I didn't go nab them. I figured by the time I got there they'd be gone.

He is very cool, but I kind of like Zartan, even if Firefly's my favorite character his gun bugs me...the stupid weak folding stock. I gave him Shipwreck's little automatic gun. Shipwreck and Stalker are very good too, but Shipwreck's face is poorly painted. I love how everyone's should straps, and bandoliers are separate from the body mold.

I still hate that these guys do not stand well though. They are way too flimsy, and the hands and weapon flimsiness--not being able to hold tightly is still a craptacular feature.

None, and here's the latest in my Ebay 'debacle'. I like the item, I just wish he would have been more forthcoming that it was used and opened, and had not deceived me, because I probably would not have paid the price he charged for it.

Dear strongbow24,

Believe what you may then. I am honest, your just looking to get money back and trying to find any excuse to get.
Do what you must, leave me a negative feedback I will also warn others of your sneaky way of trying to get moneyback with a negative also.
good day.

- naverinoo

At first I was amused that someone could make such an odd statement. However, I now encourage you all to avoid this seller.

:-x

EDIT: BTW I did learn something, and truly this only my 2nd bad transaction, and the transaction itself and the item were not bad, just the incomplete data, which is my fault for allowing myself to be misled to believe something that someone wrote... I will ask next time it is someone new.

sorry, but i wouldn't accept this tt. MISB is a VERY common term. if he used it incorrectly, that's his problem not yours. people don't question terms if there isn't a need to.

and his attitude flat out stinks.

ebay will go to bat for you on this. and paypal too if you paid that way. at this point, i wouldn't bother because of the money, i'd do it because he's a jerk.

Agreed. Get your money back and buy it from someone else. And screw the feedback! eBay's feedback system is broken. "If you leave me bad feedback, I'll tell everyone you're stupid and your mom smells bad." Gah, now I'm mad at this guy!

On a lighter note, is anyone going hunting for Masterpiece Starscream today? I'm probably going to go out later but I'm too tired right now.

And, if you don't have anything to do tonight:

That's my friends' band. I'm not playing with them tonight but I'll be there, hopefully in costume (I just need to find some squirt guns and finish putting it together).

I did go looking for Masterpiece Starscream today.

I can save you the trouble of looking at the Canton Walmart, and the Livonia Walmart both had nada.

I did find the new SW Comic two packs. Pretty cool and on sale at Target in Livonia/right next to that Walmart that had zilch.

Did finally find Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker, and bought Armorhide and Skyblast repaints.

Remember to keep the sitings coming so we can hopefully hook everyone up with one that wants one here in Michigan.

thanks.. I started reading the sighting thread for it and saw that. I think I will get a shower and then hit belleville and AA wal-mart and see what I find.

by **Bigdaddymcqueen** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 12:18 pm

nothing at the shelby walmart yet! my friend said they did come in, but i have'nt seen them, and the day shift stocker said they have'nt come in ..............yet!!!

by **Bigdaddymcqueen** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 12:25 pm

most of the ones on ebay are from overseas, but there is one in texas so he is here in the states!!

No dice here. I did hit the Value City in Westland today, they didn't have the Sig 6 that I was looking for, but guess what they did have:

Roadbots!! They had the 1:32 scale set(about the size of a Deluxe), I only grabbed the red Ford GT, mainly because he's a Ford, and he was the only one that didn't have horrible paint schemes(neon green and orange??? Blech.) There were about 5-6 different models, and they are $7.99 a piece, with 70% off at the register!

They also had ML Icons Venom(1, variant) and Hulk(6, non-variant), marked at $9.99, also 70% off at the register, so go grab an Icons Hulk for $3.00!

Other than that, nothing noteworthy, plenty of Movie Deluxe out there still.

Nice! I'll have to go check those out later.

by **Rijie** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 2:17 pm

Heh, I just opened him and he's pretty nifty. He comes with an over-sized LED sword, a laser-pistol and a large axe. The alt-mode is perfect, and has rubber tires!

They are definitely different from a Transformer...it's more of a model that you take a bunch of parts off and rebuild into a robot. The articulation is modest but enough to work with, and the plastic is reasonably durable. I'm very glad that I bought him.

I think that he'll be my Movie Sideswipe. :grin:
