So, what toys did you buy or get this week?

[Rollo Tomassi]

I had bought some SW Legos for the boy over at TRU, and then saw them mucho cheaper at Target this week, so I got the TIEDefender and the Wampa/Snowspeeder set, as well as the Tauntaun/Turret set. Then I took the TIE and Wampa back to TRU and still "made" an extra $20 after the transaction.

For myself, I got Cliffjumper, Dirge and Thrust. Poor Lord Straxus is looking like the pegwarmer of the series. I guess thats what happens when you get renamed Nubian Booty Call.

[Rollo Tomassi]

Oh well that's damn disappointing. I just opened up Thrust and his face has been completely demoved with a screwdriver or something. Its all gouged to hell. Dammit. Now I have to go back over there and hope the other one is still there AND its not in a similar condition.

[anarky]

Worst case, you could exchange him at Wal-Mart. Thrust isn't exactly a pegwarmer, but he's not exactly flying off shelves, either.

[Rollo Tomassi]

The other one was still there. And he has a face.
Ugh. Now I have to track down that douche Ramjet from a couple years ago. Coincidentally, Ramjet is the one I didn't have as a kid either. Had (and still have in the basement somewhere) Dirge and Thrust, but not RJ.

[anarky]

Ramjet and Dirge were the only Seekers I had. My mom came home from the doctor, or something, and they stopped and got two jets (Ramjet and Dirge, who were so new no one had heard of them). Dirge was technically my brother's. He lost a wing less than a month later.

You should've gotten the TIE defender when it was 50% off at TRU!

just so everyone knows, you can pick up the new LEGO Slave I at target for $57.99 right now - it's reduced to $67.99 and there's a $10 off coupon in their "Give Jolly SAVE Merrily" coupon book. if you have another 10% off red card coupon and use your red card, you'll get another 15% off, which basically means you can get it for $50.

[anarky]

If you're spending that much anyway, there's also a coupon on the back of the same book for a $15 gift card when you spend $150. So if you've got necessities to buy, or still need to get some Christmas presents....

[Diabolical]

The previous two posts were brought to you by Target.

[anarky]

No, vyn's was. I'm trying to add on to his by ripping Target off an additional $15 he didn't mention. :p

Good work Rollo! You have just taken our first step into a larger world. Soon you will realize how lucrative this is. I actually return figures full-time for a living now, and live in a beautiful mansion overlooking the Hawaiian beach.

Grabbed a BAT and a Cobra soldier from Marshalls. It turns out not all of the 25th figures are marked down to $2.

HEADS UP!
TJ Max & Marshalls are getting Legos in. I've seen some Mini Racer sets, Atlantis, Miners, and Bonicle. The Atlantis & Mini Racer sets were $40 at TRU, but $30 at here.

Ross is getting Star Wars battle packs like Birth of Darth Vader, Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul, & the clones with the bubble gun for their ship. The only OT set was Luke, the Ewok w/ Glider, and Imperial Officer. I think they were $12.

Got a Cobra Trooper, Para-Trooper, Viper, and Python Officer for $2 each. No BATs. I want BATs.

The ROC stuff was sort of on clearance, and at all different prices. I started grabbing stuff when I saw the two Cobra Commanders on the front were $3 each. Then I noticed the figures I'd picked up were still $4.99. And some other figures were marked down to $4. It was a mess.

They had Hall of Heroes figures, but I don't need any of them. I don't need one Viper who looks markedly better than his buddies. If Flint weren't $7, I might get him, but he's not worth that just to get some short sleeves.

[Ran]

I almost bought the HOH Flint and Firefly a few times, but decided I really didn't need them. They had a City Strike Snake Eyes but remembered that I'm not army building Snake Eyes, even though I plan on getting the new ROC version.

By the way, TRU has the 2 for $9.99 G.I. Joe, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star Wars, & Marvel Universe Fri and Sat.

I need to take a picture of the Flint I kit-bashed and those Choppers for my Dreadnoughts I got from the Dollar Store. I just wish I could find Buzzer.

[Ran]

Got a Cybertron Soundwave. I was in Target for something else and saw him, plus it was on sale for $8. Pretty nifty.
