    Thinking you're on the money. But true; people will buy what they want to buy.

    And speaking of AoE, we finally got our stock out today. Target at 43rd and Peoria, peeps :) .

    Consider that bad boy preordered (as soon as it goes live, of course). Cracks me up how the EVA fans in that thread are up in arms over how "unrealistic such a crossover would be." It's a toy. Not a new TV series. So calm the frak down. :lol

    I thought that Skyhammer figure was interesting looking when he first shipped as part of another movie line, but never bought one because he didn't have an in movie appearance. That said the weird 'kit-bash' nature of reusing the Skyhammer mold, but slapping a Deluxe Drift head on it just does not work for me. Pass-o-tron...

    Yeah, missing the point. I'm a die-hard Eva fan (I'm to that series what Ultra Magnus is to the Autobot codex), but even I can separate a fun crossover from a serious one.

    If you don't own Skyhammer, you're really missing out. Fantastic figure. His MechTech weapon sucks, as they pretty much all do, but otherwise he's great.

    To each their own :thumb  I think this is one of the ugliest transformers I've ever seen :lol  I think I'd much rather have seen it done in Toxitron colors, but I'm not sure I'd even want that, lol.

    And that, sir, is why you get so many cool points. ;)  The 245 price tag isn't so bad, either. Thinking Nippon-Yasan will have him for a bit cheaper...come on, June! (More specifically June 12)

    I'm of a similar bent ---^ I'd prefer to see a Toxitron version, but even if the $$$ were burning a hole in my pocket I'm still not sure that I'd pull the trigger.

    BTW, The Chosen Prime just got in Hasbro Wave 2 of the Legends figures (Shrapnel and Tailgate), so get 'em while the getting is good!!

    In case you are not watching the sightings thread, I've started an MP Grimlock list. If you want to be on the list, please PM me, otherwise I might miss you if you just post it in the thread. I'll probably also have an MP Sunstorm list soon too.

    MP Sunstorm list:
    kell
    Dr. Prime
    SevenWillFall
    dominusveritus

    Rules for the list (for future, hard to find figures):
    1. Make sure you have the dough (i.e. - money, and don't forget sales tax) to give to the fellow board member who gets one for you Cash or paypal works well for most. (Don't get on the list, have a board member get you the toy, and then ask them if they will trade. They are doing a favor for you so have the money ready :) )
    2. If there are names still on the list and you see the figure on the shelves, BUY IT!!! and help a board member out. We'll figure out a way to get it to whomever is in need. I am willing to ship to you guys down in Tucson too.
    3. If you get one on your own without the help of a board member, or from someone on the board other than me, please let me know ASAP so I can take your name off the list. This will prevent someone from buying too many
    4. Please don't abuse this resource. If we discover that you are getting help from other board members just to turn it around and make some cash on ebay or somewhere else, you will be permanently be placed on the "Not Cool" list. FYI, that's not a very good list! (and it exists!)
    5. The list will be maintained and updated HERE so don't panic if you don't see your name on or erased from this particular post.
    6. The rules are edited and changed as I see fit. I think they are pretty fair, so if you don't like them, then too bad I guess

    "The List" has had a perfect record so far for all those who have had available funds :thumb

    Good system you have going there, Dan :thumb . Really wish I could afford him at that price, but my funds from here on out are for PCC. Hoping the other board members can get one of their own, though :) .

    Anybody seeing Days of Future Past? May just hit it up this weekend or something. Seeing as I completely forgot about its release until today...

    C'mon Owen, and I thought you were a true blue collector. Don't they have mobile vans now that will draw blood for cash donation with just a phone call? They'll even come to your job! :lol  (kidding)

    TRU Grimlock is supposed to be 65 bucks. if this is true, please put me on the list. :) 

    I've never given the toy a real chance, I'd live to try my hand at getting one (with all of your help of course) :D 

    At that price, it would be foolish to skip out on it.

    I can surely afford it. :)

    Hey guys, I just wanted to see if there is any interest in ordering Pizza for the next meet up? If so, I will order it up and everyone can just pitch in a few bucks when you arrive. Who's Hungry?

    Who delivers to BFE? :lol  And yeah I'd be up for that, Barro's is best but if we can't then I'd suggest Domino's.
