    Yeah, those were the two I was referring to. I didn't want to start hitting DG stores if they weren't showing up in the US yet.

    I hit a Dollar General store on Friday and they had no MC stuff at all. :(  They did have all the Xmas stuff out though.

    All of my DG have moved the MC stuff to the top shelf. So kids can't even see it. Nothing new yet either.

    My Ross has a ton of that set for even less. My willpower was strong enough to only buy one.
    Also have a lot of current single packs.

    I bought all the mongoose sets I found when they were $3.99 at Ross. But I never found more than on at each store. Now, I am finding theee or four per store but at $9.99.

    As for the single cards, I am still buying up Brutes and the red/grey MK VIIs. I like the recons too but they seem to be hanging around everywhere.

    I have the assortment ordered through BBTS. It's the next Infinite blind bags and, I guess, the helmets I have to look out for now.

    Edit, and the ghost.

    Want to get that Claptrap since my dumbass passed on the last one.

    Also almost got the Dutch set today, mainly for the skulls and Dutch to use with my Halo stuff.

    While I am glad to see the hot wheels sets come back, they seem to be stretching with this one idea:

    Spotted the Predator and Thermo-Dutch two pack at Walmart the other day. Looking for the single Pred.

    Ok, I admire the reuse but they couldn’t even play it off a little by making the box art look more the part? That’s about the same as an action figure with advertising that says “turn box into flight stand” with a picture of the figure on top of the box.

    Or, "use box as a base!"

    As stupidly simple as it is, that "castle" art with the cut-out doors actually looks 3D-ish to me haha. Like, the recessed left building really does look recessed. Maybe lack of sleep is finally getting to me. That is also a possibility.

    I popped in another local Dollar General and found a 10th red Stinger, AC Kat, and Flame Marine.

    My Stinger was missing a head! Is there anyway I could get MCX to send me a replacement?

    Likely. They will probably send you either a full figure or an equal value substitute.

    I found the head sans post. It had fell out of the bag without me posting. But thank you regardless. I’ve heard good things about their customer service.


    My Marine Platoon pack was supposed to be delivery today. It’s even at the local PO, but for whatever reason wasn’t. When it gets in, I have more picks to take of my Battlescape.
