So I'll be in Gastonia and Raleigh for about 2 weeks during the end of December for family, but I'll be out and about, anyone there got an extra Blowtorch who could meet up?
I'd be willing to pay $15 or so for him, and that will satiate my wave 13 hunger, since the others don't impress me and I can wait.
I've also got an extra Eel, 2 spare B.A.T.s and some others that I'd be willing to trade, but would need to know so I can pack them with me on the trip.
Dunno how much I can bring back with me, but on my drive to Raleigh from Gastonia I plan on making a few hunt-stops.
I've got a carry-on bag that I'm bringing a Wii with me for my sis, so I'll have at least a duffel's worth to bring back some stuff.
How is Raleigh/Gastonia for Joes? It was fairly dry on 25th Joes when I left in January, but there's been an explosion since then with all the new stuff. 2008's been a kickass year for us, despite all our bitching. Where I moved to in CA is chock full of nerds, and our distribution sucks, so it's hard to find much at retail right now.
Anyways, just a hi, and a heads up if anyone could meet up over the Christmas time while I'm back home. I joined the 'Tank when I was already moved to CA, so I kind of missed the chance to do much Joe-hunting in my native land.
(BTW, not to steal a thread or crash a party... Tell me to EFF off if that's my place.
Also, didn't realize there were so many active NC Tankers!)
Hi Mandingo Rex,
Please let us know when you're in town. I can't say how hunting will be here but you might find some new stuff. Seems that a lot of stores around here went from wave 10 or 11 to 13.
BTW, I have no problem with you jumping in on the NC posts. The wife and I love San Francisco. It's just too expensive to move there. So we take a trip out there at least once a year. Great city!!!

You're correct on the Rattler stickers, Axelay. I guess I spoke to soon. I may check into getting better ones for them.
