This is already an expensive hobby. I just find at retail. I understand why people do it, I personally cant spend 30 for a fig. 20 is hard enough.

Retail stores around me are horrible at stocking WWE figures. I have to order on-line or I might not see the figure(s) I want. I generally pre-order because I hate to wait. As noted above, the added cost is offset by saving time and gas used on the hunt.

I will preorder depending on how much I want a figure and how concerned I am about how available they will be at retail.

If I have money and I REALLY want it I usually pre-order.
it's been a tradition of mine to order a figure after SDCC.

I pre ordered once and oh so regretted it........pre ordered E19 DZ and HBK one was like $30 the other $26 plus shipping.......a month later E19 Zigglers were shelf warming like crazy and I ended up picking up a clearanced one for 6 bucks and another for 10......E19 HBKs ended up being really cheap online for awhile.

I used to pre-order all the time, after Elite Series 6. It took me about a month to find Elite Goldust and that's when I decided that the hunt wasn't worth all the time and gas I was putting into it. At the time, pre-ordering entire Elite waves was averaging out to only a few dollars above retail, per figure, so it was well worth it to me to have the figures sent to my home weeks ahead of any store. It also helped that I was a completist for any Elite or Legends figures.
However, my collecting habits have changed now. I no longer want duplicates of John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, The Rock, Sheamus, and Randy Orton...Just the select few debut and Flashbacks Elite figures, Divas, and the occasional updated attire. So that means that I only care for about 3 figures per wave now. This, and the price increase on Elite pre-orders, just doesn't make it worth it for me anymore. I remember when the pre-order price for a full wave of Elites used to cost what the back-order price now is...And by the time the back-ordered figures arrive, stores are not far behind in stocking them at regular retail price. So I just wait and cherry-pick the figures I want now. In the past four years, I think there were only five figures that I never found at retail.
Besides, if I really want a full set of Elites, and don't have the time for toy hunting, I can usually find them on sale online at better prices!

I preorder all the time. Stores around here suck unless you're looking for Sheamus or Del Rio

I do. These days, I cherry-pick and only get who I really want. So, if I want a figure bad enough, pre-ordering is a no-brainer, compared to trying to find the figure in stores. Plus, I'm an MOC collector, so breakable plastic and botched paint isn't too much of a concern.

I always pre order the elite sets and rsc exclusives. I usually wait for retail on the basics unless I think they're gonna be hard to find. Nine times out of ten I pre order though

Does the Pope wear a hat? No he wears a mitre or something like that. Not a hat, but a decorative head dress.

Personally I never do just cause I enjoy the hunt more. Pre-ordering isn't pricey, it is just easier then driving around and hoping ya find what you are looking for.

Yes. Makes it so much easier. I like to know I'm getting the figs I want for sure instead of hoping I will find them after driving half an hour to the closest TRU.
