But get there quick, the place was getting looted when I was there last. Granted, I was one of the looters. :wink:

Never mind, I just found the old thread from last year. So, if Samco and Miko are related, is it safe to assume that Miko in Richmond Hill will have them? I ask because i have to go to richmond Hill on Wed for some lexmark traning. I just map quested it and it's 3 freaking minutes away.
So, anyone know if this place also has the deals?

I could really really use a couple ice sabers if they anyone can hook me up. I don't think I need any VvV packs, except the Torch/bazooka pack and the python viper/tele viper pack
Can someone post a comprehensive list of what they have

I was dreading this stupid training I have to do tomorrow but now I'm starting to look forward to it. Good timing bird boy! Now I hope they don't close at 5:00 weekdays.

Edit: a note to all you looters... you'd better save something for Jon.

Dave, they close early on Wen: 10:00 to 4:00. You should go at lunch.
Zoinks. I have no idea how long a lunch break they are going to give me. Guess I'm going to have to rush. That kinda sucks 'cause it's always nice to just stand there and see new Joes on the shelves.

As for the comic packs, I hope to get some more Cobra soldiers at that price.

Thanks for the heads up on the parking. I'll be the guy raming the other cars in the little green hyundai. :evil:

Looks like Pete might have some antibuilders for me next meet. ;-)

I was very short on time and that place has some huge lines that move super slow. That place would be cool to waste a few hours in but it's so busy I'm in no rush to go back. I was looking forward to the Ice Sabre and Quick Strike for $10.00 each, but I still managed to waste $142.00 on my credit card.

That's exactly what was at Samco. There was exactly 0 star wars, and some overpriced transformers. It was an absolute madhouse when I was there, but I did go on the first day.
the QS/IS boxes were in the clearence center, and the woman said that they didn't have many, so weren't putting them out with the rest of the army toys. Wish I knew you wanted them, as I just opened my QS and traded the IS.
The BTR was all the small sets including the "rare" :roll: Sand thingie with Firefly. The prices were $3.50 for firefly, $2 for the rest.
There are some good deals there, but not as good as last year. It was fun, but I did end up overbuying. :?
Now I've got to figure out what to do with all those general flagg bodies. ;-)

Morgardee - do you have a cell phone? If so, PM the # to me and I'll call you from the store if I find a Quickstrike or an Ice Sabre.

I wonder if Miko had the IS and QS then and I missed it.
Didn't see them as well. Heck, I don't want the ones I already have.

plus one Grunt pack because someone gave me the idea of putting Grunt's head on a classic style body (couch *raptor* couch).
looks way better like that, but I used an extra Zap to give him original arms and waist. The only thing that you have to watch is that the arms aren't all compatable, and that you can only take them apart about twice before the soft plastic strips in the screw holes.
I really like the look of grunt's head on that body, even if it does seem a little thin for his torso.
And why Couch? Not Cough?

To be far, I didn't expect Samko/Miko to have a huge assortment of GI JOEs this year. I actually like army builders this time around and I am considering getting a small Electric EEL army.
I have an extra, I'll keep it for you.

Did anyone happen to notice how much the HIss 4 was? I picked up a couple last year, and might pick up a couple more if the price is right.

With all the complaining you did today about 'lack of room', you better just trade off that Lumat figure to be so you can make room for your new Hiss Tanks.

I figured am going to use the extra comic packaging to put the new DTC comic packs (as they have black packaging). Might as well as the previous comic packs were in green.

I'd had that thought too, but I'm also going to be doing some custom comic packs up. Heck, if you guys save me your backings, maybe I can do the whole run up. ;-)
