He'll be here all week folks. Try the veal, it's delish. And be sure to trip your waitress.
Those skirts are so tiny, guaranteed win!
Sounds like a pretty crummy toy actually. Though some level of cheapness should be expected I guess. Same price as Soundwave and many times larger... Corners needed to be cut somewhere. Saw the SDCC box today at NJCC, holy CRAP that's massive. Almost twice the size of the retail box.
Speaking of NJCC, fogger got to see me make a teenage boy nearly cry today. I screwed up a sale and gave him the wrong Soundwave. He came back a couple of hours later claiming that the one he got only had Laserbeak in it, and I argued that the one I still had on my shelf (at a significant discount and labeled as such) was the one with the cassettes removed. I thought to myself, this is the 5th-oldest trick in the book, I can't believe this shit. Then he turned the box over and I realized that I knew that dent in the box quite well. Sure enough, the one still on the shelf was sealed. The same one I had been trying to upsell as less than half the price of the Takara version for the same thing, with nobody biting. I apologized profusely and switched them out. In hindsight I probably should have refunded some of his money even though I only made like $15 on the sale. But at the time I was pissed at myself for being careless and letting this kid think he was getting ripped off, even if it was unintentional. And about how I was damned lucky that everyone scoffed at the idea of buying a Soundwave without the cassettes. I still feel bad about it.
