Any Firefly/ Zartan sightings in RI yet?

Any Anything???

I haven't been looking in RI lately, thanks to all those revision packs clogging up inventory and pegs.

I am from Boston and I was down in Providence in August to see Rancid play.
What a cool city!

Anyway, on our way out of town the next day I thought it would be a cool idea to go look at that big mall downtown...right near the train station.

They didn't even have a toy store there!

How is this possible?

It seems to me like Hasbro must be a major part of the local economy. So how is it that there is not a Hasbro outlet store right there in town somewhere? And how is it that local stores are not FULLY stocked?

I guess I just don't understand economics.

there used to be a Kay Bee there, but Kay Bee has been closing stores left and right.

Sometimes Newbury Comics will have joe, but I don't really count them as a major toy or joe retailer.

I picked up a firebat and Sharc at the TRU in attleboro Also at emerald mall, as of yesterday, someone traded in a huge joe collection at the Toy Vault, there's a lot of 25th troop builders. They're all loose.

Did anyone see the senior ranking officer packs with Ace, wild bill, and star duster? or any of wave 10 and DVD pack with Dusty?

Things I am looking for will pay FAIR CASH VALUE: Transformers,: Classics Ultra magnus and Skywarp, Titainium ultra magnus. OPened is fine.
