You know, I keep going and putting a bunch of stuff in my cart, but change my mind before checking out.
Hasbro has been putting out some really nice stuff lately, but the lack of an "impulse buying" option (in person, in a store) gives me enough time to talk myself out of buying a lot of stuff.
Plus, while free shipping on $50 or more is a fantastic savings, I generally just want a couple figures. When I add shipping costs to them, it makes it cost enough for me to change my mind. When I add enough stuff in to my cart, to qualify for the free shipping, it's still more than I was planning on spending on a whim. So I don't buy.
I've actually saved a lot of money from not buying Joes, not necessarily because I can't find them anywhere, but because I can't find them in person, where the quantity and price are "just right".
But then again, I am a much more casual Joe collector. I don't want everything they make, but when they a cool figure, it makes me want it, on an impulse. Without the opportunity to buy on the same impulse, the desire fades.
That's me too. There's a Transformer I want, but I don't want to get more GIJoe figures that I really don't need. Part of me wants more custom fodder and part of me wants to call it quits with what I already have. I'd probably have said oh well and got several things if they still had the Night Viper and Combat Viper in stock. Without those I question anything I add to the cart.
