A small bit of that loot consisted of 2 cases of wave 6 POC. The rest consisted of stuff from Japan and other obscure crap.

Maybe if I'm in the mood I'll post pics.

3 years,...? Really? Damn!

I thought there was a limitation on how long BBTS will hold your PoL? 6 months or something. Perhaps they'll keep extending it so long as you continue to purchase stuff.

Yeah, turns out I purchased stuff at just the right time, every time, to warrant it staying around for over 3 years! I should win an award. LOL.

I looked over my purchases tonight, some stuff I'll have to return or get rid of because the items are broken/damaged in the minty-fresh sealed packaging. Mostly Gundams. Stupid factory errors.

Luckily all the other items and the G.I.Joe's are all fine. Heck, these 12 POC wave 6 figures are all better looking than the ones I passed on at Target back in the Summer. Well, except for training Snake Eyes, those were always a bit sloppy.

Now to get the final two!

Got any info/pics on the gundams? I sometimes use them for some custom work.

Unfinished Gundam B.A.T. I started a few years ago and will evenually finish:

I think the clock resets on your PoL when something gets added to it. If you had an order sit there for 180 days with nothing being added to it, then they'll ship it. I think it's only been a year or a year and a half since they instituted that policy.

Ya iv'e seen him here and there why you need him?

netkid · 01-28-2012, 10:17 AM

I just wanted to know if he was still on shelves.

What about the Prime/Commetor 2-pack?

Air-tight · 01-29-2012, 02:48 AM

Anyone have an extra MOC Lifeline that they want to trade? Could have sworn I read somewhere that someone picked one up sometime recently..I have an extra Sci-Fi and an extra Airtight that I picked up from Walgreens in Salem tonight, either of which I'd be willing to trade for him.. Let me know. Thanks!
