OK so check this out. I'm a BIG guy and as such I really don't make light of people being overweight but this has to be said.
My friend and I were walking through the toy aisles at target. We were talking and having a good laugh when I spied it 0_0 POC 3 pegs FULL of carded figures. I almost shat myself and exclaimed much to my undoing. OH MY GOD they have the new joes in! Well I guess I said this a little too loudly because a very robust fellow in one of those motorized carts on the other end of the aisle perked right up, Shot out of his cart like a bat out of Hell and dashed to the pegs. He proceeded to snatch each and every joe off them and placed them lovingly in his basket. he then looked over his shoulder as he slowly sped away in his cart. I almost lost my cool and beat his huge ass. I want to cry now. That was complete bullshit what he pulled. My friend is never going to let me live that down. |

I have 2 words Hotwheels guy.Some Hotwheels collectors will go after other figure lines,Star Wars mainly.I don't buy Hot wheels if I do they are treasure hunts for a buddy of mine.I am very sorry to here that.people have no class or manners.You should have grabbed what you could,you saw them first.That's what I have to do.I am sure the guy that grabbed the joes probably will put them on Ebay.The guy in the motorized cart must have been a NASCAR driver.

If there is any silver lining in that or anything I can poke fun at is the fact he was so out of breath and wheezing when he started pulling away, He may have a heart attack. Dude was red-faced and sweated up pretty good by the time he sat back down. If you ever heard that Adam Sandler skit "fatty McGee", you know what I'm talking about when I say the wheezing got so bad, that I thought the fire fighters were going to show up.
All I know is, I am a patient man and atleast now I know they're trickling into stores so if they come in, I can snag what I want. {Beach Head, Firefly, Alley viper, and CC.} Oh and my contact at Kmart said the 3rd is the street date for them with the new star wars stuff so you may want to be there when they open if you want any. Well before the hotwheels guys show up. LMAO |

University Target put out all the new stuff EXCEPT the Star Wars. The toy aisle looks awesome. I even managed to get a MU Juggernaut this morning.
Let me tell you, Star Wars takes up a good 3rd of one side of the aisle. Transformers takes up a huge chunk of the other side. |

Oh yeah, they had the Alphas/Mechs/figures. I only picked up a few of the figures, because I don't have a lot of extra cash on me right now. However, I've been having my son save his allowance for the last 3 weeks, and I will take him later this afternoon! Muahahahahahahahahahahahaha *breathes deeply* ....ahahahahahaaha!
I got a minty, mint Cobra Commander and Alley Viper. Man, I'm choppin' at the bit to get off work and stare at these guys. It was so beautiful seeing them there that I almost cried. EDIT: Joes only has a single row of pegs, and enough shelf space to fit the Mechs and Alphas side-by-side. However, it's still nice to see the new stuff.

COMPLETELY off subject, while on vacation this past week I went on a little hike with my brother and father in the Lake Tahoe area. While we were poking around we came across a HUGE natural quartz deposit. Apparently someone had already been mining it, because there was a 5 ft deep/6 ft wide hole in the ground with quartz piled all around the hole. According to my brother (he's a geologist) gold or silver is commonly found along with quartz, and a passing hiker confirmed that the "miner" had attempted to file a gold claim but was unsuccessful.
Now I know quartz isn't THAT exciting, but actually seeing a natural deposit on that scale was to me (I had only seen small deposits inside rocks). My brother and I jumped into the hole, and started looking around. We ended up finding a ton of clear quartz, smoke quartz, some mica type green stuff, some gold flakey stuff (my brother knows what it is), and A PETRIFIED TREE! I have to say I've seen all of that stuff before, but never found it myself. I'll take some pictures, and send it to if any of you guys are interested. I only took small rocks since I was going to be flying back, but trust me when I say there were some HUGE boulder versions of the same stuff. |

My dad has always had a huge interest in geology and dendrology (trees). Whenever we hike in east TN, he will walk with his head straight up looking at leaves and identifying tree species instead of focusing on the ground in front of him. When we traveled the west when I was a kid, we visited every canyon and nat'l park we could. Brought back some pink granite from Mt Evans and souvenirs from Arches, Yellowstone, pyrite from CO, toured mines, etc. Love it.

I hit Jones Valley Target today and they had re-set as well.
They had some new Star Wars figs...Cloud Car Pilot, ATAT Commander and some of those anny figs. Also had an assortment of the other figs as well. For Marvel they had 1 red and 1 green Hulk, but none of the new assortment. If you have been looking for Transformers, they have all of the newest ones (War for Cybertron, Thrust, etc.) For Joes they had the Alpha vehicles and some figs. I actually picked up Storm Shadow and Duke on Saturday from University Target so today I got Snow Job and Beach Head. No CC and no Alley Viper. Also no Mechs, but they were still putting out freight while I was there so they might show up later. |
