^ Even being single, finances can be a helluva hassle... But, I can definitely understand the sense of freedom that goes with not having to check every single expenditure. I long for those days again, just fiscally speaking, lol.

Don't ever do that. Now I am in a very tight spot and g action figures is not even an option. Any figure at all. So I am missing a lot of stuff. Like I said a thousand times, here is complicated, once you miss something you'll probably never get that chance again.
This is the first year in awhile that I've actually been single so I'm enjoying just being able to do what I want for a change lol

You have a better chance of picking it up online than finding anything good in stores but for the high end stuff the only real way to get that is to preorder.
8 minutes ago, NeedlessImmortals said:Not to mention you can hardly get these things at retail, far too many scalpers or collectors seem to have an informant in the stores who will let them know when things come in. I rarely see anything good on store shelves anymore and I make pretty frequent trips to various stores in my area quite often.

And then its like, great now how do we get food, lol. I very rarely preorder, because I know that with my luck, either Ill forget that those funds are already spoken for, and be shocked when its not there, or Ill spend it and then it wont be there for when the preorder ships, lol.
