They need to do a couple of solid-case shipments in order to offset this BS.

Anyway, saw the new GI Joe Adventure Teams a at the DB TRU, Recondo and Storm Shadow, one each are left. Recondo is actually quite a nice figure, even if his gator-buddy is just ok. They also had the new Heavy Metal Snake Eyes, two of them, which I left.

They also had yet another case of Cybertron Deluxes put out, plus the WW TIT6 Op/Meg set, one Classic Jetfire still, and plenty of the Blackout/Scorponok sets. Happy Hunting.

FYI, there is a better Recondo (in my opinion), on the way. I'm not a big fan of Sigma Six right now. I'm being very choosey.

Yes, I want Dreadwing and Arcee, and thanks for nabbing them.

You know, I really wonder if maybe there's just been shipments of only Arcee and Dreadwing? I guess it's more of a stretch, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was the case. It seems almost nuts to think that most of us have been able to get Arcee and Dreadwing but not see a single new BB. I guess we're either very unlucky timing wise or there's something else going on.

Well I hit up Traget on lunch...they had 1 of each...thats right they had one more BB he now sits happily at my desk at work waiting for me to go home and put him on ebay for a zillion dollars...lol

I am of course kidding...he gets opened as soon as I get home!

On another note...I returned my Defect Brawl for a new...non broken one....I really like this little guy...I may have to get a Leader class...

hey.. tfpredaking!!! are you home yet?????

Well, I had a pint of Guinness at the oldest pub in Belfast tonight. That was cool. I also got to see a lot of the areas that were the hotbeds for the Protestant/Catholic problems they had over here.
I also noticed seeing Megatron on nearly every bus stop. I did see Bumblebee once, but mostly Megatron haunts Belfast. :grin:

I also saw an orange Lorry that was almost the spitting image of Botcon Huffer. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but that is hard to do when you drive by it going the opposite direction.

Thaks! I'm so glad you picked that one up for me at Botcon though. The boxes of both of these were fairly damaged.

I was a little worried that you would have buyer's remorse...sorry the boxes were poor.

But hey they were free! :grin:

Minus the cost of 500 some pops (or however many you drank).

Congrats, JTK! Looks like I'll have to get a move on entering my codes. I have about 300 caps in a bag in my room.

Moved to sightings for regional discussion. This should steer more people from your area here helping you with finding toys or other local questions that might arise. Think of it as your Seibertron neighborhood!

It's cool, makes the thread easier to find. It just made me sad because since the revamp the site loads so much slower making navigating between different forums a tad painfull.

also.. we're not unique anymore.. now other states have their own threads. of course, ours still has the best name

I'm just going to keep a tab open for this thread and a tab open for the toy forum

I think after I move I'm going to hook up a 3rd monitor

That's why we had to make the new forum. Because there were starting to be a lot of threads mimicking ours, which was a copy of the Brits thread anyway, so it was time for this.

It'll be new, but it's our same little community.

Now stop whining before I have to get angry...and you wouldn't like me when I get angry... :-x
