How many of you guys pre-order your figures? I never do. I always want to, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on the prices usually just to get them a few weeks earlier. I personally wait until they pop up on Ebay and buy the figures that I really want (First in the line) and then wait until retail for the other stuff.

Only if it's a exclusive figure.

I do. The price really isn't as much as people make it out to be. Retail around me is $18.99 per elite. After tax, your paying just over $20 for 1 figure. When I preorder, I pay, average, just under $30 usually after shipping and the WFIGS code. So that's an extra, let's say, 8 bucks, for getting the figure early, guaranteeing I get the figure, and it saves me time/gas money driving around looking for it. Not to mention shipping costs, so in reality it's not that bad at all.

Not to mention shipping costs, so in reality it's not that bad at all. I understand this, but when I see that $30 price tag on a figure I just can't pull the trigger on it out of principle. I know there are probably several times I end up paying $30 for the figure at retail after you include the gas prices and hunting to find it, but it just doesn't seem that much as you don't actually see the $30 price tag on the shelf. For me, I am a basics only collector and other than a handful of diva figures, I can recall seeing every basic figure at retail at least one time. So, that is another reason why pre-ordering is out of the question for me. As I stated in the original post though, I do buy most of the first time in the line figures from ebay when they first arrive in hand. There is a seller who has fairly reasonable prices on his stuff with free shipping and he usually has some time promo going to take a few extra dollars off. Plus he offers "damaged package" figures at discounted prices as well. If I buy online, that is route I go.

Generally speaking, I don't. I think the last figures I preordered were CS 14 Demolition and Rick Martel.

I do from time to time. Preorder a case. The price breakdown is so close to retail and it's too easy to dump the ones you don't want on ebay. Esp when you have them on there before they hit retail. People get crazy and snatch em up.

I do from time to time. Depends on if I have the money handy when something first goes up. Most of the items I pre order are the exclusives. I shop online and RSC quite often, but preordering itself, is really only a few items a year.

I did my first preorder on RVD, actually. I'll definitely be doing it again in the future.

I used to preorder every Legends set, but now I only preorder if it's an exclusive or a figure I really can't wait for. Everything else I pick up locally.

Depends, if there's a certain figure I really want (Example Elite 28 Bray Wyatt) I will. I do however pre-order video games regularly.
