I've been on vacation the past two weeks and did a bit of hunting and eBaying.
Went hunting with Cyko, RougeTiger and a couple other collectors last Friday. RT knew a guy who runs a comic/collectable shop. RT talked him into staying open later. We made it worth his while. I picked up the Tanks for the Memories Con set and the ARC-170. The other guys spent their fair share too, we probably covered the guy's rent for the month. At another comic/collectables shop I picked up the A-wing and a few figures. Toys R Us forced the X-wing and Republic Gunship on me, both are awesome. I'm not really a Prequel collector, but since I got the Gunship and ARC-170, I had to get a few Clones of various types to display with them. One I had to get was the new Black Series Clone Pilot coz the figure that came with the Gunship sucked.

Image

As I was checking out Clones on eBay, I found an Obi-Wan that I had no idea existed. It resembled his appearance from the Tartakovski Clone Wars series, but with a real looking head sculpt. The seller was in Denver (where I am vacationing) and we agreed to meet. The guy had bought a storage unit that hadn't made rent and it had a butt load of SW stuff in it. He went through and pulled out the stuff he wanted and eBayed the rest. He showed me what he had and I found one of my SW Grails; The Imperial Shuttle. Along with the shuttle I got a Commander Cody, Commander Bly and two Imperial Officers to pilot the shuttle.

Image

Now I just gotta figure out how in the heck I'm going to get the stuff home...

Had a few good days. Finally found the ultimate wave yesterday and grabbed Data Viper (which is a ton of plastic...you definitely get your money's worth), Combat Ninja and Ultimate Firefly (really just wanted the Hiss drone...which I love). Then today I discovered a TRU express had opened in the mall, and found another Combat Ninja (already trading the first one for a CC...the one figure neither place had and my main want from the wave) and an Avengers Assemble Black Widow.

I missed out on the Abomination wave for the third time today, but I did find the new Grey Hulk from it, which I really wanted. Also found a clearanced Silver Surfer/Dr. Strange comic pack for $7 at Walmart. And grabbed an Ultimate Duke from KMart.

Finally hit a Bit Lots and picked up the PTE 8-Wheeler. Also snagged a G.I. Joe Kre-O Major Bludd and another Snow Job. All I'm missing now are the armybuilders from that wave.

Oh and I found a Megabloks 6-pack of the Might Morphin Power Rangers figures. Red, Blue, Black, Yellow, Pink and Green Rangers. I'm not into the Megabloks style figures but I couldn't resist the classic Rangers.

so I went to TRU today to use my 20% off coupon
MU pegs were empty as usual
I flag down an employee & ask if they have any anywhere...
he scans the barcode on the peg & says they haven't had any since MARCH! FREAKING MARCH!!!!! no wonder I can't find anything at all!!!!
I'm sure they haven't gotten any new Joes in since I was last there either. empty pegs

plus these blind KREO bags are bad as some moron decided to open a few to see which ones are in them
I think I got a BAT for a friend

I haven't received them yet but I just snagged some Retaliation Joes from NerdRAGEToys. I picked up 2 Ultimate Duke (to use for a movie accurate Joe team), 3 Crimson Guard (though I HATE that helmet) and Ultimate Storm Shadow (peer pressure, you ALL made me do it!).

Mailman just dropped a big box filled with Dust Tactics sets.
I don't play the game, but I really like those miniatures.

Hit the TRU express again (I love this thing...the TRU on my side of town became a damn Babies R Us years ago, and the other one is out in The Hills Have Eyes country, so I haven't been to TRU in a long, long time). Picked up a SW Padme figure (fodder), an Avengers Assemble Red Skull (probably fodder, but pretty cool on its own), a Legolas/Tauriel set (fodder, but I'm really surprised how high quality these figures are...the hobbit figures never came anywhere near my area until now), and an Ultimate Storm Shadow. I wasn't going to get this one, but they had a '$10 off $50 or more' deal going on, and I was at $40, so SS was essentially free. So glad I got is figure....finally a decent v1 modern update. I like it even better than the Renegades version (....anyone want my Renegades version? I only really need one SS).

I also got some awesomeness in the mail. I ordered Thor King Laufey and Volstaag figures from Hobo Ninja (I missed out on King Loki). Shakka85 also sent me his AWESOME me-headed AT custom. I need to take some dio shots with that, it's too cool not to.

Ditto. MJ certainly did not disappoint. Just gotta find uses for all of this great stuff -- and there are still two more sets on the way!

This past weekend I got a Quinjet from TJ Maxx marked down.

Also got two PTE campsite/tents, a PTE jeep w/trailer, and 2 Hot Wheels cases to put some recent Hot Wheels buys into.

How is their service and product quality? I've been eyeing a few things for my Kre-O Joes but have been a bit hesitant to pull the trigger.
