Hey guys, me and aileyba were talking the other day and thoughtit would be cool if we could get our fellow Joe collectors together and have our own meeting/get together (you know, to discuss/hang out/whatever). Just curious to see who is interested and when you guys could do it. Think it over and let me know.

Hooper X, I feel your pain man. I know the feeling of not seeing BATs and Snow Serpies but the rest of wave 9 hanging on the pegs. I had to order my BATs and Snow Serpies online. Some people might argue it's first come, first serve, but why not grab the entire wave but just the two figures? Although I must say the cancer part is too harsh. I don't know if this applies to you or not, but when I am not looking for something, they seem to be everywhere. I live in Duluth so it might be too far for you, but if I ever see any, I will let you know.
I think what is going on too is that each box has two time as many of the other characters in wave 9 than B.A.Ts and Snow Serpent per box maker then hard to find.

So uh, this is kind of an open letter to whoever's been hitting every Wal-Mart and Target between Decatur and Gainesville and only buying the BATs.
I hate you. I seriously hate you. I hope you get cancer of the knee. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't leave the entire rest of the wave sitting there mockingly, you know. EDIT TO ADD: Oh. It's this guy. Thanks a lot, you scalping jerkwad. (incidentally, I can safely confirm that Wave 9 has hit the Gresham Rd, Buford, and Oakwood WMs and the Tucker Target, although someone has already gone to the trouble of picking the BATs up.) Ya know that is not the worst I've seen them on ebay in fact that kind a reasonable when you factor in gas and time. Also as much as I hate to say we are dealing with a first come first server situation because each of us are going to pick up bat when we see them. i try my best when I have extra cash to help out others, but lately I've not had much in that way of extra cash to pick out an extra fig or two. Last few weeks I had to leave figs on the self that I wanted.

Sounds good to me I might help to band together to fight the evil forces of Scaplers and Destro

Yeah, I feel your pain as well.
I saw plenty of B.A.TS. at the Oakwood WM a couple of weeks ago and opted to buy 2 Hawks for me and my son. Went back a few days later and realized that I left my wallet at home. Still plenty of B.A.T.S. Now I can't find any B.A.T.S. I've seen plenty of the rest of Wave 9. Oh well, what can ya do? |

Aileybay and I went searching for last night and didn't find B.A.Ts, but we did find Snow serpents we didn't pick them up. On top of not find B.A.Ts we got in a car wreck on the way home; every involved is OK.
I think what is going on too is that each box has two time as many of the other characters in wave 9 than B.A.Ts and Snow Serpent per box maker then hard to find. Unless Habro starts shipping whole cases or comes out with a troop builder set, I think these will continue to be a hard find. I imagine these will end up being the most popular troop builder yet. |

I'd be up for meeting, Just let me know when and where.
Saw a wave 8 revision case this morning at Pleasant Hill Super Wally. Actually saw it last night on the crate but figured I would go this morning but someone got there before me and picked up the SE with parka, Rock n roll and Armored CC, at least I think those were the figures missing from what I have read. Gumbo question for you, so I have a blank card template that I got from another tanker. All we need is a hisstank driver bubble and we can package up your figure. I'm going to finish tweaking the card tonite and try and print it up tomorrow cause my bosses will be out of town.

"First come first served" only applies, in my book, when you're actually buying the toys for personal use. I'll make an allowance for picking some up for a friend, but buying ten BATs just to throw on eBay? That's scalping. You're not doing that as a service, you're doing that to make money. The sad part is, some people need their plastic crack fix badly enough that they're willing to accommodate these pieces of shit. Days like these, I want to throw my entire 25th collection on ebay and be done with it. (Oh, and to stay on-topic - Edgewood Target got the Hiss Driver/Jetpack Duke/Armored CC refresh wave, but someone was there before 8:46 and scooped up the CC.) |
