Thanks for all the congrats guys. You're some of the best people on the interwebs.



We'll be sharing the spare bedroom as a hobby room. But it has these ceiling height built in shelves that are all mine for displaying my stuff.

Congratulations, man! If you haven't had a separate room to work in before, you'll be amazed how much more productive it will allow you to be.

Nice!

Congrats on the new place!

Stopped into Dollar General and got a full set of Wave 2 JOEs, but I also got the green Shipwreck to complete the set I just got Monday.

Also grabbed the WWE CM Punk and Randy Orton figures.

At the DGs you're finding those at, did they have only wave two or some of both on the pegs? I'm trying to figure out if they're waiting for all the first ones to sell before they put out the second series.

They didn't have any on the pegs. They were holding them in the back for me. :

After I discovered the location a few weeks back, I talked with one of the managers and explained I was looking for the figures. She took my name and number and called me awhile back when she got some in.That was when I got the entire Wave 1 set in the small white box.

I stopped in this past Monday and was told they had some for me that they hadn't shelved. That was all of Wave 2 save Shipwreck. Today I happened to be playing chauffeur again and realized the appointment was about 3/4 of a mile from the store from the opposite direction.

I went in and didn't see anything on the shelves. I grabbed the Punk and Orton figures, and as I walked towards the front the manager saw me and said, "You're back! We got more in for you."

She led me into the storage area and I found all 6 Wave 2 figures and then found the missing Shipwreck from Monday.

Funny thing was, I was about to leave with just the WWE figures. Glad I stuck around.

Pile of Loot was finally shipped from BBTS, got iGear Kup replacement heads, MOTUC Rattlor, and Predator Series 8 set (2 different Dutch figures and a Jungle Predator. Dutch is fantastic, now I'm really looking forward to NECA's Aliens line.

Ahhh, lucky. I tried that with the closest Dollar General to my house, but they never called, even though they got some in the next time I went. By that time, I had the whole first series anyway.

I'm hoping this means the product is gonna be more plentiful now. I seem to be army building a bunch of them.

Of Wave 2, I think I'm only looking to get a few more Shipwrecks, Duke, and the Cobra Trooper. No need for more Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, or Cobra Commander.

Stopped at Target and they had put out some newer MU figures.

Got 2x Jubilee, and 2x Professor X. Passed on the 2x Blastar.

While I was there, one of my employees called me to say he had found another DG blue Shipwreck and a Cobra Trooper in black.

_________________

I found a single green Shipwreck today. I like the green a lot in person. It's a good base body for a generic trooper, or for some of the 82 guys. Also found TF Prime Rumble at Big Lots. That may just be my favorite bot from that line, or at the very least even with Dead End.

The other day, I found one of the deluxe Caps that came with the weird power armor and spinning black star shield thing super clearanced at a TJ Maxx for $1.

Last night I got two things I didn't want.

First I went to get into my car at the mall and the wind picked up as I was bending to get in. The door swung shut hitting my glasses, bending the frames out of whack.

Then, less than 10 minutes later, I get pulled over for having a headlight out.

Now I have to run errands, picking up a new headlight, get it installed, and then go to the Troopers Barracks a few miles up the road to get them to sign off on it.

Update:

Got my glasses adjusted for no charge.

Got replacement headlight bulbs and installed. Drove a few miles down the road and had the State Trooper verify repair and sign off on it.

Earlier today I saw Wal-Mart had the new Superman toys in. I picked up a General Zod for the head, then realized I could slap a Bale Batman head on the body for an unique Batman armor.

Got home and there was a package from amazon, I had order both seasons of Sledge Hammer on DVD along with a DVD copy of the Tom Arnold movie "McHale's Navy'. Grand total: $15.97 for all three. I combined it while pre-ordering the upcoming GIJOE Field Manual 2 to get free shipping.

The first season is now listed at over $49 right now, so I did good to jump on it.

Forgot to mention I picked up the first season of Barney Miller last night too...
