Yeah, I was too, but it turns out that my local Toys R Us still had about 4 or 5 left a couple weeks ago, and I happened to get a $20 off coupon, so I got that instead of the Ghost Train that I was planning on getting....

I could check to see if they have any left and possibly come to some kind of arrangement if you'd like.

Oh, and there is also a Barnes and Noble in Mechanicsburg that still had one or two Jet Copter encounters a while back... I might see about checking them out sometime soon and getting that set if they still have it (last time I was there, I opted to get the Pharaoh's Quest Flying Mummy Attack set instead).

I'll keep that in mind. I'll see if I can hunt one down in the Cinci area first though. There are so many places in the area that sell LEGO I may get lucky. Before the coupon was it MSRP or typical ToysRUs inflated prices or (dare I dream) discounted?

Typical Toys Я Us inflated prices, but I still saved about $10 on the MSRP, so it was totally worth it....

2 places in an hour radius from my home sell Lego. One place is the local toy store that jacks everything's price way up, like $8 for a collectable minifig way up, and the other place is the Voldymart down in Gunny.

I still live.

I have my license back. I have a girlfriend. My car insurance premium went down for renewal.

Awesome Omi!!

I've been doing a bit of building the past few days. I am using 4 32 x 32 plates to make a medieval/fantasy wooded area for my forest men type guys. I'm using my alt Bricks leaves, and the old pirate cave I had a few months back, but altered. It might be a while before I get it finished because I keep finding things I want to change.

I managed to screw myself out of a paycheck for a month. I now have to wait until the middle of Nov for my Sept check. I'll be getting 2 checks though Good thing my wife is great with our money and saved enough for my stupid mistake.

Looks like life is going pretty good for you Omi. Glad to hear it!

Congrats, Omi! Glad to see ya on.

@Hikaro: You did indeed. I only wish I had read it sooner!

Also, when I said I used to live in West Virginia, I meant it. You Idahoans complain about your town as hicksville, but I think my old town would make yours seem like NYC.

Yes. THAT town is where I lived for 7 years. It was like some kind of 70's time capsule with the population of a Skyrim village. Terrible place.

Napoleon: sounds kinda like the town I went to High School in....

Omicron, glad to hear things or going better for you, and nice to see you around here.

BTW, here's a pic of my wife and I in our Halloween costumes (we went to the Ren Fair's Halloween thing last weekend):

...And I've ALMOST got my modded Earth Defense HQ done... Just need to add more gunz and stuff to the command center section. Incidentally, I ended up using up all my ADU minifigs, which includes my 3 series 7 Galaxy Patrol figs and two Kre-O Battleship aliens.

First thing I thought of:



Lol. Seriously, every pic of you looks really British.

Sounds like fun. We're about to have our Napoleonic reenactment here in November.
