I ordered the last of my figures that I'll be getting for awhile from Kokomo. Actually, I made 2 preorders, because after thinking about it, I realized I did need another SciFi for my display. It was as I was making my second preorder that I noticed that my first preorder was going to be shipped to my home address and not my office address. I usually have stuff shipped to the office because the postal carrier is a little more reliable there, and it cuts down on some discussions with my wife regarding toys! ;-) Anyway, I emailed Kokomo and asked if both orders could be shipped together to my office address. They responded in the affirmative and even refunded me a little on shipping as it was going to be cheaper to send the 2 orders together. What a great shop Kokomo is!
So as everyone is aware, Kokomo got wv 4 in this week, and I got notification that I should get mine on Sat., Dec 17, my birthday! But then, Thursday, I get an email from our secretary that she's going to be out from Friday until Tuesday, so the office would be closed! I wasn't terribly excited about waiting until Tuesday, but that's life. So I had to take my kids to get some stuff done yesterday morning, and as we were coming home, I saw a box on the porch. It didn't look like a very big box, but, well, you know where this is going! Kokomo had actually sent my preorders to my house! It's like they knew! It definitely made my birthday a little happier. I have to say that I'm so impressed with the figures I got -- SciFi, Airtight, Lifeline, and the Renegades Trooper. Lifeline is the one that I really wanted the most, but out of all of them, I think I'm most impressed with SciFi, even though I didn't particularly care for him as a kid. Anyway, I just wanted to share that story because I thought it was cool.

Dude, I am not sure how many tankers haved actually been to the store front itself...but to a GI JOE collector, it has to be mecca.
I was surprised when I walked in there the first time, 30 minutes later my GF was bugging me to leave, but I couldnt, there was so much cool stuff there, always new product, every GI JOE flight vehicle under the sun flying across the celiing...I know they have a video of the entire store on their web page, but it doesnt really do it Justice. I have said this before, but if you are close to the store on a trip in the midwest, take the time, and stop by, it is a very intense place and youll ge glad you did. thw owners are very nice and down to earth, and didnt mind the hundred pricing and random questions I throw at them. Since I moved to VA, I have been missing the proximity to the store (1.5 hours away), and I am hoping to run back there when I get home for x-mas this thursday... Seriously check it out, its AWESOME

Isn't Kokomo the store that had the 9 or so Flaggs out front one time?

So far I've been very impressed with Kokomo. I've had 6 orders from them and they've always been the cheapest and fastest to get my stuff to me.
Oh, and Happy Birthday! |

Happy Birthday man!
First time I dealt with Kokomo they were so awesome they have my loyalty from here on in. And man, I pray I never make it to their store, because I WILL re-mortgage the house. :(

Happy birthday brother. Great story! So Sci-Fiis your fav from that wave?? He must be really cool looking. I'm really looking forward to Lifeline. I was excited for Airtight being that I owned the original as a kid, but not so much lately. Maybe if I have him in hand I'll think differently.
