(Clean thoughts, people - I'm NOT going to post anything like you might be hoping for.
The camera phone image is simply too large to post here.)
I came home from school a few days ago to find this little scene on my desk. She had said that she was going to Wal-Mart and asked if there was anything I was looking for. I casually joked that I sure would like to find that B.A.T., and she responded that she didn't know what it looked like. I told her that there were some cards on my desk with a picture of it on the backs of them, and I didn't think anything more of it. I came home late and went into my office to find one of the funniest surprises she's ever left for me. She had taken my Imperial pilots and made them hold the Rebel pilots at gunpoint until they apparently agreed that the Cobras are cooler than the Joes.
She has the most astonishing luck that I've ever seen when it comes to toy hunting. I had been searching for a B.A.T. for 4 weeks across 2 states. She, on the other hand, walks into a single store, and picks out the hardest figure to find when she's not even 100% sure what she's looking for. And this isn't the first time I've seen her do it, either! She's helped me find several GI Joes and Star Wars figures over the past few years.
So yeah, I'm finally finished with wave 9. I have yet to find any new comic packs here in Raleigh. No Rattlers or Conquests, either. Super Wal-Mart on New Bern did have 2 GI Joe boxes on a pallet last night, but they were all vehicles. Haven't had time to hunt anyplace else since school just restarted this week.
