I do absolutely hate the green guns that some of these joes are shipping with. Silver, sure, Black, of course! ....green? WTF!?!
That is why Marauder Inc will be getting some more cash from me here really soon! |

Fridge,
Thats sucks. I have opened boxes before and employees saw me and they didnt say anything. Probably glad to get the help. I would relay this story to the manager. Is he really going to get mad at you for trying to buy stuff that wal mart was selling? Next time just say "Yo no hablo inglés" |

Anyway, when I finally goy home and opened the comic packs I was pretty impressed with the figures. It was the comics that dissapointed me. I was excited to hear that there were going to be new Hama comics, but I thought they were all pretty weak, and the art was terrible.

Fridge, wow. Definitely an emissary of Cobra there. Are you sure he was an employee? If he was unloading the pallets he probably shouldn't have been at the front of the store or following you. Probably should have stuck to his job.

I looked everywhere nervously for an associate (it is funny to me that a grown ass man can start panicking in a retail store thinking that someone might beat him to the toy he has been hunting for). I looked for someone in toys and electronics, finding no employee I grabbed the 2 cases and took them to the Joe section. I opened them and began to put the ones I didn't want on pegs. I was startled by a loud voice, and looked up to see one of the guys who brings out the pallets yelling at me. "Hey, do you work here! DO YOU WORK HERE!" I was overcome with the feeling a 10 year old busted for trying to steal a pack of baseball cards knows all to well. He walked towards me yelling "You can't touch that! Do you work here!" I was a little afraid, and felt as though I had done something really bad. I said "I'm going to buy some of them and I was just trying to help out by putting the rest up man, I'm not stealing anything." He said that the store policy says that I could not but them. Just then a kindly old woman working in sporting goods came by on the other end of the isle and said "Honey bring those over to my counter, I will ring you up."
Her register was broken and could not accept debit cards, so she gave me a cart to take the Joes I was buying to the font to check out. The guy who tried to stop me followed me to the front and watched as I stood in line behind the typical WM Shoppers who took 20 minutes to make 2 purchases. The guy was standing outside when I walked out the door and watched me as I walked out to my truck. I jumped in and locked the door and left in a hurry. That was the weirdest expierence I have ever had buying Joes.

I was disappointed with the Twins and Fred's weapons too. But that didn't last too long as I seem to have lost Fred's rifle somewhere between when I opened the figure in my car, and my toy room.
I'd love for someone to make a list of all the current 25th figures and the best Marauder weapons to substitute for the Hasbro ones. I just opened RnR last night and felt like the machine gun he had back in 1982 was ten times better than the bulky, phoney thing he comes with now.

If I were you Id check K Mart....they have had the comic packs forever now. I went two weeks ago and the had 3 Dreadnok packs just sitting there saying buy me (and there 9.99) While TARGET and WALLY WORLD never have crap... Side note if your into SW Evolution packs K Mart had all 4 of the new ones while Target and Wal Mart had N.O.T.H.I.N.G.......again. |
