Afternoon folks. I'm still alive and well, if a bit frustrated, seeing as a massive thunderstorm two weeks ago fried my computer. Hard drive seems in good shape, but I can't pinpoint what actually died in it; could be the power supply. In other news, I'm so close to a job I can feel the searing pain of dealing with the general populace from day to day.
That's all for me for now. Talisman out.

Glad to hear you're almost back to work bro.
I myself have a Hiss V5 that I picked up and then tore apart to customize into something totally different. I've seen the Wolf Hound, but I just don't want one. I DID finally manage to get a couple of single carded figures today on the way to work. Quick Kick and Spirit are mine! I'd post a pic but they're stuck in the car ATM. Hopefully they don't melt.

So I stop into my local Target today to check on the PoC figure situation. I've pretty much given up on the BnM stores for things like this so when I found nothing but one Duke and one SS on the pegs and a Doom Cycle and Ghost Hawk below. I wasn't shocked.
But when I head out empty handed, I pass the baseball/game card section. I don't collect this stuff but was just passing through. I notice a cart full of figures including two Alley Vipers and a CC. He also has the Cobra and Joe Mech in there. So I stand back and pretend to look at cards. Two guys are talking about the value of this stuff on EBay and the trying to decide which card box they should buy up. The guy closest to the cart saw me eyeballing his loot and then noticed the "Cobra Industries" ID thing that they were giving out at the Hub display at SDCC. "Joe fan, huh?" he says. "Yah, some cool stuff you got there," I say with a bit of sarcasm. So dood hands me a business card with his EBay store on it and tells me he'll sell them to me online. And if I mention that we spoke in Target, he'll (get this) give me a discount on shipping. I just walked away and muttered... scalper. I was pissed.

SJ I would have chewed him a new asshole right then and there with the card. That woulda been the end of it. Or I woulda just gone up one side of his sorry ass, down the other.
But.. Since I'm not into much collecting joes I probally would not have been in that boat to begin with. Thanks for the Birthday wish Snake-Eyes. Much appreciated. 32 now.. yikes..
