TRU doesn't have much either. I have only managed to find three 501st Legion troopers, one Snowtrooper, and one Scout trooper. I've seen zero Hoth Rebel Troopers anywhere. I'm thinking I may end up having to buy them off the internet...

Hoover TrU ain't got jack.
No Docs or Sting Raiders or Shipwrecks. Figure assortment is a third of what it was before Christmas, not much of anything except the exclusive mole pod set.

It's the Animated Arcee, but with only 1 TRU I'm not anticipating getting one unless they make a shit ton of them.....if anyone sees one holla! Camp, let me know if you are looking for anything in particular and I'll hit you up. I keep checking TJMaxx for another clear wraith, but so far no one has restocked that I can tell.

I loved the TFA series and got all but Grimlock and Lugnut -- only two left that I wanted, but still cannot force myself to get. Oh well. I really do want that Arcee though! EH, I lost my mobile phone back in Dec, so if you want my new number, send me a pm and I will do the same. Saw the new MU comic packs at Trussville WM tonight. They look great.

Also, who is this "Ben the dirty, old scalper"? I'm assuming he lives in the B'ham area? Finally, stopped by Target today, but nothing had been dropped in price. RHINOs are still $24.98, and the Tie Fighter/T&N sets are both $18ish. Looks like another week of waiting. Last edited by Brcall; 02-11-2010 at 11:17 AM.. |

If I see that Arcee here in Huntsville I will let you guys know. Did you guys want the Rodimus Minor or the Cybertron Rachet?

He bought a set of movie monster figures last year in Huntsville and could not sell them, so he returned them in Hoover. He even creased the card and/or the bubble so other moc collectors could not enjoy it. Such an ass. Anyway. I do not know what the Ratchet looks like, but I think I will try to get all three (Arcee, Ratchet, Rodimus).

Ben frequents Huntsville, too. Especially TrU. Older guy, grey/white beard and hair, gut, glasses, general contempt for others. He will go into a toy isle and grab everything and then sort through what he wants or can sell, and call another scalper/hoarder/collector or two and jaw incessantly about what the store has, where he is going next, what he got, what he will sell. A couple years ago, I saw him in the Joe isle at Target and managed to pick up a BAT and a Para-Viper before he could, and he actually looked at me and said, "Give me that, I need it to complete the wave." Told him to screw off, you scalping douche-monkey. He doesn't give a damn about most of the toys he picks up, he just wants to sell them.

He doesn't have his gut, but instead has a huge chest like Optimus. He also doesn't have the "scar" that Lockdown gave him, so he has both of his eyebrows(?). |

Hey guys i wil give you my take on ben george, as some of you may or may not know I was a store manager for kb toys from 96-07 and had plenty of dealings with him. He is everything that you think he is. He was banned from my store and the galleria. I ran in to him last summer at tru while picking up some dcu figs for a friend of mine, he looked at my stack of figs like a sad dog who hasnt had a meal for a year. My favorite thing to do to him is when i see him i will go to the asile next to him pretend to call a friend and say just loud enough for him to hear "I hid the figs in a place no one will find them" then watch him look all over the toy asiles for nothing. It really is a fun thing to do I highly recomend it. People like him a repackers are what sucks about being a collector.
