Picked up some loose (bagged) figures today from a local shop today.

Short mouth Biker Scout (complete with blaster)
Rancor Keeper (my orig. vintage one was ****)
Nien Numb (mint with blaster)
Walrus Man (minty with blaster)
Klaatu (grayish face, fuzzier skirt)

all for $36.

Wow, that's a huge deal.  You'd pay close to that for the Scout variation alone.  Was this Hot Comics?  Any other vint goodies at good prices?  Stang, nice find Jay!

Has anyone come across the ANH or ROTS Legacy waves at Target yet?  I hear them getting more and more ROTJ figures, but nothing beyond that.  Seems like that's a good recipe to gum up their distribution again.

Everyone's a critic.

Not to beat a dead horse or turn into the PC police, but I think with rape jokes you'll find that most people are critics.

I suppose I could've (should've?) quantified the rape comment rather than inferring that the conversation was amongst all heterosexual guys and thus it'd be rape, and all that stuff.  Nyuck nyuck.  Critics.   

Or just try not to link rape with anything funny. 

...AND Jay helped me land a full set of ROTS figures this week.  Thanks Jayson - I really appreciate all the help!

Follow up for those of you reading along with the Toyrocket drama:

Okay, so I got a notice from Toyrocket today saying that part of my order was backstocked.  Despite all items being ordered as “In-Stock” they apparently oversold an item for $30.  The CS person asked if I wanted to add $30 of other merchandise or wait for the backordered item to replenish (estimated time 7-10 days).  Their policy is to ship what’s in stock, then send an additional shipment with backordered product at no additional shipping charge.  Fair Enough.

So, I promptly responded that I would be fine waiting for my backordered item and that they should please move forward with the rest of my order ASAP.  I ordered almost a week ago now and it’s still “processing.” 

A few hours later, I receive a note stating that the backordered item was CANCELLED.  WTF.  The email says some pre-order/backorder items were mistakenly included in their red tag sale, but my initial order shows that the item was listed as In-Stock.  Whatever.  To add insult to injury, they also promptly refunded me $29.87 (I paid exactly $30 in my order), so apparently I have to pay a $.13 fee for their error.  WTF.  (Thirteen cents on Friday the 13th – that’s creepy).  They had a flat ship rate deal as well, so now the ship cost per item in my order has technically increased.

THEN I get a message stating that they were overwhelmed with orders and my (remaining) products will likely take ANOTHER 3-5 days to ship.  Seriously.

As Lando said, “This deal is getting worse all the time!”  Starting to wonder which, if any, of my items I will actually see and when.  Hopefully this is the only glitch I’ll encounter.  Anyone else seeing movement on their stuff?

She has a short skirt did yo see pirates of the Caribian

Yeah I know it's Elizabeeth Swan - I'm just teazing.   

Anyone raped by someone named Morgan holding the rank of Captain?  THey've had a little in them too then.

You've maybe just stepped over the line a tad with that one.
