Any advantages to ordering off Amazon vs. Pulse? or Vice versa? I get free shipping on both, assuming both charge tax...
I think JD will get a few pennies for their servers if you use the Amazon affiliate links that Jeff provided. I tend to go that route if both are available, but in general I've not found any difference really between ordering from each. Sometimes one is a little faster than another, but it varies.
I think maybe if you're a carded collector you might have a better chance at getting a good card/box from Pulse as they always use cardboard boxes to ship your items.
My guess is that purchasing through Pulse might provide some better margins for Hasbro and lead to more Star Wars toys too.
My preferences for ordering:
1a - Amazon (with affiliate links)
1b - Pulse
2 - Target
3 - Entertainment Earth (with affiliate links)
4 - Walmart
Not sure if JD gets $ from affiliate links with Target and Walmart or not.
