Unfortunately, I don't think we can send toys to Iraq :( I tried to send a Transformer to my buddy and it was returned. His wife told me that he was only allowed to receive specific items and "pick me ups" such as cards/pictures. That made absolutely no sense to me...as a toy would make an awesome pick-me-up. Maybe the person who sent it back didn't like TFs? I dunno. If there is a way to ensure he gets what anyone would send, then I'm sure someone here will step up to the plate. They do every time, even with all of the bitching & moaning, anger management moments and tit-for-tat nonsense. At the end of the day, we all share the same frustrations. Just because some don't show it the same as others do doesn't mean it's not there. So yes, if there is a way to help this guy out, let's make sure we do so. Not like he can blame a scalper, bender, ninja or parrapa the rappa for a lack of 25th items in Baghdad. |

I'll just have to try my luck the next time I'm home on leave. I didn't manage to get any of the Wave 7 figures before I left home, they weren't out in our area yet. Also, I do Blame Parappa the Rappa for my not finding any cobra vipers. Last edited by JamesxOnly; 05-27-2008 at 08:20 PM.. |

Glad you got Bludd DMan, but did'nt this fig JUST come out ?
Maybe a little early to start at thread cause you're having trouble finding one...no ? Seems every wave that comes out people panic if they can't find the figures in the first few days, remember all the pain & anguish over wave 5 ? ...need any of those ? Give it another 2 weeks and you'll be losing count of how many you pass up on the pegs. Patients is a virtue, just cause you haven't found it in the first 9 days or so of release ...take a deep breath...doesn't mean you won't find them over the next...few...months...

2 CDs A long winded letter (you guys know how I type, lol) Transformers Jazz (his favorite character) A few pictures I think I may have sent oreos? I don't remember. I know it was junk food of some sort. We used his home address as the mailing addy. His wife told me that it was returned with a pre-fabbed letter. I'm going to have to dig in to that a little deeper. Quote:

I'm so tired of the " Balding overweight guy buying toys must be a scalper " comment! Im bald, and not the thinnest guy in the world ( 5ft11 195 ) So now I'm a scalper too?? Friggin grow up! and OMG I have a kid I buy toys for, so I'm lying now on top of everything? Geez some of you people need to get over it! Why aren't you calling car dealers scalpers?? They buy from a company and resell at a higher profit! OMG so does every other friggin company in the world! Yea I hate those idiots on ebay charging 19.99 plus 7.00 shipping for 1 figure, but unless you know for a fact that the guy you saw in the store who bought the last figure is turning around and plopping it on ebay, SHUT UP!
And this whole " I was there at 6am when the stores opened and the scalper beat me to it " crap is nonsense! What the hell were you doing there at 6am as well? Buying toys just like him.....A few weeks back, someone whined that he got yelled at buy another customer about running in the store to the action figure aisle, and cried " You must be a scalper because you don't want me running in the store " That was unbelievable to even post that. If I saw a grown man running in the store, I'd yell at you too. Running after action figures, unreal. Just do what I do, pay the extra 2 or 3 bucks and shut up, or waste 50 a week in gas coming home with nothing.

See, thank you! I knew that there had to be some absofrigginlute B.S. involved. What I sent to him wasn't anything odd or dangerous. I sent him:
2 CDs A long winded letter (you guys know how I type, lol) Transformers Jazz (his favorite character) A few pictures I think I may have sent oreos? I don't remember. I know it was junk food of some sort. We used his home address as the mailing addy. His wife told me that it was returned with a pre-fabbed letter. I'm going to have to dig in to that a little deeper. When are you set to return home? I figured. He really is to blame for everything. On the other note, I should be home on leave in about a month and a half. |

Hey Duffmann,
You don't live in Wisconsin do you? Because I ran into a guy like that on the West side of Madison last week. I can't get my hands on alot of characters. Zartan, Torpedo and many more. When I get to the store there is only a few on the shelves and at first I thought it was a Midwest thing, but after seeing that guy and his basket full, I wonder now. However- growing up as a kid in Miami FL- I never had a problem with getting my hands on figures, it's only now being an adult and living here in WI I'm having such problems. |
