Dale, does that mean you don't want to sell my extra white Gretzky's for me :-\

Thought you said you were coming out here to do that? Oh I can do it with no problem, your choice for me to unload though.

I honestly cannot believe what happened today at Toys R Us.  An associate at a store I don't freqent very often actually ASKED ME if I wanted what he called "the rare white jersey" version of Ladainian Tomlinson from NFL 10.  All because he saw me holding a Jonathon Ogden figure.

Now wait.  Did this employee offer it to you because he had it stashed in the store or because he already bought it and wanted to scalp it?

Note how the numbers on the left arm are in the wrong position.

He saw that it was stashed somewhere and offered it to me.  I thanked him and went to the register and paid the store, not him.  Yeah, I thought it was odd, too.

Went to a TRU that hasn't had a damn thing in a year today.  I found both white jersey LaDainian Tomlinson and Randy Moss, then cruised over to the star wars section and found Sly Moore, Rabe, Yarua, and Pablo Jill.  Something else strange, they had the very first wave of Simpsons figures with Krusty for $2.95 each...I don't know if this is something nation wide.  The date on the packages was 2000, I don't know if these are 4 years old or if this series was rereleased, because I don't collect Simpsons.

Actually they had said months ago they were re-releasing those figs.  My brother in law's been looking for months now!

Saw Series 10 at TRU yesterday, didn't buy any since there was no Moss.  Not sure I need him anyway since I don't think there is a big difference between him and Series 1 Moss

Maybe a bit brighter Purple...I suppose it would match then with Series 9 C-Pepp

I'll let you know how they match up.  I have a series 10 Moss in my trunk and will open it today.  Culpepper is here on the shelf. 

I think the differences in color are mostly due to the way the pics were taken and the lighting.  I think the jersey colors are a pretty good match.

Jerseys are a really nice match.  I'm a little lit up on McFarlane plastic fumes, but the color seems to be identical.  The scale of the figures is really nice too, between Culpepper and Moss.  Culpepper is a much bulkier figure and taller too; Moss is a skinny little weasel.
