Oh yes, I noticed something too about the wave 2 Alpha vehicles last night! They have 2 different packaging versions for the Snarler set at least, maybe the Mantis as well!
The Snarler set I saw (and hid.....going to pick up later today!) looks like a different box altogether from the one I have now, box even looks smaller! The Snarler itself is packaged differently and Rollbar is standing against the back of the box next to Beach Head. They are all held in place by Hasbro standard issue clear bands and everything that is supposed to be there is there, no repack! When I get it today I will post side-by-side pics of both versions. The Mantis I saw in Appleton had a helmet-less Aqua-Viper Officer and the one I saw (and hid also at the same store as the Snarler) has a helmeted Aqua-Viper Officer.

Thanks guys and gal, it happend sooooooo damn quick too. Don't know how I didn't notice those in the lane until it was too late, I'm always more observent than that. I guess I was kind of pissed that Target didn't have any wave 2 deluxe sets anywhere and no playsets at any WM's too and was looking at the slower drivers as I passed them mumbling to myself somewhat road-rageish nasty things when I should have been paying more attention to what was in my lane. Lucky close call and very unnecessary too if I would have been focused on the road more. I don't know how I didn't hit any other cars in the other lane or those poles either, got lucky and just took the mirror off.......too close!

Sir? This report just came in, according to the Los Angeles Times, Red carpet glamour rules the night. Shall we terminate them?

I did yesterday, what a day from hell and very expensive too! First, decided to hit up some more WM's and Targets so I broadened my search to include 300 miles round-trip. Hit up 2 TRU's, 2 Target's & 3 WM's total (there are more Targets and WM's that I could have checked but didn't feel like going to them all). Stopped at first TRU, all they restocked was the Bench Press/Snow Serpents, so I grabbed a Snow Serpent (and paid $7 something since it was only 1 figure too!) to complete my TRU RoC MOC/MIB exclusives for 2009. Went to Target close by, had like 4 Rescue Mission sets and 3 Rhinos, no Wave 2 Deluxe and no Wave 4 or 5 singles. Left without anything from there. Went to WM nearby and they had nothing besides Collection 1 & 2, Waves 1,2 and 3. Left 2 Arctic Assault Masked SS's, 2 Black Coat Rex's and 2 Arctic Assault SE's there along with a bunch of the 2 packs, didn't get anything. Started heading towards home and stopped at a WM that I rarely ever stop at, bingo! Wave 4 Charbroil and Red Fang Ninja for me and Black Tat Night Adder and Arctic Threat Stom Shadow for Pepsi Jedi! Left there fairl happy about those, hit up the other TRU.....absolutely nothing as far as restock! Be on the look out though tankers, that repacked Hawk on a Bench Press card that I saw last week and snapped a pic of sold, probably going to be on ebay soon as a rare error for $100! Headed over to nearby Target, once again had Rescue Mission and Rhino in hands, couldn't pull the trigger! Checked out another WM, notta so I headed home. Around an hour and a half away from home, they have been doing major construction on the highway for the past 2 years or so. Well, part of that is opened up now and then the other part isn't yet. Coming up to the part that isn't, they have a detour around and back onto the highway. They recently finished the work on the exit back onto the highway and then it opens up from one lane back to 2. Nobody was in the second lane so I decided to step on it and pass about 7 cars that weren't doing the speed limit. So I'm tooling along passing cars at around 65-70 mph and then all of a sudden I notice the car in the lane next to me is getting closer and closer and start wondering wtf is going on here! I look out the driver's side window and see some construction poles setup and coming into the lane I'm in like it is being worked on, no lane ends/closed sign anywhere at all or construction yet these are here and blocking the lane all of a sudden! At this point, I have 2 choices, either swerve into the other lane and sideswipe that car next to me and create a bad pile-up or hit the brakes and crank the wheel! So I did the later and narrowly missed hitting those poles dead center, I ended up taking off the driver's side mirror at about 50 mph though! Not too bad if it was just a regular mirror, it just had to be power and heated too!
So, for a TRU Snow Serpent and Charbroil, Red Fang Ninja, Night Adder and Arctic Threat Storm Shadow it cost me $31 in gas + whatever the mirror is going to cost to replace! Lucky I didn't need to buy a new pair of boxers too after that! |
