I picked up the 10-packs today at Target. 

I didn't notice at first, but they were on sale.  The shelf tag said $19.99, but they rang up at only $18.99 plus tax.  Repacks and repaints aside, $20 and change for 10 little figures is a pretty good deal.

Reports are coming in that shelf tags at Target are going up with Tin prices tags. Someone told me that they're priced at $25.99, but I can't confirm that.


I saw the tins at my local Target this AM - shelf said $24.99 plus tax (DPCI 087-06-0534).  They only had the prequel sets, but it's definitely the cheapest price in town. 

They had a whole endcap set up with the Mace Battle Packs, the GH Cinema Scene 10pks ($19.99) and a spot for the Mini-Unleashed 10-packs as well...


edit: a few of the MN guys have reported that at some local Targets the tins are ringing up on sale for $23.74 despite the $24.99 shelf tag.

According to Yoda's News, the Fisto will include a $5 gift card just like the Dooku Key.

Or you could have just read it on the front page here last night...  ::)

Site Feedback, Suggestions, and Help / Re: Okay, what was up with the Asian pictures???

Yeah, we got spammed pretty good this AM.  The offender was banned ASAP and most of the damage was cleaned up, but unfortunately we can't clean up the PMs.  The PMs were sent out to just about everyone with an active account it looks like, so everyone "lucked out" with that image.  

We have had a huge influx of spammers creating accounts and we are looking into more security/precautions to help avoid this in the future...

The local CBS Sports guy (Mark Rosen) was on our local sports radio channel this AM talking up the SD/Denver game they had scheduled for CBS on Sunday afternoon and how he was looking forward to it...  I guess he didn't get "flex-schedule" memo last week.  :-X

Are we all in agreement that OJ Simpson is officially the Worst Person of All Time?

O.J. Simpson to discuss killings - "If I Did It"


So, he's going to tell us all how he would have killed Nicole Brown, the mother of his children, if he did it.  Yet another way to cash in on the act of murder.  I really, really, really, hope he rots in Hell.

isnt Tey How a woman?

Yes, EU stuff (RPG handbook) established Tey How as female.  Another interesting Tey How note - from StarWars.com:

Quote
In Episode I, Amanda [Lucas] provided the voice of Neimoidian pilot Tey How.

Incidentally, I threw in the Ross version of Green Lantern, in case Jeff is being forced to follow along at home.  It's a great figure, but I think a bit larger than the GL series of GL figures. 

I must have missed this line amongst the big posts, but yeah - I agree.  I've got that Ross GL figure and he is a bit larger than the rest of the GL figures.  Seems to be that those Ross figures are a bit on the large scale.

Scale with DC stuff is frustrating.  Most of the Hasbro/Mattel stuff ends up being closer to 6" - 6/5" scale, while the DCD stuff is closer to 7" - 7.5" scale.   ::)
