Darn. Any word on locations yet?

Not yet.

For what its worth the "up to 200" closures will be global and they've apparently got 5700 stores so the losses should be quite spread out. Now Gamestop has been in financial trouble so this could still be part of the dominoes falling on their way to mass closure.

Well if they're anything like the ones here then there's like 3 within walking distance of each other.

Walked into a Gamestop yesterday with a sign up looking for a manager. Wonder how hard it'll be to fill that position with this news out there.

Hey, did your order status change? Mine still says "in progress" and those dirtbags can't answer a single email, apparently.

My order says "in progress". No response to emails and calls to customer service might as well been a random dial. Didn't have a clue why my order was cancelled. Don't care anymore. If I get the sets, yay. If not, yay. Managed to see a set in person. They look ok, but I'm not sure they are honestly $50. I think the value is closer to $36 a set, honestly.

Ha! I beat them to it! I saw the figures at GameStop. They didn’t look worth $30, let alone $50. Cancelled the full set order.

No will power. I am ashamed... Walking the local mall, and in the window of the store I saw all 5 sets at once... and... yup. They are mine, now. Still don't think the sets are worth $50 a piece, but there are some highlights. Hopefully I get around to doing a bunch of reviews this weekend. I'm backlogged due to family and pet illnesses.
