>>5916377>What figures did you guys miss at retail?None for years.
I preorder everything...that I can. Ever since online stores started offering the line I've just bought everything online. Everything that I can't preorder, like exclusives, I find myself or have one of my several friends around the country pick it up for me.
The best thing you can have in this hobby is friends all around the country to help you out. Some areas get some stuff in abundance while others hardly get anything.
The last stuff that I missed out for ML was Toy Biz's Wave 7 that had Apocalypse in it. Wave 6 and Wave 7 back then hit retail at almost the same time and lots of areas including mine never got the wave. That's when I started to make connections with other collectors so we could help each other out.
