I only want one single figure out of all of the three packs - Alpine. Shit like this frustrates me, because I'm sure I'll have the same problem getting him when those hit retail. People who do this shit to make essentially a pittance on eBay can kiss my ass.

Hey Major, how is it we haven't ran into each other or met up yet! I've hung out with OSOK and Ozzie a number of times man we all should finally get off our asses and have a MI joebro meet up like Ozzie and I have been talking about forever!

ANYWAY, I know it wasn't you buddy, the worker at the customer service counter described who it was waiting at the doors before opening, I know of this particular scalper/ reseller as we have had run ins before at Target. But YES I'm down for working with you on the shadow guards as well if I come across any of the marine devastation pack.

Saginaw TRU finally got the 2-packs in. They had the contents of 1 case on the shelf, so I grabbed the 1 each of the Gung-Ho, Shipwreck, and Spirit sets. Bring on the 3-packs!

Probably because I haven't been in this game for that long (though I have been back into toys for about three years now, so I guess time flies). Also, because I am pretty much an in-the-closet toy dork. I am always down for going out for beers though.

Well, then...do you happen to customize?

Poorly. I can paint reasonably well. I am handy with tools. What I lack, which is probably the most important skill, is artistic vision. All the ability to execute is pretty much useless without it. I have quite a few unfinished projects that are unfinished because I either get frustrated that they aren't as good as the ones here and also because of a lack of time (work, kids, etc.). I do continue to refine my abilities when time permits.

Skill level is irrelevant when establishing a get together with food/beverages/and an opportunity to swap fodder and customize together. Chad/Marine-73, we need a location where Michiganders can come together and customize!

[Marine-73]

I agree man! We have plenty of joebros here in the mitten to warrant a nice size gathering just have to finalize location, date, and time guys!

Meanwhile, I scored the Silent Strike set at Novi. One left this morning. Also 3 Desert Duel sets. No figures since the 2 packs sold out last week. Still awaiting the Alpine/Rock Rampage set, then I think I'm done.

Okemos toyrus has storm shadow spirit and army builder 2 pack in also 4 basilisk foe striker boxes. I scored 1 stormy Shipp and 2 sky's trike sets. Woohoo.

The Jackson toysrus has all the vehicles and the shipwreck and army builder packs.
