I just moved from an apartment in Metairie on Severn to a new house in the East, so I had been checking for him regularly. Once I moved, I decided to give the TrU a call last night. The girl who knew me called the manager and they confirmed that there was a Soundwave on their shipping truck. They found it last night and told me to be there at 10:00 am today. I had to do a final cleaning on my old apartment, so I was going to be out there anyway this morning. Got there at 9:55, strolled in, and grabbed my two new Masterpieces. The girl I know who works there saw me checking out with my Soundwave. She told me that I'm lucky to have gotten it first because there's usually a scruffy guy with long hair who buys MP figures like that. Not sure who that is, but I'm guessing it's a member of this board, and congrats to whoever you are for scoring such a great figure.
I'm loving Soundwave and, surprisingly, Acid Storm. I love the new Seeker mold and that garish green really makes it pop in my MP display.

Hmm...well I wonder who the guy is. Like I said, I lived off Severn (two blocks from Lakeside) for about 5 years. I'd hit up that TrU a few times a week, sometimes just out of boredom. I've only noticed a collector there a handful of times, and it's usually Star Wars collectors (they're on the same aisle as the TF stuff). Would have been cool to bump into a fellow TF collector, but New Orleans/Metairie/Kenner doesn't really seem to have the biggest collector population out there.
I guess that's a good thing. I've never had to worry about scalpers.
