Why do I always find a figure at retail immediately after...

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Why do I always find a figure at retail immediately after...

I've just paid more for it online?

This happened to me again last week when I found RTS Perceptor at a store after giving up and ordering him online for almost twice as much. Sigh.

Does this happen to anybody else?

I had the same problem with Animated Arcee. Generally the distribution here in San Diego is pretty crappy, but maybe a month or less after paying out the ass on eBay for it, it flooded the shelves. I'd say it's a lesson in patience, but there's been plenty of times I've completely missed out on a figure from waiting on it :\

I ordered a bunch of stuff from HTS last month. Still haven't come across any of it in retail.

Used to happen to me. Then I stopped looking and that seems to have solved the problem.

I buy my figs almost exclusively online these days. Saves me the time and money of hunting for them.

I should do the same and stop torturing myself by searching retail.
