Chicagoland Sightings!

[Mr. Shokoti]

I guess those rumors of another Naked Gun movie won't come to fruition now.

OJ is in prison, right? I remember Leslie not exactly coming to the defense of his former co-star on several occasions.

[leonardo]

NOOOOOO, the world is a much colder and unfunny place. RIP Leslie.

Man - can't believe how fast those $25 Back to the Future Blu-Ray sets went on Amazon! Glad I got my order in at zero hour, cuz they were gone in under 2 minutes!

Yeah, I saw that! I've been checking out the Amazon lightening deals throughout the day. If I didn't already have it, I would have definitely gotten that set at that price.

I did end up order Stargate for $8.49 (not my favorite movie, but it was pretty good, and I don't own in on any previous edition/format).

[Son of Keldor]

sucks about him dying but he was up there in age.

thanks to Big B for hooking me up w/ a bunch of figs and meeting me this weekend to square things up.

no luck on finding any of the new 2 packs or much of anything else for that matter.

=)

Did anyone brave Matty today? Curious to know how quickly things went, and how bad the WSOD was....

[leonardo]

I was in class so I missed out on battlecat completely, d'oh. I did get Winston, to complete my four ghostbusters, hours laters and no wsod or anything. Seems like most of it is still available.

I was on there right when the sale started, and I ordered the "Color of Fear"
DCUC 2-pack. It was probably about a 20 to 30 minute ordeal of getting through the WSOD to fully get the order placed. Luckily the item was still in stock, so it wasn't a big problem.

At least the submitting of the final order went smoothly. That's where I've had problems in the past when my orders became duplicated and I had to call up customer service to cancel one, because the site just hangs there and I'm not sure if it went through or not. But this time it went straight to the order confirmation screen.

[Shankor]

I gave it a shot for like 5 minutes and then decided I had better things to do than waste time buying toys. Only wanted the Color of Fear pack, but if I want it bad enough I'll hit up eBay. On a side note, I'm trying to convince my cousin to hook me up with some of those newer 2 packs that he scored on. Otherwise I have scam I'm planning on running at the Fox Valley Toys R Us

Well, looks like there is something up with my Gallbladder afterall. Last Monday (before Thanksgiving), I had this thing called a HIDA Scan done. They called this morning and said that the Gallbladder function is showing as abnormal. So now I have an appointment to meet with a surgeon about whether or not I should have it removed.

I just hope that if we have this removed, it will resolve the pain symptoms that I have been having. Some of them line up with being the Gallbladder, but some of them apparently don't.

[Red Trinity]

=( That sucks, Brandon. But I hope that is what's causing the problem and resolves the issue quickly. Good luck!

[Mr. Shokoti]

I hope everything goes well with you gall bladder. It would suck to have to have surgery but that would be better in the long run if you actually find out why you're having pain and it finally goes away.

In case you haven't seen the email from Matty, apparently they'll be selling a movie-authentic PKE meter tomorrow on Matty Collector. It's $60, and it looks like the wings open and it'll have LED lights. I'm tempted, but I probably won't pick it up - Ghostbusters was never really my big thing (although it does look pretty cool).

And good luck, Brandon - hopefully they'll figure it out so you can get rid of that pain.

[Son of Keldor]

i got an extra battle cat & he-man for customs, took about 10 mins tops.

i got a chance to play w/ the PKE meter @ sdcc and it was pretty cool, but i won't be getting, even though its prolly a good investment since they aren't shipping it to many countries in europe b/c of the electronics.

=)

[ChgoMarc]

Big B. Don't mess around with that stuff. It could be something bigger. I'm not one that should be preaching because I beat the snot out if my body everyday, but take care of that.

Little B. Sorry I couldn't stick around very long the other night. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I worked 13, 12.5, and 15 hours. I was still wiped out and had a wedding to go to the next day. I think I'm starting to slow down.

Christmas came early, fellas!!!!!!!! Apparently a real nude of Miley Cyrus has leaked today! Egotastic has it up on their website but they've got the good parts covered... If anyone finds an uncensored version that would be the best birthday present ever!!!

How much do you want to bet that the boney little hillbilly had that picture taken by her daddy? Come on Mattingly! Her gums are bigger than her breasts. You need to find a new celebrity obsession. How about another Disney star?



Hey, she looks like a younger Amanda Waller.

[Dynamo of Eternia]

As of right now (the time I am posting this), ToysRUs.com has the 2 new DC/MOTU 2-packs in stock. Both of these qualify for free shipping for orders over $49, so if you buy both, you'll pretty much be paying the same price that you would in stores:

http://www.toysrus.com/search/index....S/2254197&sr=1

I just ordered 1 of each for myself.



EDIT: Looks like the Mer-Man 2 pack is sold out now.

EDIT again: I guess the Stratos set is also now sold out. That didn't last very long

[Son of Keldor]

of course when you post stuff like that in our thread knowing how much traffic we get outside of us, it was only a matter of time before they were sold out!

thanks Big B!!!

i'm hoping to find these at retail as the thrill of the hunt still gives me a rush.

=)

[ChgoMarc]

Hate the hunt. I lost the thrill for it years ago.

[Son of Keldor]

marvel legends kinda killed it for me after motu went south, then all the star wars and dcu figs kicked it up again.

=)

Well, I was just relaying information originally posted in the main MOTUC forum, which gets way more traffic overall. So, whether I posted it here or not, it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

[Son of Keldor]

yeah i hear ya, on that note, did anyone see the new release of the next set of 200X boxed episodes w/ skeletor & evil lyn on the cover for $5 @ target.

i picked it up on black friday while searching for cheap blurays.

=)

[D-Day V1]

Happy birthday Mattingly.

Are we doing a Christmas meeting?

[ChgoMarc]

I'm not in too much of a hurry to find the new 2 packs. That triple hit of Grizzlor, The King, and the Weapons Pack put a big dent in the wallet. Plus I found some of the new ML 2 packs last month.

God bless any of you that can keep up with the hobby. If I still collected Star Wars, Marvel Select, Minimates, and DC Classics I'd be in huge debt.
