spend most of the day posting on toy forums instead of doing work, but hates it when I use the company car and gas card to make toy runs.

That said, Do Boy, could you run over to Wal-Mart for me and pick up a few things?

No fighting here. I'm just trying to get the best price on my figures and get them the fastest way possible. Alright lets make a deal. I'll pm you my address and I'll paypal you the money

It seems that either Hasbro is getting the items out quicker or WM has been sitting on them and decided to put them out. The shopping season is getting closer.

You guys do have some nice prices. I've never gone all the way through (checkout) to see what shipping is like, but if it's standard USPS I have an idea. I'll keep you guys in mind.

ditto neither have I. I just assumed most everyone gets there money one way or the other. Markups or shipping. Sometimes both. I still need magneto and Absorbing man. So I'll send him a PM.

It's still going to be tough for me to spend anything over retail though.. I don't have your sweet setup with the co car and gas card, but I do have the unfortunate 45 minute commute to work every day.. the good part of that is that I pass by 2 TRU's, 2 Targets, and 3 Walmarts, on the way.

..and I'm pretty sure Mags will be a shelf-warmer.
