Where do you buy your toys?
 
Toys R Us? Walmart? Zellers? Ebay? Online Stores? Ebay?

ToysRus, Zellers and Walmart for the bigbox guys. I do the odd online order, but generally do a lot of my big purchases at Toy Shows and Conventions.

I bet half my toy spending last year was split between the three Conventions I attended.:)

I don't have a lot of time to spend hunting, so mostly online (BBTS, Smalljoes, Outerrimcollectibles). But if I do hunt, it's TRU and LCS mostly.

A lot of times I want a figure that is part of a larger six pack or something, so I'll usually go to Ebay for the one loose figure I want.

TRU, Wal-Mart and Zellers.

In Calgary there are a few decent comic/specialty stores that I will hit up.

- Phoenix Comics on 17th ave SW. I picked up many things back in the day there. I still like going, but they just don't really carry the stuff that I want, plus they are really out of the way for me.
- Chinook Hobby. I love Chinook Hobby. Not because they always have great stuff, but because the care that these guys put into the store. They have trains everywhere, Dioramas filled with starwars characters and a decent amount of stuff that is always on sale.

Also, as a throw-back, does anyone remember Star-Wares in Sunridge mall. I use to practically live there until that douche bag killed it.

HLJ.com rocks. I haven't bought from them in some time though ever since the Yamaguchi Revoltech line went on haietus.

Retail: Walmart, TRU, Zellers.
Online: eBay, BBTS, Goldenagetoys, Automatontoys, Kooltoyz.

It seems to be going more and more the online route for me. Some stuff [cough]DC Universe Classics[/cough] is impossible to get in a store.

Retail: TRU, Wal-Mart, Zellers and my local comic book shop
Online: Automaton Toys (The best :)), BBTS, and Golden Age Toys.

The national retails chains which have all been listed, save Superstore. Online (forum BST, stores, evil-bay). Some come from LCS, if I can swallow the $5 over retail mark-up that most of them charge.
