i almost bit that same hook once for $200. um

 

 

Yep, that's what I paid for mine. I rather hate that they released it again and have now killed it's value by overflooding the quantities.

 

I mean, i'm not ever going to sell it anyways - but it's nice to know certain ones you have increase in value.

 

Oh well. Not like the first time i've wasted money - won't be the last. LOL

I would wait until it is release in stores. If it was a figure that was hard to find or isn't sold in stores anymore then I would buy it online (auction, online retail, etc.). But buying TFs in stores is a lot cheaper and it's the thrill of the hunt that I look forward to.

Stuff I really, really want badly, I pre-order, but I only do this to cover my base., I just wait to see if they ship before I find them in stores. If they ship first I'm just stuck with them. If I find them in stores before they ship, I pick them up in stores and cancel the order.

 

Unless I got a better deal online. (:animated was an example of this, with stores selling well in advance of the release date. I bought them in stores, but I had gotten a 20% discount and free shipping pre-ordering them through HTS, so I saved my receipts and when my HTS order came in, I returned these unopened figs to the store for a refund.)

I pre-order stuff here and there, and I do import some things that I want - like Henkai Megs & T'Cracker. But I never buy stuff like a deluxe toy months in advance on ebay or whatever, cause I don't feel like paying $30-$45 for a toy I can get in 60-90 days for 1/3rd or less price.

 

Most of my toys come from either Wal-Mart or Target. Some exceptions are a few items I get from BBTS or HTS.

I wait until it's available in the Pit I call where I live. But even then, I still end up with the earlier versions, before the "running changes" are available. (for example, Universe Onslaught)

What TFU Onslaught running change? Information would be appreciated.
