His name was Flashback, and I don't remember him being in the cartoon. I had almost every single one of those figures, the Sprint Hawk, and Maraj. I made the mistake of showing my 5 year old, and his best friend some episodes on Youtube, and now they're obsessed. Hopefully, one of these days I will find all my old toys, and I'll give them to my son and his friends.
My collection is very small, but it's because I am VERY picky with what I buy. I also keep most everything MoC, because I figure that I can always open them later but I can't reseal them. I do need to build some more display shelves in my man-cave, because I don't have enough room for the PoC stuff coming out. on another note got Hasbro order with Hulkbuster and Titanium man, HB looks awesome imo. |

I stopped by Marshall's on my way to home from work to see if any clear Wraiths had shown up, because I know they get trucks in on Tuesday. I saw a guy putting stock out on the shelves, and I asked him if he knew much about action figures. He said he knew a little bit, and so I asked if he had seen any clear Wraiths. He gets this big smile on his face, and whips around really quickly and says "No man, I've never seen that guy before." with his back turned to me. So, if he lurks this site let me say this; "Dude, you gotta work on that poker face, because the one you got sucks balls."
Also, I got to talking to an assistant manager of Family Dollar, and they can control their orders if they want. So, if any of you guys ask and they tell you differently they're lying. |

Ok my trip to Gardendale/Fultondale was kind of fruitful. I found a 4 pack ROC joe versus cobra set for $8 clearance. the one with desert camo heavy duty, duke, bronze mars officer and nano viper. A nice fodder set IMHO. At the Target in fultondale they had NO ROC single carded figures but they had alot of the vehicle sets, still $9.99 so I passed. I went into the isle with the little lifelike animals to see if they had a tiger and panther for my merc team I'm working on and they didn't but I found a Lt Stone sitting on the bottom shelf, someone must have missed it. I snagged it for $.88 and the lady when she rang it up thought I was trying to scam target and actually called a manager up. man it was funny when the manager made her opologize. I also picked up some little generic soldier 'tryke' for $6.99 that actually isn't half bad,with a figure who I'm going to decapitate and use his noggin for an awesome helmet.
Ross' had NOTHING excpet some joe/star wars mighty mugs which I have no interest in. So I went to Walmart on my way home and they have alot of the ROC single carded characters peg-warming. all except a shipwreck and deep six were still $6.88 but since didn't have either I picked up both. I also stopped at the flea mall on 31 and found the ROC snake eyes/Storm shadow duel set. the one with the temple pillars. Gray and brown snake eyes and red/white/light tan Storm shadow. It was $10 but I'm not sure I'd want it or not. also they had a Sigma six deep dive duke still sealed for $12 but I'm not a collector of that like although I did like the idea{kind of reminded me of that old toy the Centurians} all in all not a bad day but not a great one by any means. Oh and Brcall: I talked to the store manager at FD and he said the allocations for toys is based on volume and sales. they find out on tuesdays what they're getting in on the truck that week. no joes at that one this week but he said if a case came in on the manifest the next week, he'd call me and he'd leave it sealed when it came in for me to buy outright. |

I'm always skeptical when managers tell me that they can't order stuff for their store. There are always ways to get more product in. What's hard is to stop orders from coming in when the computer wants to order it. |

This technically isn't a lie. Their orders are automatically generated based on sales/volume, however they can modify (or initiate new orders) if they choose to. The answer you were given was given to me by another Family Dollar manager, but I didn't believe her.
