Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Out of principle I am not willing to pay much more so I'll just wait, I am good at that. Wait till my grave I am thinking, hehe, ah well the wait is part of the fun they say.

I actually picked up Mags at a LCS up in Chicago that Ghost directed me to and I picked Her up at less than retail, Walked out with Mags and the DST Thanos for 300 out the door..
Then drove over to Phil's house and picked up my Painted Thanos by Gabe..
I was on cloud 9 the whole drive home..

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Candy plenty are on the lookout for that HH Conan if nobody's interested you should probably buy it and flip it. That's popular nowadays

Okay folks, Here's the phone number for my LCS, give them a shot.
The Source Comics And Games
651-645-0386
They have a LOT of Bowen statues laying around, and all kinds of other stuff. In fact, they probably have stuff that isn't at the store, in their warehouse. I can guarantee, if you don't find what you're looking for with them, you probably won't find it.
I am still waiting for all of the retailer people I know to get off their butts and e-mail me.

Do they limit themselves to local pickup only? Will they also verify the condition of the statue/box?

I see I made a typo on their phone number. it's 651-645-0386.
their website is www.sourcecandg.com
They will gladly ship out of state, or to wherever they need to go. They'll also do their best to accomodate you regarding boxes and what not.

So anyway, if you people have want lists, apparently I'm the guy who is meant to find all the cheap stuff.
If I've seen it, and know where it is, I will gladly direct you.

I've gotten 3 responses from my retailer and statue guys, and nothing is on the list. I MAY have found a Stormtrooper Dewback statue, but haven't heard back yet.
I'm thinking if this networking thing actually pans out, this could be a hell of a lot of fun.
Like everyone pick someone out of a hat, and find that person's want list items.
Then pay it forward.
