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.

I would've loved to get a MARS 3-pack too... maybe later this week... __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

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! __________________

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. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

AAARRRGGGGG! the only figures bought up out of the restock.... all the pit commandos!!! __________________

The fact that the manager is holding stuff for this one is against company policy and is messed up. __________________ "The Irish when good are perfect."

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
