Why 48?

They're like $1.00 at Sobeys in Ancaster.....I was laughing my ass off at them.

I've actually been trying to track these down but it seems that they haven't shown up in Edmonton yet. From the perspective of a vintage Star Wars bootleg collector, i find these fairly interesting. By the looks of the articulation they appear to be direct bootlegs from the Funskool Pepsodent figures...i think that as more and more people get interested in the Joe line, it's only natural to assume that interest in items such as this will increase as well.

Hey Shane,
I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow.
Do you want me to pick you up some?
Cost + shipping.

Yeah, my wife came back from Giant Tiger last night with the undertow in hand for 99 cents. I didn't know they were showing up everywhere or else I wouldn't have tried to buy 2 sets. 1 for me and I thought I'd get as much of a second set for anyone at the meet today.
Figures are kinda crappy, but some of the weapons are O.K. Like Undertow, the one I had from the BJ's set now matches the other 2 I have and it beats buying cast off parts  for $1.00 a piece  :D

Mike,
Do you think you could pick me up a few undertows? To return the favor, I could try and help you out with some accessories you are in need of, but I'll have to check and see what I've got.

I know spillsleen has got 'em, but I'm not interested in the whole set and only need a few undertows. Or if anyone else can help me out, hopefully we can work out a deal.

Maybe this should go under the trade/wants section?
