What's up Joes, I'm stuck on CST but it's 5:18 AM here on the Westsiiiide! Freakin jetlag. I won't submit to Forca Cafe just yet though, I'll need it later on.
So yeah, BC, whenever you get on, I'm starting to be more and more resigned to the fact that Sarge just might not show up. Why they'd let people buy CASES of the fig at the con, I just don't know (if that's actually true). Looks like I should've came a day early after all! |

Whats wrong with the 203 Ship? Is it just the launcher, or the rifle or both?
Oh, and sorry to just ramble on and on about star wars figures you probably could give a rat's about...i just got no one to talk to about toys around here, except for my nephews, which is cool for basic stuff, but the finer or technical points just whiz over their heads (They are young though, in time...). That's a big part of why i am on the Tank. I am on some SW boards too, but alot of those guys are very elitist and hard to relate to. Haven't found a SW version of the tank yet. YakFace comes close though. Anywho...sorry to hear about the Jetlag SS. One of the many reasons i hate flying! I think they let people buy cases because they don't care, they just want to move product. Which seems odd that they care enough to make the thing in the first place, then not enough to have better distro....perhaps they just don't wanna take the chance of being stuck with stock? |

Morning Joes! AA cool on getting a hoild of Sing and PreVisla! I don't know why they would let people buy cases of SARGE either. Just so they can turn around and sell it for a lot more on the secondary market, doesn't sound right to me. I don't really care if I get him, I just thought he would be a cool figure to have, since I used to have the original vintage one.

Yeah, I hope I don't pay for the lag while I'm in training today. We'll see what happens. On the Sarge front, who know? I was only casually interested before when I was supremely confident that I'd nab them yesterday. Now, I think it'd still be cool to get him, but if not, no big deal. Having said that, I probably will still have HTS open the whole time I'm over here! Quote:

Well that's the problem I have with a lot of Hasbro's exclusives. When SW figs were first being reintroduced, back in like 95 for years they had exclusives, like Spirit OBiWAn, and a mail away B'Omarr Monk, yet a year later the figure shows up in the regular release or in a special figure set or something. So what was so exclusive about it is gone. Even if the mail away is worth more, it still loses the value of hunting for it.

Oh, AA I like SW alright...ok had to cut that short. ok the edited version.
M203... Launcer was sound fit. The M16 on the other hand is a G&P M16a3 set up with the Vn heatshield with the lower long type jungle M203 Grenade Launcher. The problem however was not the launcher, but the rifle itself. Magazine was a bit wobbly, why I've no clue. But... It worked with a 300 round mag.. to an extent. The problem was a 130 round would jam and not fire, or the mag catch wouldn't feed even with a 300 round mag. I don't know what the problem is.. but in Semi fire it would dry fire. The gear or motor did lock up in both semi and auto, where the trigger would become jammed and unfirable. Again.. I've no idea what was wrong with this rifle. What I do know is when it arrived here about a week or so ago... it came in with a broken Flash hider(front tip of the gun that is orange) THey did send me a new one but I kept that here. my battery is a 9.6. 400Mah, the gun is suposed to run that or an 8.4 high end. No idea still what the problem is. What I do know is it's unreliable.
