How often do you hunt for TF's ?

Well it's confession time again & the title says it all. How often do you hunt for TF's ?

I'll go first. Pretty much every chance I can get unless stores have recently disappointed me which is getting pretty common as of late.

Maybe once a month? Maybe half of the time I actually buy. I usually save up and blow cash at conventions mostly.

If I can, I look. Why wouldn't you?

Passing by a TRU in the mall? Stop in and look.

Running out to Walmart to pick up miscellaneous stuff? Swing by the toy aisle.

Out of town on business and drive by a TRU or Walmart on the highway? Time for a short pit stop.

You never know when you are going to strike gold, so take the chances you get.

The hunt is ALWAYS on!

I'll hit a TRU every so often, but much more frequently if I catch wind of new products hitting stores.

I shop at Walmart fairly often, so I always swing by the toy section when I'm there.

I all but gave up on Canadian Superstore once they limited their TF stock to RID legion figures.

Online? Pretty often.

Re: How often do you hunt for TF's ?

Depends on my budget. If I feel I have some extra $$ to spend, I will be more likely to "hunt" a few times a weeks, even though I'm rather limited in my collection "wants" -- typically MPs & G1.

For the past half year, my budget's been rather thin, so it's not as fun hunting (even though I really wouldn't find any of my "wants"). As such, I've been hunting maybe 2 or 3 times a month.

Re: How often do you hunt for TF's ?

Almost every day on the way home from work, there is a Tru and a Walmart (used to be a target on the way as well) one way and a Walmart and a mall with winners (used to be a target this way too). If I know something is out that I want I will hit all 4 locations and sometimes I will also hit the Walmart and tru in Oakville and some times the Walmart in waterdown at the end.

Re: How often do you hunt for TF's ?

Not very often. I loved hunting for figures, but stuff rarely interests me (from retail) anymore. I still enjoy looking, but I don't go out of my way very much.

I still remember finding a 07' Leader Optimus Prime and Voyager Thundercracker at a Zeller's store in between hockey games... was so awesome because they were scarce at the time! (post movie showing).

Haven't since using up coupons last winter.

Combiner Wars has actually been really nice to me for distro.
