I love going places, and going to that shop was a new experience, makes the memory so much more memorable). Another pro to going to a store is to see what the figures look like in real person. When I first walked in that shop, I was (at first) unpleasantly surprised that these expensive figures were so much smaller than I thought $80 could get you ("my Barbies never cost that much! and the Barbies are bigger!" I thought  ). I got over this feeling and now love the painstaking detail that goes into my Japanese figures; perhaps seeing one in person will change your mind in one direction or the other. |
Same for me too, thats why I let a local anime-store handle most of my orders (although I could do it myself) and whenever I go to pick them up I can also browse through all their stock

There are times like that, when you need a break. I haven't watched a single anime episode in over three weeks, and don't feel like buying new figures either - that's why I got mangas and magazines this month. You'll come around, don't worry about that
