Yeah. So.
Awkward day. Went to TrU, picked up Rodimus (thanks, EH!), looked through some SW. A guy came walking into the isle, picked up a Slave 1. Saw the Rodimus I had was all, "Dude! Do they have anymore?!" I knew they didn't, but didn't want to say, "Well, a buddy hid one for me, so no." I helped "look" a bit more, and then he picked up a CC and lamented the absence of AV. I felt giving, so I offered to sell him the one I got yesterday. He said he did not have cash but would get me a figure to trade out. Went to grab a soda, he grabs the one next to the one I picked up, go to checkout.... but I had not picked a figure for him to trade me (?).... so walk to our cars, which were next to each other. I really cannot say way, but I was getting creeped out a bit. Not like he was ghey, or the situation was, but creeped out. Shut up, I cannot explain it. Handed him the AV, he said, "Well I was gonna get that Transformer for you, I don't have any cash...." So 30 excrutiatingly awkward seconds later, I said, "Okay, yeah, so enjoy." And I left. Out $7 for the AV, but I do not care, I just left. Guh. |

Hey camp let me add my part to your story. So I am working in selma and I get a call from my friend and he says he is going to tru and i ask him to look for slave 1 for me, he calls me later and says he got 1 for me and let me say that it is AWSOME. I only wish it was the empire one instead but it is great. The mace fighter is ok but I really don't care for it but the slave 1 is a must have. Anyways I get home and read the tank and see your post even before I talk to him and I knew who it was I laugh my ass off it was great. Just to let you know about him he is a great guy super nice but has too much book smarts and not nearly enough common smarts. When he came over tonight I asked him if they had any other slave 1s to conferm my suspension and the first thing hes says is no but I saw this guy with a rodimus and I knew it was him. I would have told him about your post but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. Next time I see you at bobs i will tell you some stories and you will understand.

Hey ed,
Bobs is the best comics shop around, he has more back issues than any store in the state we just marked down around 15000 books to $1, and about 5000 $2 books. He does give discounts and pull lists. And he is on Hwy 11 between robuck and trussville. I also have a pull list there and work there so I am pretty biased but it has the best selection of comics in the state. Come by some time and just look around I am sure you or anyone would be happy. |

Look, feel free to tell Dylan-the-Samford-man -- learned in scene 4 of our Tales of the Awkward cinema!! -- that it's cool and pay it forward. Feel free to leave out the creeped out/awkward/I'd-rather-be-out-7-bucks-than-deal-with-this-a-moment-longer parts. Or the part where when we walked out to the parking lot, a friend of his walk up and says, "Hey cool, you got the Slave 1! Are you buying that AV from him? I just saw one at 280 Target." And as I try to reach for my toy back and said, "280? Cool. You can try to pick that one up," he looked at the Joe and then me and said, "Well, I am sure I will see you around here again." And that's when my f**k-it-just-leave o'meter sounded like a foghorn and I left. And yes. I went to 280. And I bought that damn AV. Moral of the story? There is none. But suddenly I hate all of you. DAMN YOU ALL!!!

Plus, when you go there on Free Comic Book Day, Chuck will call you out and say, "Well I guess I know which one YOU'RE here for!"
