I love looking for figs cause I never know what I am going to see. And the badass feeling of finding something you have been wanting.
The other day at TRU I grabbed E19 Bryan and this dude starts talking about how he just got Liz. It's always cool meeting people who are into wrestling.

Used to love it when the line started..and about the time elite 8/9 came out it became dreadful don't know why. I just order online now..and I'll find a gem here and there when I do actually look at stores.

I would love but it always depends. Lately I have been hating it because I would always go to a place then the next day go to the figure finding/store report to find out the day after I went they restock. But I am sure like everyone when they go and find what they are looking for the rush you have. I mean a few weeks ago I found a bunch of figures I wanted and it felt like I was 10 again. I want to run to the checkout and then speed home.

There is no 'hunt'. It's 2013. Use the internet. Buy what you want.

I get an extra thrill when I find a bargain - I hate paying extra and ordering online. I love it when I find clearance aisles with stuff I haven't seen before...
K Mart is my heaven right now... and the flea market...

I usually love the hunt. It's a big part of the fun being a collector. But not being able to find Liz is getting old. I'm over it. And something is wrong with my TRU. An associate said that they'd be getting their biggest truck of the year so far last week. Well they did and there wasn't one damn wrestling figure on it. They got in some Punk and Rock headphones.

I gotta ask because tonight I went hunting for E19 Kane to finish off my E19 set. I went to Wal-Mart, Target and TRU. Wal-Mart had 2 D-Brys, Target had sh*t and TRU had all except Liz (don't matter cause I have her) and Kane. Ugh! This is so fustrating! I'd hate to say it but I hate the hunt, man. Its always the same ol' sh*t and a huge waste of time, gas and I come up short 90% of the f*ckin' time. I'm sick of it. Anyways, how do you boys feel about the hunt? the hunt is great for adrenaline rush and when I find something it's pretty awesome. Bit since December I've gotten increasingly frustrated by it. I've found myself buying alot more online because it's near impossible to find the really good stuff. I lucked out twice in 3 months with hard to find figs. Right now I'd like to find Liz or get the baf Teddy set buy I'm not killin myself for it. Maybe because I feel I have enough to sustain me or maybe I'm just burnt out. I'll do my toy runs where I'll go outta my way ever so often but for the most part I've cut back.

I hate the hunt. I know longer go on them. I will stop at places on the way to another destination but that is it. It just costs too much gas and wastes too much time to hunt for toys anymore.
The only new figures I have seen in the last two months are wave 19 at one Target and they had Liz surprisingly but no Brock or Kane. (I just happen to go in for something else and they had these)
Now it's RSC, Amazon and Ebay for me.

I resort to the internet for exclusives or for figures that I know I missed at retail. I could buy every figure I want in one swoop off the internet, But what fun is that?
