My $0.02
I do not miss the hunt at all. I like knowing when/where these come out. They could be a bit cheaper, but I justify the price in the not having to go around from store to store, and on top of that so many sales people are either unhelpful or clueless. This process so far has been relatively simple and painless, up until the MM epidemic which I think they'll definitely come to learn from rather than let happen again. That said, I really think they should offer two different figures a month because it would really help to balance things out a bit, shipping in particular.
My thoughts exactly...
