Tis possible. What are you doing awake at this hour anyway? I called out of work last night to offer moral support to my gf, about to head home. Or to Ross stores scattered throughout the Delaware Valley, haven't decided yet. I tried the calling-and-asking route, but I got a couple of "we're shorthanded, so sorry can't check anything for you" and a couple of "sure let me check" *on hold for two seconds* "sorry we don't have that." The rest of the stores are almost, but not entirely, exactly out of my way. Nothing's been sighted around here yet, but then again, by the time they are, they'll already have been whisked away to the land of hoarders and scalpers (since it seems everyone who's posted a score did in fact buy everything in sight that wasn't a glider). But I want that damned Range Viper. So I'm torn.
Edit: I compromised and hit one store that was on the way home. In hindsight it was a terrible choice because it was on the opposite side of the road from the direction I was going, and the traffic patterns there are typical Philly-area asstasticness. Took 15 minutes to get in and out of the lots and in the right directions, took 5 minutes in the store. Of course nothing. Though I did hit a TJ Maxx that really WAS on the way and found a Joe Monopoly set for $12. I'll have to break it out the next time someone actually wants to play Monopoly (which isn't often, as Settlers of Catan typically dominates the game selection. Monopoly simply doesn't measure up.)

Monopoly? Bah, Joe-opoly? Hmm... Anyway, I was up because the dogs needed to go outside.
You know, when the first Target jets hit, I called asking for them, gave them the DPCI [which was correct] and was told the Buzz Lightyear space shuttle was out of stock. I was bummed... then I sorted the info in my head, ran it through twice more, realized that I wasn't looking said shuttle and wound up confused. I had her read back the number and found she had the correct one and remained confused on my drive home. Anyway, I have my sister on the hunt. Which is kinda funny since last year I put my dad on the hunt for the Target wv 2 Deluxes and he became addicted with finding them. Now, my sister is the same way, I think. She was given orders to leave some for Shogi but any extras she comes across I will do what I can to help out here still. What else... what else. Oh yeah I think Galactus is coming: Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 12-23-2010 at 07:12 AM.. |

90% of your post confused the hell out of me.

I got a Desert Ram off eBay last night. It was $25 with shipping and d/c. I'm OK with it. It's a little more than I would have liked, but oh well. I did get a PoC black Hiss for the same price shipped from Major Blood. All these cool items showing up at stores about 4 hours away from me at the closest in Jersey.

Confused me as I typed it.
Yeah, I keep looking at eBay thinking "Well, if they'd been at Target at $9.99, they'd still be marked up at 20+ bucks on eBay..." But it still seems wrong. |

Yeah, I've got a trade pending for the ones I want. It'll probably cost me more than I'd pay for 'em if I find 'em at a store, but it saves running around.

My Ross looks like a giant took a big sack of cut rate merchandise and scattered it haphazardly around a few racks and tables. No sign of vehicles.

Off (but really on) Topic: Any idea when BBTS will have the PoC Wave 4 figures ready to ship? I hate waiting for pre-orders.

Gotta say, I am very impressed with BBTS. I shipped my POL on Dec 17th, the last day where they promised items would arrive in time for Christmas. And sure enough, items arrived today. Awesome.
