I need the
* City Strike-Cobra Flight Pod with Elite Viper * Jungle Assault-Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun with Range Viper I'm going to try to check if a couple Ross's in Tacoma and Lakewood, Washington State, actually have any left. I found the other two at the Ross near me in Olympia. If anyone is selling, I'm interested in one of each of the above items. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Every ross i went to has had 5 sets or remnants of 5 sets. I went to 5. Some had a few in on monday and put out more over the next couple days but i think theyve mostly been limited to a few sets put out over a few days. I still hope for a restock...

Well they get new product every day so anything new they probably got that day. They are not allowed to keep stock in the back. That's just the way the company does things. If it's not on the floor they can't sell it and they want it gone. If an item sits for 60 days I think it usually gets marked down. I can't remember fully, it's been a while since I've dealt with them.

I feel for those of you without a nearby ROSS to get the latest wave 3 canceled Target exclusives at a great price.
To help give you some perspective, there was a major mudslide in my hometown today, close to where I live. About 20 homes were destroyed by the last 6 days of non-stop rain in SoCal. 3 days before Christmas. Up To 20 Highland Homes Damaged By Mud « CBS Los Angeles- News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and the Best of LA Watch the video. Appreciate what you have and I hope you enjoy the holidays.

I don't understand, what kind of perspective? Its very tragic as far as loss of life goes. But as someone who fled CA decades ago and has recently spent time again working there I no longer have any sympathy past that. These people were not just hanging out when mean old mother nature decided to crap on them. Many of these areas are encroachments into geologically unsound areas. You cant build a neighborhood on a dry river plane and not expect it to flood some decade, Lancaster, Palmdale, Bakersfield to name a few. You cant build a city on unconsolidated sediment near a strike slip fault and not expect an earthquake and liquefaction to knock it down eventually, I'm looking at you Loma Prieta. And then there's the fires, Malibu area every 2-3 years, recently the Flintridge mess. Arson or not, you built in the wilderness. Wildfires happen just as easy as kids with firecrackers. The lasts straw was how the residents of La Conchita acted after their disaster. It summed up the California sense of entitlement to a tee. As a child I knew that area was a disaster waiting to happen, and this was before I went to school and even knew what a scarp was or about the clay shale under liner in the hill side. Sorry but my perspective was set a long time ago on these people. |

"ALL OF WHICH RESTOCKED." This statement is presented as an absolute, in caps nonetheless.
I believe this statement, "and nothing at Ross has ever been a one-shot deal." too is an absolute that simply cannot be proclaimed with 100% certainity. ...unless...ARE YOU ROSS? That would explain a lot. |

i have to say this thread has turned from happy go lucky to outright anger and i find it rather amusing. i, like many other tankers don't have any ross stores in my state, so i don't really have a chance to even enter the race to get these. i thought it was going to be nice though since it'd give me chance at scoring them on ebay, but looking at the sorely inflated prices on ebay, i'll pass. i collect as a hobby, not a need, and yes sometimes i might pay a little more than retail, but i refuse to pay 10x retail price, and if any tankers here are doing the price gouging on ebay, you should be ashamed of yourself. forums like these are to help out fellow collectors, not get the latest scoop for what's hot and hold back from other like minded collectors. and as for the ones actually paying those prices, really? for a toy? i just can't justify it no matter how i try and reason it out.
to get back somewhat on topic though, for those with ross stores not able to get them, i feel for you and at the same time i don't, cause you did get the aoci/doci sets, along with stingers and arctic hiss', not to mention east coast family dollars got the resolute cobra troopers as well. i just find it interesting how these little plastic soldiers can enrage a community though. so, i will still wish luck to everyone who has a chance at scoring these at retail prices and congratulate everyone who did manage to score a set, but at least try and keep some patience for a set that no one really wanted in the first place. (well, except for that range viper, damn he looks cool) |
