I'm just ordering online from now on

I've sort of lost my love for the hunt, especially during the Holiday season. Traffic and parking sucks.

Even during the rest of the year it's a hassle going to a store. At Spencers weird crap hanging from the ceiling is always hitting me in the head. At Sam Goody I have to refuse to sign up for twenty magazines before I can pay. EB and Gamestop just pummel you on their pricing.

My comic shop is run by elitist snobs, who for some reason think that Todd is the anti-Christ. Well, there is one sort of hot chick who works there, but she actually insists on telling me her life story every time I go in. Nice legs, shame about the face.

I just find it easier to order online and just wait for the package to show up at my door. Of course, I'll continue to just get the sports and the Spawn figs at work.

Sign me, cranky old man.

done that for most of this year

Although you could help others (meaning me) with the hunt for ML figures while you are at work if you need something to do [img]wink.gif[/img]

No prob helping out on that, meg. ML figs are few and far between these days though.

yeah - no kidding!

I'll send you a list [img]tongue.gif[/img]

online would be perfect
if it wasn't for shipping [img]mad.gif[/img]

Welcome to my world!

I still hot the shops...not often that I find anything I want, but hey...
I get more stuff from other people than I do from any retailer, online or otherwise.

Hey guys, new here, enjoy the board...I agree 100%, my son, whose 4, loves wrestling, but its always the same 4 guys on shelfs. I just figure online is the best...good selection and not worried about the cards and scalpers wondering if they can double the cost. My kid just wants his figures...lol...I am trying to get him into Spawn now...lol..never too young. Take care..

Welcome aboard, Dimension !

Hey thanks for the great welcome. I used to be big into the Mcfarlane lines, kinda dropped out around the Dark Ages Spawn, marriage and kids change your priorities..lol...but my son has started to set some figures "on display" on his own, just like his Dad..lol..so I am thinking about picking up some loose lots on eBay cheap just to let him check out some the figures. I am enjoying reading all the info, stories and comments about collecting. Great site.

Welcome Dimension!!

This is a great board indeed, full of great people. I am sure you will enjoy your stay. We all collect many different things, not just McToys, so you are welcome to share any collectibles you like!

I still go on the thrill of the hunt while I'm still young enough to hunt. I got blooded in '98 and have been going strong since. I still remember putting that 6 yr old who tried to get my ML chase fig. Ah, memories. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'll order full sets online for McF stuff, but I still love hitting the stores, even if I don't find anything.

I got nice friends aroudn helpign me with most stuff ..Mega is one of them and I ow him so much. I sometimes order online mostly if it is some exclusiv tF or old G1 stuff since I cant get those in stores.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">First off, Welcome!

As far as Cornerstorecomics.com goes. I've talked with the owner on the phone several times about the store. He comes across as someone who is trying to help out collectors while still managing to make a profit. I've only had two orders with them (ML8&9). Since they are technically not released yet I don't know how good the service is. BTW, I'll be picking up both my orders, so I wouldn't be able to tell you how they pack their merchandise. Again, he comes across as a good guy, but then again Joe at Killertoys does too yet some people don't seem to like him.

Online might be more comfortable, but in my case is more expensive and I miss toy hunt. Is not the same when you can check what is out and verify the figs before you purchase......
