Re: How deep are yall willin' to go for a specific figure?
I preorder at Amazon Canada or TRU.ca if possible. If I happened to see something in a B&M store before a preordered item is shipped I simply cancelled that item from my online orders.
I don’t hunt anymore... with spotty and sporadic distribution as of late it is a waste of time and gas/bus fare.

I have to hands down love it to spend a significant amount. I bought Phoenix and he was the most I’ve ever paid...no regrets

I don't hunt anymore. I check stores if I'm gonna be in the area. That's it. Sometimes friends of mine find stuff and pick it up for me and vice versa. Other times, I just get that shit from Amazon.

Re: How deep are yall willin' to go for a specific figure?
I just go and drive to various stores but only at the same time that I have other things to do and pick up, but mostly when I have time and feel like it. Will check various stores, will check with staff if there's some that I really want to find, sometimes ask to check the stock of other stores.
Otherwise, I check the websites TrU/Walmart and sometimes Amazon, but for a while, Aliexpress, and some online stores.
The worst scenario was when I missed Twin Twist out of just sheer dumb luck as I told myself "next time" and poof, all gone everywhere... took me over a year to find one at an acceptable price (but the shipping almost doubled the price) so I ended up paying 3x what I would have if I hadn't hesitated that day.

Re: How deep are yall willin' to go for a specific figure?
Don't hunt anymore. If I really want something, I try to preorder it. Honestly, I find hunting a waste of time and gas. But I don't fear missing out on anything anymore, either. There's always newer and better on it's way out.
I mean I missed out on CW Sky Lynx, and now there's a Commander sized one on its way.
Also in the long run, patience will always yield results. I had pretty much given up on getting TM2 Black Arachnia at a decent price. I had wanted one since it came out, but distribution wasn't so good. Ten years later, I walk into collectibles shop, and there she is sitting in a case for more than a reasonable price.

I kind of don't, if I'm honest. IF anything I want comes out, I'm just going to assume it's not going to reach my area due to crap distribution and/or exclusivity, and even if it does, it's probably ridiculously overpriced to the point of any interest I have going right out the window.
When Deluxes on sale cost what I used to pay for Voyagers on sale, yeah, I'll just kick in a few bucks more and get a KO MP car instead. So that, I suppose, is how far I'm willing to go -- in another direction entirely.
