Hogging It Up
 

WOAH WOAH...SLOW DOWN PARTNER :D ALL I PICKED UP TODAY WAS "ONE" ROC FLASH TODAY :rolleyes:

Over the past two weeks I got:

Headquarters For Heroes Barbecue
Crimson Neo-Viper
Eel
Ice Dagger
SRO Destro

Got RoC Hawk today. As you can see by the review found here http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=23788

Also, TRU had Star Wars figs BOGO free, so I got Legacy Kenobi and Ploo Koon

my new hauls are 10 con 09 vipers :)
now I just need to get the twins and the baroness
and blades and the chopper and I'll have all the con sets .

Surprisingly, I found the Wal-Mart exclusive ROC 2-packs right here in Canada, so I'm now happily in possession of Shockblast and the Night Creeper.

I see myself going to Walmart Tomorrow.I can only hope they made it down here.

I've been to two Wal-Marts today and only one had them, and they weren't even with the main action figure section... so it's a question of luck and of thoroughly searching.

Just won this

Are you, like, a millionaire or something?

Yes, I do believe Death is a millionaire. Amazing what a computer programmer/ace cg guy can make!



On my own side... I picked up Sgt Stone last week.

Then today, due to LordRaven's review, I found HAWK today. I was gonna skip him, but I want a different Hawk to use when fighting a battle. Don't get me wrong, I love the classic jacket-ed version, but does he really need that jacket inside a building? ANyway, I rather like him. WIsh the beret (like Stone's came off) but oh well...

Hehe, thanks!

But really, incase anyone was wondering, I got the CG 5 packs from TRU this week more out of despiration. They were on clearance, prices reduced, and had already seen some being sold. Since the ROC line is going on, I figure it'll be my last chance to get some CG's in the classic look. So I bit the bullet and bought a bit more than what I should... kinda regret it now.

ill take a few spare CG to eleviate that regret lol

Picked up today at TRU a Night Adder,Para Viper, and Kamakura. Guess i was lucky enough to beat the local evil bay scalp(her)..Definately wouldnt mind a few more Night adders in my collection, they have a really great vest that has soo many possibilities. Of course, the new subdued color Paravipers are going to work well for some night insertion shots in working on..

Unless the filecard has changed since I've seen it, Night Adder is an individual not unlike Copperhead, Croc Master and Big Boa, rather than an army builder.

I do believe you are correct sir!! I will be buying several of these to make my own Cobra security force!!

Thanks to that millionaire guy Death_At_Midnight, I am now the happy owner of the TRU Firefly! :)

My pleasure, Jay. Now you too are well on your way to millionaire-knight-hood. :-)

I picked up a pit commando and flash a few days ago. Not sure how i feel about the cmdo since i have ONLY 1. But Flash is growing on me. I hated him at first cuz the original Flash was my fave for a few years. But this seems like a worthy update to me, for some odd reason.

Do what I do. Use him as Grunt.

The "real" Grunt is so underwhelming, no one will notice. :p

TRU had a 30% off sale on ROC items so I picked up two Neo-Vipers, two Elite-Vipers and two Viper Commandos.

I would've loved to get a MARS 3-pack too... maybe later this week...

I got an unusual assist from a scalper today! I ran into this guy last weekend at TRU right as it opened, he bought up all the TRU exclusive SRO three packs and after I got mine all the attack on the pit sets! He was fairly plesent but a scalper none the less! This morning I ran into him again at opening and he sold me a Rex and a arctic snake eyes he had picked up remembering that thats who I was looking for also once inside the store he gave me the Pit Commando he grabbed off the shelf cause I wanted him! He also has the manager putting aside a case of the Snow Serpent and Benchpress exclusives when they come in and told me he would set aside some for me if I wanted next Saturday! Now I feel bad, I hate scalpers but this guy is using his connections/skills to help me out when I didn't even ask him too! :confused:

Grr scalpers!

And at the same time, this one could be an asset to secure some loot. Like you, Scuba Steve, I have mixed feelings on this. I lost my chance to get a Target exclusive MOBAT earlier last year when suddenly all 8 sets (at $54 each) were gone when I went back there to buy one. I know there's a scalper running around here and might have seen him in action a few times.

Anyway, I am frustrated with this TRU and Target, and all the Walmarts in this here city-town. Nothing new and they don't intend to get new stuff for a while. TRU here is stocking up on Christmas items, but concentrating on their Babies-R-Us stock.

I guess, take advantage of this scalper and make him into an ally (sp?) to assist in getting the stuff you need. Better to have him on your side than competition.

Collecting Joes now days is really cut-throat business.

Ironic update to my story! later last evening I went with my old lady up to Walmart to get another cheap bookshelf for my joe room and they restocked the Joes, there must have been at least 5 full sets with Rex on the pegs. AAARRRGGGGG! the only figures bought up out of the restock.... all the pit commandos!!! :mad:

Nothing good ever comes of scalpers. The fact that the manager is holding stuff for this one is against company policy and is messed up.

I scored 2 pit comandos, 2 night creeper/shockblast sets.

My TRU wasn't having that deal. I took a look and well, there wasn't anything I'd buy anyway. I admit, I am waiting for the NiteRaven to drop in price. So instead, I bought a TRUE HEROES (some tru brand) Blackhawk for what would cost the same as 3 Joe figures at full price. Cheaper plastic, 3 crappy figures, a gas barrel and 2 gas cans... If I were just a kid into generic war toys but had a clue how much things can cost, this thing was quite a deal even at full price. *shrug*

TRU in Canada, G.
