>>11636691Agreed. I picked up two things from the fall BBTS sale since I already had a Pile of Loot and I'm also participating in this years /toy/ Secret Santa and what my person wants isn't stuff I can get at a toy mart in town or a toy store. BBTS had a few of the things he wanted and they were a good price.
For myself, I bought two cheap things, one to use as fodder and another because it was so cheap ($8 for a 6" action figure).
I did buy myself the Super 7 Iron Giant Deluxe that I had seen at a Target a few months but passed on because I thought $34.99 for a 7" action figure was way too fucking much.
When I got home, I saw it supposedly had 20+ POA, and thought "well" but it was sold out when I hit that Target Super Store again, since it's not in my neighborhood. Glad of it, because it was on sale for $25 and that I would happily pay, but that was a sale early in November (or maybe even late October?). I have spent like $200 on myself this month, including one thing I picked up at a Ross, regular releases I would buy from Game Stop or WM or Target. But I also got $150 in gift cards alone and already had another $200 unused, plus unused gift cards at Amazon, so I've spent no real money, including the about $100+ I'm spending on my Secret Santa.
Black Friday, as far as toys go, has pretty much been a bust. I don't even see things that are just - 'hey, at that price ....'
