As for the figures...well, i want to slap someone everytime someone complains about minimal things. For example, people complaining that a Joe cost 8.90 bucks at X store, but they're 9.10 at some other place. They cost 7 times here on our money, so every figure is worth more than 20 bucks.
And we don't have places to buy them at all. Everything needs to be shipped, if it's available. no need to get violent, but i understand your plight. and thats a shame, i know they used to have them there. any idea why they don't anymore? i'm guessing it was just the lull in the brand. maybe that will change soon? are there a lot of collectors in argentina?

^^^Shoot that sucks man. When I got into collecting back when SW ROTS came out, it was tough tracking down all the hottest figs. This was up in Toronto though. Down here in the Dallas area, there's not too much I haven't seen on the shelves at one time or another. So do you buy from eBay or online stores like BBTS?

So you're just regular kneroh right now vs. Night Force kneroh? I hear you though, the Night Force are true soldiers for staying up! I'll have to be up at 4 cst to get a 5 est post in. I'll try to get that one in tomorrow morning, I usually get up at 5:15 to get ready for work anyway.

No idea.
Was fine for some time, and suddendly changed one hour got me confused, and had to wait for someone to post... Today for example: Cobra crimson post at 4:00, it showed that hour at least. Then he edited and say "wtf? Why?'" then i looked up again, and the podt was at 3:59. there must be some poor guy keeping track of the time manually! :P Quote:
Yeah, Plastirama was the company. they dissapeared a long time ago, but what i don't understand is why Walmart doesn't get them (we DO have those annoying combat heros that just rot in the shelves) or the Toy stores. We have tons, and i mean TONS of crap, like power ranger stuff. There's a distributor that bring the Star Wars stuff (it dissapears quite fast, considering the price and the market) and Indy toys, but not the Joes. I'm really glad about the movie because movie merchandise gets here. Iron man, star wars, Indy, hulk, etc. Walmart has been doing space in their shelves for some reason, and lately they started to import their own stuff (Corps, for example). So, if the movie figures get here, then maybe we'll see some 25th and resolute stuff. I don't really know for sure about collectors. here i've met two other argentinians, and we are very good friends. One of them is the guy that buys on-line stuff, so he tells me when, and we share the cost of shipping (and there are at least 10 other guy buying too on the same city). The other has the most impressive collection of toys i've seen. Walls, tables boxes full of stuff, mainly SW (almost everything i think), plus Star Trek and all the vintage figures (including a full Flagg, with box and everything! we're planing on take some pictures on it ) and a bunch of miscelaneous stuff (robotech, cops, ghostbusters...pretty much everything 80's-related) YEAH! PAGE 400!!
