I would happily only buy online if the figures I wanted could be guaranteed to get online. But with how cruddy Walmart is with online sales and Amazon Exclusives frequently selling out quickly, good friggin luck.
Making certain characters in store, extremely hard to come by figures is just so so so dumb. There is no logic to it whatsoever. None. It doesn't make Jazwares any more money nor does it boost the hype of the product, as shown by the rage people are having and them wanting to quit the line over this.
They aren't even shooting themselves in the foot with this one they are capping their own toy line in the head.

But you can't get the seething anger of not finding what you want when you buy online.
I get it, you haven't lived life until you and another overweight 35 yo dork with a neck beard line up at Target at 9 AM and once those doors open you two run straight for the toy aisle. It's the thrill yo! And you both buy three of the same figure of course. One for MOC, one to open, and one "for a friend" (not to sell on the bay) lol. And then you hop on a forum later and agree with all the people that gripe that nothing is ever in stock ... or complain that scalpers buy all the figures first. But you got yours! Amirite?

Re: The thrill
If I wanted a thrill, I'd be involved in a different hobby. Or a different sport. Maybe collect MTG again or something, although god knows that the one time I did get an incredible hit on an MTG booster, I squandered it by walking directly back into the card shop, selling it for 40 bucks, and then using the money to buy lunch. That card later ended up peaking at well over 100 bucks before I think it got restricted and eventually cycled out and is now worth about what I originally sold it for.
If anyone plays MTG: It was a Snapcaster Mage. Foil. About three weeks after the Innistrad set first came out.

To be so steeped in the complaints to miss the sarcasm/joke I didn’t miss it, I’m just amazed at how that guy acts like this in the Jazwares board defending everything they ever do and telling people to not complain about not being able to get AEW figures, and then every time I see him in the mattel board he’s always bitching and moaning
