I never thought I would EVER admit this... but today I received, all at once, everything I've ordered over the past few weeks...
Wave 12 Ripper, Diver, Ninja Viper. Wave 13 Blowtorch, Resolute Duke, Resolute Trooper, Resolute Cobra Commander. Ghost Hawk. Sting Raider. My Secret Santa gift. The vintage Mamba I ordered off eBay. Jet Pack Duke I got for my boss and an extra Armored Cobra Commander for my newly arrived vintage Pogo... So I'm sitting on my couch, not knowing who or what to open first... then the in-laws came over and wanted to see our Christmas lights and take us to dinner... so I had to leave it all there. Get back home, unwrap and assemble the Mamba, open the Ghost Hawk and Sting Raider, apply decals. Open one of each of the waves I got... Ack!!! Not enough time in the day to absorb it all... GI Joe overload!!!! My wife finally tells me it's way past our bedtime and I can "play" with my toys tomorrow... but I end up staying downstairs for another hour, lol, by then she's fallen asleep. I never thought I'd admit it... but I got too much in one day for me to handle... ever happen to you? EDIT: I just found a box on my front door (We enter the house thru the garage) from HTS with my Dataframe/Beachhead comic pack and a coupon for $5 bucks off my next order.

I'll take some of them off your hands. They'll have a good home, and it's for your own sanity.

I have another package scheduled to arrive tomorrow, I kid you not...
I found a website that was actually giving away figures!!! The price was $0.00, so my wife added them to the cart and got em... (IG Destro, Bludd and Torpedo) They'll be arriving with the remainder of my wave 12.

I had a situation like that about 2 months ago when the following showed up all at once:
Wave 10, new comic packs, firebat, Sideshow General Obi-Wan, RAH Wicket, 6 Jack Sparrow Cos babies (X-Mas presents for friends) & a SDCC blue Cobra Commander. I tend to buy in spurts, and it always seems to either come in together or a day or two apart. Drives my wife nuts. And, probably my mailman too... That's why he always gets a nice Christmas gift too! |

They no longer have them, that's why I was hesitant to post about it, plus they aren't sponsors, so I didn't want to step on any toes... but the site is called toynk.
My wife does google searches and spends hours searching websites to find the best deals... sometimes it's HTS, sometimes it's Smalljoes or BBTS, sometimes it's toynk or EE. Sometimes we buy from several websites at the same time, one might have the Python Crimson Guard for $7.00, but the Ninja Viper for $9.99. So she buys just the Crimson Guard, etc... She also searches for discount codes... I believe we got one for 20% off all the wave 13 I just got, saved like $11 bucks... They shipped fast too, they had them in stock and provided tracking numbers. It pays to do your homework.

Wow, you must hate your boss. LOL. *just joking*
The only time I have ever experienced a toy overload of any kind was one Christmas a long time ago when I was a kid. I think one year I got A couple of Nintendo games, a NES Advantage joystick and a couple of Joe vehicles. And I remember I was all like, "Ahhh! What should I play with first!!!" LOL. |

[the old chick from the Sapranos:] Oh poor you!
You just got a huge load of Joe items that your wife searched all over the net to get for you at discounts or free. Think about that for a second... [Ahnold voice:] Stop whining! [Bruce voice:] Somebody call the waaaambulance... That's all in jest of course (in case that didn't translate). Congrats on the big score! Take your time with them. It'll be okay. Save some for Christmas morning. BTW, you need to take your wife out on the town with all that money she's saving you and for all those hours finding them... she's earned it for sure. I have my Ghosthawk/Sting Raider coming today, Wave 13 coming Monday and a Bravo Team Abrams hopefully coming before Christmas. Luckily I won't be opening most of that for a while. |
