The walmart stuff hasn't inspired me to purchase.  Duke would be purchased and never opened.

New render releases - Wild Bill look basically the same,  I was hoping for something a little more different.  Grunt finally look good.  Didn't know we needed another Techno Viper, you can still get the mainline release on Amazon for under $30.
And finally Destro with his Despoiler.

EBGames in Milton had Destro and Despoiler  $149.99. Was shocked to see they had it so early.

So I pre-ordered the SNAKE armour and the marauder 2 pack from Amazon.   I have never had luck with amazon,  they can take the pre-order but when the delivery date rolls around, Amazon cancels my order, and of course by that point any hope of getting them from Pulse or any other source has dried up.  I still haven't forgiven them for #14 Arctic Storm Shadow.

Instead of Amazon (99$), you may give it a try with this Canadian strore (for 94$):

I never had problems with them. And you can put your order on hold to qualify for free shipping.

So I finally have checked in after being away for a little while.   Thanks for keeping the lights on Pete and everyone else who still keeps posting.


Filled in a few holes from the recent Pulse Power Days sale and the SDCC exclusives.

Managed to snag an AWE Striker and the Joe Defense Sentry Post thingie.   Then I got the Shiprwreck/Deming exclusive and the Fatal Fluffy.   

Overall I'm glad I waited on the AWE and Defense Post so I got them cheaper than their original price.   The SDCC stuff I would have liked to wait but I always let FOMO get the better of me for SDCC stuff.

I'm also glad EBGames is now partnered with Pulse for some of the Pulse exclusive stuff so I went in on the Triple T, HAL and VAMP MK2.  Then add in the Crimson SNAKE from Amazon and it is already going to be an expensive fall.
