The fact that Hasbro didn't skimp on the accessories really impressed me, especially since so many toy companies are cutting corners in regards to accessories these days. This figure is one of those occasions where Hasbro proves that when they want to actually do something well, they do it very, very well, lol !

That's one of the reasons I love my LD player. I have Laserdiscs that are AWESOME that will NEVER EVER be put on DVD/BRD.

I got the DC Direct Arkham City Nightwing in the mail today. I found him for a good price online, maybe a dollar or two above what I got Arkham City series 4 Batman for and not for some outrageously scalped price point:

RANT TO FOLLOW:

Unfortunately, the shipping box was once again damaged, this time appearing as if it had been submerged. The shipping box was wrapped in plastic with damage tags pasted on it stating it had been received damaged and to top it off, I witnessed the delivery person physically stuff the package into my mailbox as I was walking out the door to get my mail.

I’d already been having a crappy day today and didn’t need this aggravation on top of it. So, it goes without saying that cut it for me as I’ve now had 5 USPS packages in a row that have arrived damaged or somewhat opened with what appears to be a box-cutter as if someone was peeking in them to see what was in them. I took pictures to document the damage and then drove to the main post office in the city and requested a manager. I then presented the package to him upon his arrival and told him that I didn’t know what the hell was going on or why the USPS delivery people thought they could f*ck with my shit by opening it while it was in their custody, but it was not his or the god-damn postal service’s business what I order or what my packages have in them.

I was told the sender must have damaged the box because we don’t do things like that and I replied, “Oh really? Did the sender drive here from another state just for the fun of stuffing this package into my mailbox? Don’t treat me like I’m stupid. USPS personnel did the damage and this package is the damn proof of it.”

I then got the standard bureaucratic canned response of “I’ll talk to the driver and look into it”. I said, “Yeah, suuurrre you will. But just so you know, if I get one more package in the mail damaged or opened, the next conversation that I have with one of you dickheads will make this one look polite.” I then left.

We all need bigger mail boxes. My stuff gets brought to the door but once they folded a padded envelope to make it fit in the mail box even though it was labled "do not bend" . It was a vintage sticker sheet an luckily it was not damaged.

salsa4datass · 11-01-2013, 05:07 PM

no pics (like always) but got 2 out of the 3 series 10 predators. seems the scalpers are grabbing all the nightstorm preds. at least I was able to use the 20%off coupon and luckily I still had a receipt from 2 weeks ago from the mh scarah I bought and they took 20% off that as well so both came out to a little over $20...
tomstoychest: sucks that there are still people that can't read the words on packages or understand that a big package does not fit into a little box...

tgbobafett · 11-01-2013, 05:46 PM

Traded some stuff in at Hastings today and got all this! The floor mats are a lil' bit smaller than I would've liked them to be tho!

Serious Lee · 11-01-2013, 06:17 PM

I got this today at the annual con in Winnipeg, I was worried I might not find any available, but got it at a good price (IMO), this fig is a perfect size for an ML Spidey!

Brownfinger · 11-01-2013, 06:55 PM

So, I think my girlfriend cleaned out a substantial portion of my Amazon wish list for my birthday. Because guh.

I had already opened the Wheeljack vs. Knockout Kre-o set, but she wanted to snap a picture of it all. Joy!
