There was a Joe box of vehicles in front of me that was still sealed so I patiently waited till one of the employees had a breather and asked if they were going to restock any Joe stuff tonight. She went ahead and opened the box for me as well as another one on the pallet.
I looked back over at the SW collectors and they are still peacefully going thru the pegs, even helping each other out! Then two guys and a girl walk up and say they will wait in line (behind me). I told them people are already going thru the stuff so help themselves. They went over and it wasn't that much longer that one guy was going thru the stuff and handing them over to his wife! She is standing there with about a dozen SW figures in her arms!
A bunch of teenagers walked by and asked what was going on. I told them that this was the curse of living in the '80's and what happens when you get older.
Overall it went very smoothly and I commend the collectors who were there and made it a peacefull one!

all is well that ends well,great story.

star wars stinks :P haha j.k. there was some good scuplts in that line yes, but you know as well as do that the majority of the SW figures are kit bashes, repacks and repaints. I was looking at the legacy collection last night and the majority of them are re-packs. Its just old. Kinda like getting a snake eyes and storm shadow in every wave. It gets old.

there are alot of repacks,but this is a two sided coin,on one hand you have what you seen today with star wars,on the other,lets face it,hasbro is kit bashing the hell out of the joe line to,its just that the joe line is so new,give it time,hasbro,(a real american cheapo).

Thought about hitting TRU last night but got drunk and passed out instead. Funny thing is I woke up about 6:00am and decided to go hunting. At the Wally World about 1.5 miles away from me they had no new Joes (just 3 Vipers and a Buzzer), actually they had 2 cases of wave 1 vehichles out fresh but so do I, anyway They had 8 brand new untouched pegs full of SW Clone Wars w/every figure and the 1st day stickers as well as 8 more pegs of the legends or legacy or whatever they call the new packaged classic line. Too bad I quit buying Star Wars figs in 1982 when the new kid on the block moved into town. I was sure the lack of Joes was due to Scalpers, but these SW toys are probably hotter than G.I. Joe and they were untouched. Weird?
