Only buy online when I cannot find the TFs I want locally. So far, I've only used ebay and recently, BBTS.
That really surprises me. I understand at times it's good to buy online. But why do so many people buy online and get gouged on price and shipping rather then get it in the store for cheaper?
Some things just cant be bought at stores (foreign releases) or no longer can be bought anymore because they are old stock.
Yea, I won't order retail stuf online, but only the hobby shops sell Encore, MPs, Henkei, and other import stuff, and they charge a load more than the online retailers in most cases. The one shop in my area was trying to get $250 for MP Megs when it was released. I have only ordered from HTS for retail stuff cause it is easier than stalking the stores at times. When they have free shipping, I have no problem paying an extra buck here or there to save me the hastle of driving to 10 stores multiple times to find something.
Sometimes ordering online is just more convenient. I'm willing to shell out a coupla extra bucks to make sure I get something. Plus it all kinda balances out with the amount of gas I would've used. If I hadn't ordered the last wave of Universe Legends from BBTS I never would've found them at retail. And as for the original OP's question; ebay, bbts and junkion
I live overseas, so instead of taking the chance that they might have something, I just go straight to the place that I know will have them. BBTS's Pile of Loot is worth it's weight in gold.
Why not just put your question in the title instead of "question?" You should buy from E's Toy Store !
