That's totally fine because I have seen how you people are with how you need to fill your compulsive desires with newest toys and trinkets in the need to hoard from others "for the sake of your collection" (I have seen many of yours' collections) or make a quick-buck for your own selfish greed that I am more than willing to step aside for the sake of my health and life (literally!). Only in America.
I am not exactly sure what you are saying here, but if you are implying just because I "don't play with my toys" as a grown adult (and I LOL to any adult who does) makes me even less of a fan, than you are all wrong buddy. Just because I don't buy the new stuff such as the RoC and PoC lines (which looks atrocious, btw) and keep to collecting only the vintage toys from the 80s, which I have been collecting since 1997 I am no less of a "hardcore collector" than you or anyone else in the action figure community. In fact, I collect both Transformers and Gi Joe lines pretty hardcore. However, I have other hobbies that fill out my life than needing to spend every waking moment, day-by-day, driving from store to store, harassing store employees hoping to hit the gold mine of new toys; and then fighting over it from other collectors. Or in more recent cases, sacrificing my life and a day of work so I can sit at home tapping the F5 key over-and-over again hoping that HTS will stock in the Comic Con Sgt Slaughter; only to waste his/her day and a day of his/her life for nothing (yes, I do know about opportunity cost). In other words, people who bicker over toys (especially on a message board) that are meant for CHILDREN need to grow up and start acting like mature adults by helping fellow collectors instead of petty little children who are crying because they are not getting what they want RIGHT NOW (hence, why I say self-entitlement). Now I am waiting for you or anyone else here to twist my logical sense that I just wrote in something totally ridiculous for your own personal agenda. Have it. :::rolls eyes::: |

Yeah, but I guarantee you that none of my posts were professing how great of a person I am because I own Gi Joe A or Gi Joe B and no one else does.
Most of my posts are from the sighting boards since this is my favorite board out of all the boards on hisstank. Besides, I have already said I collect toys like Gi Joe and Transformers. There is nothing wrong with collecting toys, it's acting like a self-righteous bickering that collectors do with each other because they have something others don't but want that really bugs me. Besides 195 posts in 2 years is nothing compared to some other hisstank members. |

Now I am waiting for you or anyone else here to twist my logical sense that I just wrote in something totally ridiculous for your own personal agenda. Have it. :::rolls eyes::: Whatever, Troll... First of all. You don't know me. So be all pissed off about not being able to find shit then call other others out for the same damn thing. You call yourself "logical". Troll, please. Let's get some logic in here because I'll tell you straight up that YOU WILL GET PWND. Your responses here are a contradiction of the things you claim to bash. Signed, dated, and timestamped on forum about toys. Say what you will about others. But your ramblings speak volumes otherwise. You even said it yourself that you don't really go anywhere else on this forum but the sightings thread... That makes you a TROLL!!! I DO play with my toys... Like an adult, mind you. I customize new ones and restore vintage old ones. Much like model building or any other paint, build, or construct hobby that you can go to any Michael's Store and find your fix for. Mine just happens to do this with plastic 3.75" military themed action figures. Being that it's tough to find anything similar to it anywhere else, why not it be the toy that I loved when I was 10 years old? My kids love their version of the toys, I like mine. It's also something we share together. Even my girl (who's an Army Combat Medic) is getting into it. And she's not much younger than me. So what about that? Yes, I'm online here ALOT mind you... But being 36 and semi-retired allows me that comfort. It also allows me the comfort to be able "play with toys". But regular life doesn't allow me the comfort of camping out at my local Target store for a chance on figure that should be readily available to EVERYONE. Nor does it allow me to fully accept paying up to three times the market value of the figure just because some jack-off has no life which enables him to raid the doors as soon as they open. I've got no personal agenda. I don't stalk toys like prey. Nor do I hide information for my own benefit. In fact, if you got to know me, you'd know that I'm probably the most honest MuthaFukka you've ever met. I'd rather hurt you with the truths of your pitiful existence than maintain a BS lie. Nor do I "profess" my greatness of things that find. I only share with others with the same hobby because it's the common bond we have on this thread and the site. If I find something "great", I share in hopes that others will find the same. So you might wanna step back from the keyboard, go walk into your bathroom. Take a look in the mirror... and realize who and what you really are.

Arguing on a G.I. Joe message board. SERIOUS BUSINESS.

What the Hell is going on here?
This is a thread where we share finds... Take your goddamn bickering to PM land because I'm tired of going over page after page of this nonsensical crap. You guys get way too worked up on this board. And yes, I do realize that this is a message board for toy collecting, but it's time to grow the F&#K up. TRU Redlands: Had everything and I left it all there for whoever wants it, including 3 of the "elusive" Cobra Commanders (who is 1 per case just like Snow Job, Alley Viper & Firefly which makes them all equally 'chase-able'. Go get 'em, and hopefully some of you will think twice before you beat the Hell out of each other while in the freaking toy aisle. GROW UP BOYS. Last edited by Lantern_Lad; 08-07-2010 at 01:28 AM.. |

WOW.....
Went out AFTER work and too bad that I did, as i missed out at 2 Targets and 2 TRUs for POC AV or another CC Chase... These were the La Cienga Target and TRU as well as the Jefferson Target and TRU in Culver city....did not go to the mall Target, but I figured they would be picked clean too... did pick up a BH POC. Target on La Cienga had about 3 or 4 cases worth of Figures on the Shelf but all the AV, CC, and FF were gone... I was soo pissed.... THe other 2 stated they were in stock, had a Customer service person go in the back for them to come back to tell me there was nothing.
