Hi, everyone.
Haven't posted in a while. Haven't had a reason to. And as you have probably figured out from the title of this thread, I'm fishing for some insight.
Has the poor distribution and increase of price on Hasbro figures in the last six to twelve months caused you to acquire figs by on-line means, group hunting, or just give up altogether? Or has it shifted your collecting to another facet of the hobby (fine art, prints, statues, etc...)?
I have to say that the Seattle area is not the only one with a drought. The Midwest has nothing on the pegs either. I just checked five states and it is a boneyard out there. Not to mention my beloved Target here in Renton has had the same vintage Weequay on the pegs for the last five months. I've been thinking of buying it because I'm sick of looking at it and I would consider it a rescue.
If you are going on-line, where have the deals been? There are a few figs I'd like to get but I'm not wasting any more time in the wasteland.
I hope you don't see me as beating a dead horse here, but something has to be done about this at the local level or higher or like I said before, "It's 1985 all over again." What have you, the avid collector, been doing to get through this?
Thanks for putting up with me. I promise to be less grumpy later.
