Sorry for asking such a question to you guys, but since I'm a noob to Joe collecting... I was wondering how many of you guys have the SDCC Destro 2-pack, and what was your opinoin of it. I'm tempted to pull the trigger and order it from HTS since it's only $24.99 there and like $54.99 everywhere else.

Thanks guys! Decision made, orderd 2. I gotta open 1, and leave the other MISB. I love minty fresh figures. 10% off used, should have gone different on shipping. Standard from hts is the worst. Guess I'll get them by new years.

To Joerhyno: I admit I labeled this guy a scalper but he was throwing off some tell-tale signs and behaviors that most of us "cool guys" don't do: First, he was standing squarely in front of the pegs of SW figures and didn't even turn to acknowledge me, let alone slide over to let me even get a peek at what was there. He was not moving for anyone or anything. I took three or four passes by him and tried to get a glimpse and he was totally zoned in on those figures he was analyzing. Second, he had that crazy list. This was a multipage, Excel-style sheet with little yellow text boxes and he was poring over it for a long time. I've seen some crazy collectors and they just grab the good ones and scram. He was being extra careful with what he was looking at. Third, he was scrutinizing these figures closer than I've ever done and I'm one of the most anal/particular people I know. He was also targeting just two figures from that assortment which are commonly known as the rarest ones. When he left those were the only figures taken from both case assortments. The whole wave was considered rare at that point but he only left with the rarest figures. He may have been on the up-and-up but he was still throwing off a major vibe and I don't think I was too off-the-mark by my assessment.

Found a Crimson Hydra at the Addison Wal Mart (Lake St. and Rohlwing) on Saturday morning but left it there. Also found (and picked up) a Bullseye and Silver Centurion Iron Man today at the TRU sale.
