[Boy Blunder]

Most successful week in a while, thanks to TRU's sale, my wife's eagle eyes, and befriending yet another store manager.

So, first off, on Sunday, after I pawed through the stack of Civil War three-packs at a TRU, my wife found a lone Vision/FalCap/Kate Bishop set among them where I missed it, so we snatched that up very nicely at the sale prices.

Then, we hit our usual TRU, and chatted a bit with one of the managers who we're on good terms with, and he told us to come back on Monday night, since he'd be closing that night and would know the manifests of what's coming in on the trucks for Tuesday stock.

Monday, his initial scan of the manifests come up dry, but as we're getting into our car, he runs out to let us know that what we're aiming to get is coming in on the truck.

This morning, we go to TRU, and for less that the pre-order that still hadn't been filled would cost, this happens:



(Yes, that's my derpy mug).

So for less than the EE preorder that was still sitting in queue, we walked out with the entire X-Wave. HELL TO THE YES. I'm still buzzing.

Rogue and Phoenix have some eye/face paint issues, but unless we find others in the wild, I am so goddamn satisfied. Twelve figures (thirteen if you count Onslaught), and it's only Tuesday!

They did go to Australia. After they were resurrected by Roma following the battle with the Adversary at the end of 'Fall of the Mutants', they hung out in the Outback (since the world thought they were dead and they wanted to keep it that way for the time being, to protect their loved ones or somesuch), and lived in the Reavers' old base. That's when we got introduced to characters like Gateway and Jubilee.
