It aint raping my wallet. Idk any Mattel figures that i got that i had too pay over $30 for and too me that is cheap. Thats wat better then not getting them at all, or goign too a store and seeing heads ripped off figures or belts missing in packs or empty box's laying around in the aisles after waiting forever for it. Would you rather guaranteed get the fig in good shape for a tiny bit more or would you rather take a risk at not finding them and pieces missing just too save 10 lousy bucks is what it comes down too anymore. Hopefully Mattel just makes more quantity of Elites that way if someone steals something from one or 2 in a store, there would still be more of the same fig too purchase. 30$ for one single figure is paying a tiny bit more? Elites are $17.01 after tax in Florida at Walmarts. I would never ever pay almost double for an Elite considering that 17$ itself is an extremely steep price for one single action figure as it is. What happened to the TTL days when figures were like 6 or 7 dollars? I understand in your case if you live far away from any good stores for figures. I live in an area where there's tons of good stores for figures, and ordering online not only is a rip off to me, but it takes away from the fun of actually chasing for the figure you want and the good feeling of finally finding it. Ordering online is like an absolute last resort for me.

Ordering online is like an absolute last resort for me. Yea, unfortuantely for me, Ordering online is a first resort. I live about 25 minutes from 1 WalMart and 1 KMart that the newest stuff they have are E8-E9 and Basic 12 stragglers in KMart as well as some left over Sig Series in WalMart. The next xlosest stores are TRU, KMart, WalMart and Target about an hour away from me. It is safer for me to order online as I get the figures in hand when RSC says they get them in. This way, I can save the money I would have used on gas to drive to these places and put it towards the extra little bit it costs to order from RSC. Personally, for me, it's worth it to order online. I have E13 pre-order and it feels good to know that I will have them in a month while the majority of stores around me still have yet to get E10 in.

Hell yeah see pWr you have it made.. you live in a great accessible area where these figs are easy for you to get ahold of so i really would not blame you not wanting too order online then. I Often wish my stores would stay up too date with stock like that. Its because i live in a small town and not many ppl collect here or anything. When kids do have there parents buy them figs, its always certain ones like Main event talent and none of the rest. We still got swamped with Cena's and Ortons just cause of being not many collectors at all..
Coon im in the same boat. Like i said i do have Wl mart and K Mart in my area but its exactly the same as yours. Tons of E8 or earlier.. maybe MVP from E9 it sucks! Same when i drive the 2 hours too Altoona... NOTHIN! I could drive the 3 too Pittsburgh but then ya gotta drive around Pittsburgh too these different places which takes 10-30 mins and that does suck alot for me. I would, as well, rather just put that $30 in gas on my credit card and order 2 figures im lookin for and pay the same exact price as i would traveling too find them so, plus so i can get them earlier than everyone else and complete with all there accessories as well

Ordering online is like an absolute last resort for me. the US dollar took a crapover the past couple of years, thats what happened to the TTL days. Also i may be the minority here but the chase is the worst ing part of collecting for me. nothings worse then going to 4 different stores only to find crapon the pegs.
