Take it easy man, don't work to hard!
You're finding all the cool stuff FP! I don't mind the $15 price point and I'm probably going to unload most of the figs from these sets. It's a shame they didn't put in new characters like you guys had mentioned. I'm cool with Tripwire and Roadblock, but they could have finished off Python Patrol with the Tele-Viper and Trooper/Officer. They could even have dropped a Tiger Force Dusty and Bazooka in there somewhere too. Ah well. Yeah I'm only after that Lamprey and Beachhead too. Maybe the Mantis too, if that Sharc ever makes it to the shelves. I almost forgot to mention, I saw the Sam's 2-packs were down to $20 tonight as well. My closest one still has like a whole skid full of them. I'll wait til it drops lower to get the Ferret and IG Scrap Iron a la Barefoot, and Thunder for the Battle of Benzheen hit list. I was planning on using the blue Firebat as a cold weather Firebat and obtain some repro stickers from cobrastickers.com but, as I said, the paint apps were so shoddy even I, in my tolerance, could not pull the trigger on it.

Can I send mine back for refund then and then you buy them again and sell them for $20 a piece? I was really hoping that Sam's would do something like that for the second (and third) wave of the Alpha vehicles too. I really like those sets and they are hella cheaper than paying $30 for 2 seperate Alphas, especially at $20 a set now!

This has never happened to me before. I NEVER find the cool stuff first. I gotta say, it feels pretty awesome. I'm honestly surprised that any of the stores around me had them. I'm also surprised I had the $45 to drop on them. |

The Mantis is marvelous. And sort of based on a Sunbow COBRA vehicle: There were sting-ray shaped submarines referred to as Mantises in one of the Season 3 episodes.

Don't know if I can be sold on that blue Firebat, but if I were, I'd have to copy that idea off you too and use it as an Arctic vehicle! That Arctic HISS driver would look cool in that ship. Quote:

Incidentally, how the hell did widespread distribution skip W4 and go right to W5 anyway? I hope Charbroil and Kamakura are in revision cases. Last edited by solid_strider; 11-07-2009 at 03:13 AM.. |

Helloooooooo! All. Hey CC thanks for the pickup. Very much appreciated. 20 pages to catch up on. I stopped by a mere few hours ago to.

I can't believe there was only 1 Snow Serpent between the 2 TRU stores! They had around 6 Bench Press's though not including the repack one. And tons of the 5 packs! Probably around 10 of both set between the 2 locations.

I'll have to go back and watch that episode. Any idea which one it was?
