>timeHow can you ever have time if you don't take time?
>lack of stockCall ahead and ask, the reason stores run out of stock is caused by two things, either other people who are more motivated to go and get the things they want, or because people are being suckered in by this idea that online is better, which it isn't. Buying online might be slightly more convenient because you don't have to get off your ass, but it's killing retail, which means fewer domestic jobs, which has all kinds of knock-on effects, like increased prices on figures. One thing that keeps prices in check is retailers dictating that they won't stock figures over a certain price point.
>gas pricesYou'd probably be spending the same amount of money on fuel that you would on shipping, and that's assuming you drove. Catch public transport, ride a bike, or get more out of your day by combining errands, call a friend and see if they wanna get lunch, if they share your interest ask if the wanna come along and make a day of it, do your grocery shopping while you're out.
