BBTS just restocked with another 750+ cases

Thanks for the tip. I put an order in for two cases. Hopefully I can get rid of the extras.

I'll vouch for Brians Toys as well. I recently sold a few figures to them, and they offered a fair price and even paid for shipping. Payment and communication was made in a timely manner. I knew ordering from them was fine due to past experiences, but this was my first time selling to them and I was pleased with the experience.

  That said, I'll have 3 CW, EU soldier I don't need.

I would be happy to take them off your hands when you get them. Let me know if you would like to work something out.

I didn't see a thread for SDCC coverage (other than the exclusives) so just posted this here.  I was looking through some of the pics from SDCC, and checking out the Joe stuff...what are the red/white carded figures that are in the background of their Joe cases?  Maybe this was revealed somewhere and I just missed it, but they were much different cardbacks than the Retaliation stuff.

Those are the Dollar General GI Joes. Currently they are very hard to find (and thus, very expensive on ebay) but supposedly more should be hitting Dollar General stores in the coming months.

I got a hefty box full of Fetts in the mail yesterday, so they are shipping.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: 'The Hobbit' movie
« on: July 25, 2012, 07:34 PM »
I have mixed feelings about the possibility of The Hobbit being split into three movies. On the one hand it's very hard to complain about the chance to see more of Peter Jackson's vision of middle earth, while on the other it would suck to have to wait an extra year for the story to be wrapped up. Despite my reservations I have faith that all of the films will be done right and very entertaining, and I will happily fork over my money to see them.

Both Helicarriers (SDCC and retail) look like overpriced hunks of plastic. I see nothing fun about them. They are more-or-less undersized runway play sets on which to display figures. I had considered getting the Avengers version if I saw it at a deep discount, but these two pics have changed my mind:

This one just drove home the hilarity of the size.


And this is the skeletal appearance of the underside. I would have hung the Helicarrier from the ceiling if I got one, but there is no way I would want the underbelly to be seen.

I have only seen the Tread Ripper down in NC. I want the Ninja VAMP, but I'll probably wait until the March re-release if I don't see it locally.

Was Jinx up again too?

Supposedly yes, but for an even shorter amount of time than yesterday.

I would suggest checking HTS around 11 est tomorrow, since I have read quite a few comments from people placing duplicate orders. Another round of cancellations and restocks will most likely take place.

I shudder at the notion that they will be shipping Wave 1 figures again.....

I'm more worried about the Wave 1 figures and motorcycles clogging up pegs and preventing that awesome raft w/ diver set from hitting shelves. Hopefully the quantities of re-released "old" stuff will be on the low side.

So, anyone picking up the BMF Helicarrier from SDCC?  Last time I checked, it was still available at HTS (one of the few things actually).  I'll admit, part of me was tempted, but I've held off so far.  I really have absolutely nowhere to put something like that, but thinking like a kid makes me think it would be fun to have.

It's sold out now, but I was initially very tempted to get the Helicarrier. I did add it to my cart this afternoon, but seeing that the total after tax and shipping was $165, I quickly decided against it. While it looks impressive, I was disappointed to see that the underside is mostly hollow so I am very glad that I passed.

Much less painful than the Death Star Revenge set from last year...

I didn't order a Death Star last year but I remember how quickly it sold out. I think the GI Joes might have lasted longer than the Death Star last year. I was surprised by how "long" the Carbon Freezer stuck around, considering it had all-new figures and a relatively low price tag.

I ordered on of these today. I am SO excited to actually get some new Star Wars figures in my collection. I have almost forgotten what that feels like.

I lucked into one of each Jinx for myself. Unfortunately I don't think people will have extras, unless they want one variant or the other. HTS had a 1 per household limit on everything, which I guess allows the items to last one whole minute instead of fifteen seconds.
