What, really? Noooo... that guy said, "Nuts to you people who refuse to leave in the threat of megastorm. We're not coming to rescue you." That's awesome.
Might as well be on a megaphone shouting, "Reap what you sow, Bitches!" from a helicopter overhead as the floods of icy water sweep through. Anyway... where was I? Oh, yes... waiting to make the drive to get to TRU at opening time. One hour, forty minutes to go. |

Any luck? I have a $10 off $100 coupon that expires today, I'm probably going to try and hit TRU on my lunch break. I doubt I'm going to find anything as I have yet to even see a shelf tag anywhere (and if they do appear today 6pm is awful late for one to be sticking around), but I guess it's worth a try.

No... Had I gone West to Louisville I could've had two. I went East instead to Lexington. Just burned up gas and lost four hours sleep.
Ah well... |

Yep... and I bought one on eBay for around $168. Yes, I caved and supported a scalper which does hurt... a lot. But I can't keep driving to Lexington and I can't trust them to tell me the truth over the phone after MP-TC. Plus, if the price is going to be $120 now, as it was stated in the KY Sightings thread by the last guy who bought one at Lexington, the seller in Texas couldn't have made more than thirty-something off of me since the shipping was "free". I wasted more than thiry bucks driving to Lexington this last time out for nothing.
So, yeah, now I should have one at least and I stick to my justification for doing what I did. And by buying it, I'll have opened the flood gates for the rest of them to start appearing on shelves magically here in the state. By that logic and wishful thinking, I've done the community a service. |

...$30 for a trip to TRU? Yeah, I woulda just paid the scalpers from the start. Or networked here or on TFW to get a hookup. There seems to be plenty of people buying multiples so they can "get them before the scalpers do." Which means they're not scalpers, right? And they'll sell them to you at cost or for a reasonable mark up.
Narnia sure is nice this time of year. |

There is a certain degree of hypocrisy that exsists in those that condemn scalping by any accounts but talk about how they picked up an item specifically for "for trade fodder" and then expect to get something far better in the exchange.

Test reply. The site is acting goofy, it locks up when I try to reply, then I can't access from my ip. On 3G, lets see what happens
