    Low: I'm giving up on Longarm and Dropkick entirely, as well as the rest of the deluxes set to release from here on out that I'm interested in. $15 (minimum, probably more like $20) for a deluxe is too much to pay because the stores won't stock them. I haven't seen a deluxe in 3 weeks (even Protoforms). (I won't buy them separate, probably another reason I'm having such a hard time finding them online in my price range...)

    High: Might be ordering from HTS in the near future at 25% off with free shipping... I guess that could be considered a high...

    I know what you mean! I had pretty much given up on deluxes as well, but I actually found Longarm, Dropkick, and CC BB today at K-Mart! So don't give up just yet because if they're showing up in my little corner of VA, they should be everywhere soon!

    This is from the past few days:

    HIGH: Final Battle Jazz, Longarm, High Score100, Meantime, Titanium Ultra Magnus, Movie Swindle, a Super Key for my DS, Absolute Crisis, Diecast MechaGodzilla.

    LOWS: nothing much.

    Neither High nor Low: Ultimate Bumblebee, he is ok but not for the price.

    As an aside note, I found the Walmart that time forgot, they had 20 Primus figures , 9 20th Optimus figs both at full price, 2 Classics Jetfires and 8 OPs/Megs 2 packs. But no Classics Devs. Here is a pic of the TF pegs, packed to the brim with first wave deluxes, and that Bumblebee is the 74 version, not the 08:

    That pic was taken on the 26th if you can believe that.

    Yeah, you guys gotta check your Walmarts now; they're doing a huge restock. That's how I got these suckers:

    [​IMG]

    Soundblaster, I'm pretty sure I can get you both by the end of the week. While I've only seen one Dropkick (the one pictured above), I've seen Longarm more than once, and I'm pretty sure I'll see Dropkick and Longarm once I step into one of the other four Walmarts in the area.

    It's roughly 10 inches wide. Might fit a cat if it was hollow.

    Bandai, Bullmark or Popy?
    If Bandai, was it the 74, 75, 03 or 04 version?

    I really need to get the bandai 1975 version sometime, it looks amazing. Then I just need a Bandai Titanosaurus and Megaro-Goji and I'm good to go.

    High: Slugslinger arrived today. Nowhere mint, scruff marks here and there and some discoloration, a sliding thing at neck broken off but of 0 importance. But to $15 I can't complain. And the targetmasters hinges aren't broken :D  just some minor stressmarks.

    My bad, Yeah the one I got was a Bandai Diecast 75 Mecha Godzilla. Not a huge Godzilla fan but always liked MechaGodzilla. Now to search for a Mecha Ghidorha with diecast, if it even exisits.

    Thus far, it doesn't. You can include that in your next Lows. :p 

    But there might be a Bandai DX.

    Three different lots here in the one shot. Mad props to macabremouse for hooking me up with the Magmatron, BM Megatron and 6Ti Scourge.

    Lows:

    Passed on Payload today due to lack of funds (and he was pretty cheap too).
