Too Many Pre-Orders

[Boris71]

welcome to the boards.

I agree that there is a great deal of fun in the toy isle discovery of a figure -pulling it off the peg, holding it, examining it and deciding which one to spend your money on in side by side comparison..

Yeah there is not enough of that these days IMO the shops seem remiss to stock a lot of stuff and when they do they seem to be in such short supply that it's almost impossible to get.

I loved seeing the dr who and Indy figures on the shelf, the last line I had fun collecting was the playmates starwars stuff.

Is it just me or does anyone else miss the old days when figures weren't scrapped from a line after the firt wave came out?

It is hard to stumble across a new toy these days since so many websites
and magazines are devoted to covering everything coming out months
before it can arrive in the stores.

Comic shop owners have told me that the Star Trek figures sell out
within the first week. Every shop I have visited, here in New York
and when I travel, have only a McCoy or Spock left on the peg.

I buy a few hundred of each figure from Diamond and will continue
to sell them through drmego.com, the Starlog store, and the
EMCE Toys website when we get that store in place.
