Very, very true.

Sad really. I actually used to enjoy trawling the stores for new figs. Sometimes there would be a nice surprise. RTS windcharger was one of those.
Yeah... i miss those "surprise" figs that you didn't expect too see and scooped up,paid for at the till and went home with a restrained frenzy of excitement to open up when ya got back home.
It's the same thing for some of us now, except we're doing it with figures that should be common. It really is sad.

I've got three shipments that I'm waiting for, and it's killing me! It's awesome to come home and find a package on the doorstep, but the waiting sucks. There's something to be said for the instant gratification of walking into a store and buying a figure.

I feel more and more people are willing to pay 10-20 for shipping now than trekking out to a store and pick up TFs. A lot of the time, especially at my local TRU, they don't even have what I want in stock when I get there.
