Score

I was watching this guy on Walmart's site and waffling on whether or not to preorder him and Air Raid. Within hours the preorders sold out for Slingshot and I panicked and preordered Air Raid. I thought I dropped the ball - I missed out on Slingshot.
I was in another store and checked out the toys section, where I saw Air Raid was for sale, and I gasped. I started coming other stores in there area and happened across this guy in the ghetto store. I didn't miss out, I even got him a few days early.
The day after I was back in the store where I first saw Air Raid, and the section was cleared out. These things move, fast.
That said, I think preorders eliminate a lot of stress. I may have to wait longer to get the prize, but I'm never going to drive all over town for a preorder.
