That about sums up my shopping strategy too. For example, I've wound up with the
smaller Life on Mars alien stuff on more or less impulse, but I'm waiting for a
sale before I go for the big tan four-legged one. I'm also waiting for a sale to
snag more of the bouncy hoppy one. (Mmmm, wide variety of click hinges). I also
picked up some of the new SW classic sets at full price - TIE Fighter, Droid
Escape, and Imperial Shuttle. I'll be buying more of the latter two for parts
when the sales hit...
