His name is Zachary Michael. He was born two days ago. I'm working on a Mighty Morphin' Black Ranger outfit for him.

Why did you take him out of his packaging? The upkeep on that is gonna be huge!

He's not mint in box anymore, he's worth so much less now.

Congrats though

That city is soo small, I fell sorry for the people who are only able to shop at a one store town like L.A.. They more than likely will NEVER see another shipment EVER again!!
Thank you for ruining Christmas Mr. Grinch!

I don't know what conceptions you might have about LA, but I actually had more places to find toys nearby when I was living in NJ. LA is very big and spread out and I've already addressed the gas prices here. Oh and then there's the traffic on top of that, wasting even more of your gas. People who make the effort to find something should have a fair chance and not be throwing their money away on fuel only to have to do it over and over again because certain individuals are hording them. It's inconsiderate plain and simple. When I find something people might want I come on here and report the store so that those nearby can swing by and pick it up. I actually try to HELP those around me.

All he did was buy PR toys, my god man. He didn't go out and drive over puppies.

And he did state he is selling them to others and not jacking the price up.
Looks like he is helping RB members there. Are you suggesting we drop the help a RB member thread too, I mean someone in another state is buying things for a RB member, don't want to take away from THEIR community now do we?

As far as knowing LA, I grew up in LA/Orange counties. My Conceptions are fine, as is my phone. Which I use to call stores to see if they have something that is quite a distance away. If they say they dont have it (and your 90% of people lie bit makes me laugh, would love to see your sources on that) then I don't bother to waste my time or gas driving out there. It's not like those were that last megazords Bandai will ever make, they JUST hit the market, are you suggesting that they will become rare and impossible to get this holiday season? Tell that to the Wallmarts and Targets that still have Mystic force stuff.....

Whats a fair number to buy then? A lot of people buy 2 of everything, maybe they should only buy 1 from now on, that way we are sure somebody else gets their fair shake at getting one.

He might have, you don't know.

Somebody once told me that they took the electronics out of a bootleg falcon and put them in a legit BoA falcon.

It seems like a worthy project, cheaper than buying a Tsubasamaru anyway.

Negative, no electronics. What I guess you can do is put those nifty gold wings on a Tsuba and then fire away...I don't intend to do it, though.

That's where you are wrong, though. He currently has the 4 he said he was selling on eBay for a starting bid of $59.99 and a Buy it Now of $69.99.

I really don't care what he does. It's his business. I can see both ends of the spectrum, though. I just wanted to point out that he's NOT helping anyone out here.

Isn't he selling those for 70 dollars on eBay? Wheel150050 or something like that? That's not helping the community,that's ripping people off. Not as bas as shindecadenger, but still.

and Tommy, in the interest of full disclosure and looking at both sides of the debate, have you considered how people in the LA area might feel who are looking for a Grinder since you have quite a few bought at retail price? My apologies if they were bought from members here, but doesn't the same principle apply?

Sorry, this is what I saw. Followed by someone sending him a payment.
I didn't see anything about EBAY on any post. That to me sounded like helping a fellow RB'er.

My true point was someone flipping out because someone bought , in their eyes, too much.

A very nice piece indeed! Every collector of MMPR should have one of these, I got mine still in a perfect box with the stickers still on the sheet (not sure how must have been a little bit of luck! lol) Anyways congratz!

Congratulations.

As for my haul for the day, I got Wolverine and the X-Men, Vol. 3 - Beginning of the End.

[Dyl]

I finally got a round to taking the white and black communicators to my friend to fix them.

They look so much more better now that they all are the same size. She is in love with them my friend who fixed them that she continuously asks me why I don't wear them to work haha.

In the words of Chandler bing from friends "Could he BE Any more cuter?"

@ flip dude: mini tacos for the win!

Well, today I had no classes so I immediately hit the streets and searched for Ranger Silver. I tried my usual spots, and then headed towards the Wal-Mart because another Long Beach native here mentioned they had a Paleomax Megazord so I figured they might have assortment of figures I don't have. I didn't end up going there because there was a Ross across the parking lot. Went in and found my elusive target:



Yup, Ross had 3 Ranger Silvers in there, all of which had some compromised packaging, but I don't display my stuff in boxes so its no big deal to me. For the other guy in the LB area, it was the same Ross on Carson St next to the Wal-Mart. They also had a Full Throttle Yellow, Blue, Black, Green and Gold, but you might have to do some digging. It was hidden among a number of guardian figures and Mystic Force repackagings.

Here's the rest of my haul from this month:




I'd also like to point out that while store hopping, I did not use a single cent on gas due to the fact that I don't have my own car yet. I took buses and walked to places, which took a while but finally paid off when I found these beauty for 2 bucks cheaper than what the other stores had them listed as. Kinda wish I did the same for Ranger Black since he's the only one I didn't buy from Ross and ended up paying like 8 bucks for him.
