Just when I had given up on ever getting the Hellboy figures other than through trading/eBay... a miracle! I have been stopping in my local Media Play (the ONLY place to have them) 2 or 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks.... NEVER any Hellboy toys! They've gotten a couple of shipments, but they sell out in a matter of hours. [img]mad.gif[/img]

So, I stopped in today totally on a whim (didn't actually expect there to be figures) and wandered over to the toy section. What do I see...... 1 lonely little Abe Sapien sitting on a peg. !*%#& I'm thinking I really must have just missed them this time! [img]mad.gif[/img]

As I started to walk away I hear this voice call out, "Hey wait, don't go. Come over here!" Well, every time I've been going in there I'd ask the manager questions about when they came in, when are more coming, etc. Guess I made an impression because when I walked over to the kiosk he smiled and said, "Look what I put aside for you!" HOLY SHIT! [img]eek.gif[/img]

Sweet!

Sometimes you can get a manager at the Musicland chains that makes the places all worth while.

The Manager and Asst Manager at SunCoast are that way for me. They keep tabs on what I want and set them aside when they get in.

Well, screw that dude! He used to be a really good guy to deal with, but lately I can't get any useful info out of him.
The amount of money we've spent in that place, he should be licking my balls, and enjoying it!!! [img]graemlins/grrr.gif[/img] ...... [img]redface.gif[/img] Sorry! Had to vent!

Anyways, I guess it's just a matter of waiting to see if I ever stumble accross them [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

I'm gonna drive Pappette to work tomorrow, so I can tour the toy shops!

I'M TRYING!!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img] We want one too!!!

Hey Pappy, um, if you were to get a Trenchcoat Hellboy would you prefer angry face or non-angry?

Just wondering. http://www.hostboard.com/forums/

Glad you got them finally. I'm only missing Sammael - which I saw the first day I went looking, AND DIDNT GET IT! Got the rest that day though. My lesson: see them, buy them. Simple.

The place I got 'em was selling them for $9.99 each, but I got some kinda discount with their "frequent buyer" card.... think it was 15%.
