Because that's where you want to be trapped and vulnerable... Somalia!

I have always known that my order will take forever, but I simply never order anything from him that I need quickly, mostly just interesting parts I might need eventually or haven't seen elsewhere. So on that basis, I've placed an occasional order and happily waited the eternity to get them...

I jumped on one, mostly because I only have the CIA huey presently. Plus, I like dealing with FM. I bought my F-16C from them, and they seem like really cool folks. I like free shipping, and I like not ordering from Badcat...

flyingmule has these for $97 + free shipping.

Awesome. I love buying cases/sets and not having to worry about hunting down short-packed figures. The only downside to BBTS (or any other e-tailer) in that regard is that they don't make any distinction in variants. I couldn't order ML Punisher for fear of getting Blade (ugh) or Moonstar...

Somehow I think we will be all alone on Math Island.

I don't think people understand the correct definition of "price gouging". Any time someone sees a price higher than they want to pay or higher than another store, it must be "price gouging". Evil, evil price gouging. When gas stations think there is a storm coming to the gulf and they hike...

Nah, we'll bring it back. Last week I got my overdue orders from Jessie, and I'm happy with all the parts. Rock on. (I'm still laughing at the "zoo animals come from here"...)

This is all I know...

Yeah, at SDCC they showed the Tac platform with Duke, Roadblock, CC, and a couple of troopers. I guess it wasn't ready for the first wave. No way they don't produce the set with the two leader figures.

Not really. There is a snake eyes, storm shadow, flint, jinx, duke, etc. There are plenty of characters for movie fans to recognize even if the deco isn't 100% movie accurate.

I'm unclear on something. When we saw these back at SDCC, I don't recall them being TRU exclusives. Are they the only one carrying Joe Kre-O? Come to think of it, Target and WM in my area have all stopped carrying any Kre-O or any kind. All the TF and Battleship stuff got clearanced, never...

Yeah, it's just one random figure. I first thought that it was a 12-pack too at an awesome price (b/c let's face it, that's what 12 lego men SHOULD cost), but alas, no. It's just a blind bag. Clutch and the tiny VAMP is what got me. And the tiny Flint.

Scalping is buying up the retail stock and reselling at grossly inflated prices. Buying toys from the manufacturer and selling them at whatever price they like is vastly different. A true scalper adds an additional middle-man to the buying process. An etailer is no different than WM.com...

Not really if you consider how well the Battleship movie-tie-in Kre-O sets performed. That was an epic trainwreck. They didn't even make it to the lego isle, just straight to clearance where they gathered dust. Honestly, I would not even blink at these if they were based on the movies. The...

That was my sentiment exactly (see earlier in this thread). Since then, my son (who is soon to turn six) has really developed a love for legos, and I don't think I can resist trying to nudge him toward liking joes via these building sets. The opportunity is right there. And if he hates them...

Apparently GI Joe Kre-O sets are TRU exclusives (WTH), and they are up for pre-order at buy-one-get-one-50% off. And it actually takes the 50% off the next most expensive item (limit three discounts if I read it correctly). Not bad at all...

I in no way implied anyone's toy collection should be a slave to comics canon, merely that the character as portrayed in recent years is nowhere nearly as cool as he once was. Funny how some people can't handle some comics discussion in their comic toy thread. My bad.

Don't get me started on what Remender did to Punisher... I'm just thankful the Rucka run was able to wash away the bad taste from that frankencastle $#!*.

He WAS a great baddie for Spider-Man, but he quickly became a one-trick-pony. He could beat spidey at absolutely everything, then some sonic trick, doodad, or gadget would save the day. It was fun the first few times. Then it just became repetitive. I just don't care for Flash as a hero...
