I actually just pre-ordered for the first time. Probably end up doing so again in the future too.

This is what finally made me do it too. Went ahead and added e28 Wyatt & Crush too.

Like any have said, I preorder to assure I get the figures I want. Some enjoy the hunt, and I understand that. It is a rush to see something new at retail, but my time is worth more to me than that.
At the end of the day, I am figure collector, not a figure hunter. I do this to own figures, not chase them down. But to each his own.

something about pre-ordering is satisfying. I don't know what it is...

You could say something like "Daredevil is the best superhero," or "Tom Waits is a complete genius," but I completely agree with this.

Never did because I usually just wait until eBay has them loose for half the price.

Looks like the WF community is pretty close to being split down the middle.

Most of the time, if I have cash on me, I do. Although, I waited to get some extra cash for E27 and I'm glad I did. Was about to order and then pictures went up. Just then I knew I didn't want one or two from the set, I wanted the whole lot.

Looks like the WF community is pretty close to being split down the middle. I can honestly see the reasonable logic behind both strategies or approaches. If cost is a concern, then you have to realize that you could easily buy 5 elites at retail for the price of 4 or 3.5 on RSC (preorders). If you live close to a well-stocked toy store, then it isn't a big deal to travel there. Each of us have our own unique considerations and preferences. To me, assuring that I get the figure I want is most important. That supersedes cost in my personal estimation. Also, I live far away from any good retail stores. Time = money to a lot people. What's an hour of your evening or weekend worth to you? If I ascribe a price that matches how much I get paid at my job, then I am most DEFINITELY coming out ahead by preordering off ringside. That's my logic.

I used to pre order, but now I have possbily the best WWE Figure stockist EVER round the corner, theres no point, Smyths has an AWESOME WWE stock, they always release a little earlier and it helps having a mate on the inside lol!

I've never pre-ordered anything, because of the price and also the reason @hasbrocollectoruk mentioned above, but I couldn't wait for E27 Fandango!

Thats another reason, RSC do seem to add a heap on top for figures they deem popular, at retail all the figures are the same price, but RSC charging $20 for RVD is out of order, in a week or so, that figure will be less than $10 in shops. Keep your pre orders, I try and remain patient

Keep your pre orders, I try and remain patient He won't even be at retail in a week. And it's not 'out of order' because you're getting him at least a month early and some people want to pay for that privilege.

We beg to differ, you don't get it early, it's a pre-order so ships when it's in stock. Charging more for one figure than others, when the cost is the same is wrong, however you dress it up!
