Well they didnt, they canceled my pre-order a week later and by then TRU and walmart had sold out. I had to go to ebay to get em.

Then the Sky striker dilema. I pre-ordered mine, payed for it. Target got them in and the online store didnt ship mine out till 3 weeks later. I had to sit there for 3 weeks watching people buy up multiples all over Targets and I didnt have one......it was like 2nd grade all over again! all the kids brough GI Joe Dragonflies and Skystrikers to show N tell and my parent wouldnt even buy me a trouble bubble! ...*sob*.

That sucks. If that happend to me when I was a kid Id be pist. Anyway, has the toys r us in kendal 117 restocked yet?

It has been for a while, as well as the ARH, IFV, and the jeep with the trailer; but are only recently starting to show up. I'm not really sure whether some had been out before and are now showing up again. I know that some that are still in the back of the boxes i had to get through JC Penney.

Doral WM has a whole bunch of IGs and Hazard Vipers. Saw a guy in scrubs take 2 Black Dragons, leaving one. Parking was a nightmare.
International TRU has IGs, Stalkers, and HPs.

I was there yesterday around 6 pm, and they had some Renegades, but mostly ROC and POC wave 1. I doubt they have restocked already.

Spotted Renegades figures at the Target in South Tampa on Gandy.

I spotted a set of Renegades at Tyrone TRU this week. I skipped. Is the POC line over with? If so, I enjoyed some of the characters that was in that line. One of the best lines IMO.

On the confirmation e-mail I got it says the total is 89.00 bucks which is both sets before shipping. Watch me get screwed out of these too!

Just ordered mine today, I refuse to miss out on these. Shipping is araound $10.00 I belive, and it ships by UPS.

How's the job hunt going musashi? Any luck?

Yep, just pre-ordered these as well. Some look a little funky, but they're worth it at less than $10 each including shipping. Now i need to start buying more bikes.

Not good bro! No one is hiring retail managers right now and those who are look at my resume, realize I lost my job at Borders and assume they can pay me 9 bucks an hour to run a store!

I have unemployment benefits. Stores like GameStop want to offer me a "management" possition making less then what the unemployment office is paying me right now. Our economy is nuts bro!

So both you and Heltskelt ordered the BBTS sets?
Okay let me ask you something. The sets are like 89 bucks for both right? then the site quotes you like 10.99 for shipping which should be a total of 99.99 right? but when I got my confirmation number the total says "$89.99" no shipping added.

Did you guys get the same or does your total include the shipping already?
