I noticed he was setting up a new plano near the toy aisle so I asked him if he'd already set up the toy plano, and if they'd possibly received the joe case. His reply was that they received, but he already bought them all... and then he told me that he planned on buying all of the troopers that came in. Just thought I'd vent. It beats screaming and being removed from my office in a tight white jacket. __________________ My little corner of the internet My want list My Pictures

The only other one that has stocked them in town so far is right by where fellow board member Lt. Pinpoint lives, so he gets first dibs, lol. Lucky for me he's OCD and doesn't like empty holsters, so he got the trooper for me. I guess it's just a patience game at this point, they're still pretty new.

He was kind of a jerk about it, so I left it alone, but I'll head back sometime this week and maybe try to make nice.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".
