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?

By the way if anybody needs anything from E19 PM me. I found multiples of everyone but Liz and Kane. I can buy it for you if you have something I need. See my wanted list. The link to my Wants/Haves is in my sig.

I wouldn't mind hunting if I could ever find anything, my area kind of sucks, and i'm nowhere near a TRU.

It honestly all depnds on what the stores have. If they are getting new stuff in i don't mind hunting and it could be fun. If the store has the same 4 Cenas and Reys then it sucks

I live about 20 miles from the nearest city so I despise it. Gas costs $3.70 a gallon in central VA so coming home with nothing blows a fat one. I prefer ordering online. It's a good feeling though when you leave a store with a bunch of figures you've been wanting.

As of late I've been hating it, since I haven't found anything I'd even consider buying since before Christmas... but today I did find Elite 19 Lesnar at Wal Mart that I've been searching for, so I'm not so bitter at the moment. And not to rub salt in the wound, but that particular store was also loaded up with Kane.

It sucks. I've been primarily ordering online for over two years now because of the crazy distribution with the line. Plus I like getting stuff early when applicable. I did the hunt thing for years and while I like it every once in awhile it's mostly just disappointing.

I used to love the hunt, but now I just don't look for anything specific and get surprised if I do find something that I want.
With gas prices the way they are now its hard to just drive to multiple places and then drop $100 on figures.

There's a Wal-Mart about a mile from my house that's pretty good about stocking WWE figures. Unless we're out & happen to be near other stores, if that Wal-Mart doesn't have it, then I take it as a sign that I don't need it.

I have that Kane stashed at one of the TRUs I visit. I'll check your classifieds to see if I need anything.
On a side note: scalping is ruining collecting. If you don't believe me go to eBay and search AJ wwe Mattel or elite 19 Brock.

I have alot of stores around me so I enjoy it most of the time. But with gas prices rising I just go hunting less and less, I need to have something else to go out looking for/needing.
I find myself going online for stuff more and more, but the hunt is still up there for me.

I hate the hunt cause no stores near me ever have anything I would consider picking up. Id say 90% of my figures are bought online

I grew tired of it. Last year I stopped the long trips, driving from town to town. No more 10 Walmart, 6 Target days. More RSC, Amazon, spamS, etc.

In the past I have typically liked it. When the getting is good I love it, but the early part of the year before Easter, and all of May, June, and July are always dry around here every year. That's the dirt worst. Luckily on my way to work I pass 5 stores that carry WWE merch and I work across from a ToysRus. If I ever move it might change my mind, but I've got a good hunting route. I empathize with people who live farther away from the city, that was me about 6 years ago, and I didn't find nearly as much stuff, and that's even considering how much easier it was back then.

Just when I'm completely fed-up with my area's crappy distribution, I manage to swing every figure in E19 and two AJs, all at-or-below current retail. It almost makes up for never seeing Diesel or any of E17 except Cena in stores. |
