Zoltron threw me off, or I misunderstood. I was thinking it was the middle of the month... The end actually works better for me anyways. I dunno if I'm going to go, I may for at least one day. Been awhile since I've been to much of a convention of any sort. |

Funny youse guys should mention conventions, as someone stuck green post-it notes on all the Joe toys at the Pleasant Hill Target advertising the Sacramento shindig that's happening next month:
11th Annual Sacramento GI Joe Show - One Sixth Warrior Forum The 11th Annual Sacramento GI Joe Show will be held Saturday, February 21, 2009 at: National Guard Armory 1013 58'th Street Sacarmento, CA 95819 I went to the one last year. It was okay. Everything was rather marked up and not really worth driving an hour+ to go. If you ain't got nothin' else to do it might be youse guys thing.

WELL ITS MAINLY A 12 INCH MARKET OUT THERE to be honest. ITs the only time and place my 12 inch customs actually move. A lot of "other" dealers go out there too but theres a buncha scalper guys that have been showing up the last few years for the smaller shit. Still i have managed to find a few nice vintage things out there but what out for this one dude who shows up from time to time. Very shady and will not give deals period. wish eh woudl stop coming. Hope fully see some of you guys out there. Look for me.. I'll have a couple of jeeps loaded with 12 inch soldiers from 'nam and ww2

Dudes, what is with the vehicles? When I was in NC over Christmas, the TRUs all had the vehicles, and the fixed-arm versions of Clutch, etc. I really wanted to replace my Duke-armed boxed Clutch and Breaker AND get an opener of Clutch with the fixed arms, but they're nowhere to be found here.
There are seriously no slots on any of the stores I go to anymore that have room for any vehicles. Those 12" GI Barbies suck. Why do they mass-produce those damn things? I'm sure there are people like Deck who love them (no offense) but can't they take a look at things and go, hmm... those damned things don't move... Let's not produce as many? TRUs are ridiculously overstocked with the 5-packs and SRO2 sets now, I want to punch someone at Hasbro. There's like maybe one peg for singles, and 2 for CPs, which we keep getting old waves from 6 months ago. I hate to be a sourpuss, but come on. |

I got "keem-em-boxed" sets of Wild Bill/Scrap Iron, Mainframe/Beachhead, and HM/SE CPs at the TRU off Blossom Hill yesterday... Sad thing is, at $12/CP, I think I can do better online, and the quality of the packaging was okay, but the figures inside all had SOME flaw... I kept the receipt, may be returning them. $38 for 3 CPs plus tax isn't any cheaper than buying them from HTS or BBTS WITH shipping and no discounts.
In other news, the Target at the mall off Blossom Hill/Santa Teresa (Oakridge Mall?) had DVD packs #3 and #4, but I didn't get either because the QuickKick box was sorta scratched up, and the Dusty set was missing the webgear (go figure). Both were good otherwise, which irritates me because I'm still looking for replacements of both for my MISB sets... They're good openers... Well, minus the Dusty webgear. Other than that, that Target had 2 Flash figures and a bunch of Cobra Flints. Last edited by Mandingo Rex; 01-25-2009 at 09:16 PM.. |
