But it should be a better experience when it comes to hobby shops. We're not talking about the difference between shopping on Amazon as opposed to going to Target.

I like going to an LCS for the social setting, being around other hobbyists, seeing what I'm buying in person first and being able to trade in person.

Sure, it can be more expensive (although the LCS I went to in Chicago pegged their prices to Blowout's) it's sometimes worth it to not pay for shipping or having to wait. A lot of times paying cash for singles also nets discounts.
