Iunno what happened with Velocitron man. Feels like it fell off the map. Wave 2 deluxes are pretty much non-existent. After Galaxy Shuttle, nothing's come out.

I curious as to why anyone risks ordering from Walmart or any place of the like anymore. For myself, when all this craziness started a few years ago, I stopped depending on chains and Amazon and just started pre-ordering from our site sponsors. Haven't missed anything since. No more driving around. No more anxiety about missing something. No more wondering if someone did a figure swap. And since the price hikes, pretty much the same price or in some cases cheaper... I'm looking at you TRU. Some also have loyalty programs. I just recently bought a bunch Gi Joe Classified figures and when I used some of my loyalty points, I only had to pay 1/4 of the original total.

Only thing required is a bit of patience because they don't always get things in as quick as big retailers or are able to process orders as quick.

It?s mostly because I?m always counting my Pennie?s and I?m a Cheap a$$.

Order from Wally when it?s on sale. Things are so expensive these days and I?m struggling to justify collective at $40 a deluxe.

Yep, pretty much this for me as well.


I still am wiling to pay full price for certain items I feel are must haves for me personally. However that is becoming less and less of an issue.



The online guys, with their rewards definitely make it easier to go with them for purchases.


Of course I still trawl online to see what, if anything, goes on sale for a decent price that I may want to get.

I have had good experiences with WM so I keep buying their figures on sales. At full price, I'll usually go in-store or choose Amazon instead because it's quicker.

I do not collect every single Transformers so I don't mind if I miss most of them, as long as I get the characters that I really like.
