Hehehe! Yeah no doubt. Not sure about the world peace happening but I will agree on all the others. Was a great weekend all in all. To top it off I was also able to test drive a Tesla Model S electric car. Holy $#it! that is one fast car. I stomped on the accelerator pedal and it was like a jet plane launching. If I ever have the money, that will be my next car.

^Nice, that sounds awesome! I can only dream of driving nice cars... still no license.

When I re-watched the same movie years later I couldn't belive how much it sucked...in Portland I was sure it was the year's best comedy!

I really need to go back to Portland. Everything about it was just awesome. We stayed at a pretty expensive hotel but everything else was DIRT CHEAP. And the massive bookstore with the pizza joint right across the street, those crazy donuts, not to mention the BLOCK of food trucks. Damn. I need to go back.

Tesla VS Fisker. Naming your car Karma wasn't really the best decision.

Also, curse you, US, for getting all the good stuff.

Maaaaan. I was just there like a week ago and they had none of that. Oh well, I have them all coming in my Pile O' Loot.

Bowmac CS told me outright they aren't expecting any more shipment after the 4 they received. You got to be shitty me!

Coq CS was more helpful. She checked the system and no more left in BC except in Ont. None are currently in transit.

This can't be it? Dear %$#@ Hasbro, quit screwing us collectors and aiding the scalpers!

That's Hasbro/TRU for you.

I was at Bowmac too. The only thing I saw was Panda. The same CSR girl told me the same thing about not expecting to receive any more Soundwave. Either she is sick of people asking and looking it up, or she just wanted to buzz off. I REALLY REALLY hope TRU's preorder is going to be fulfilled.

I confirm I saw Darth

I am so angered by this! Why would TRU bother to stock a half dozen of an item per store and that's it?!?!?!?!!?? I am positive there is absolutely no other item they carry that's offered in such a stupidly small amount per store.

1. They are losing a huge amount of revenue by not providing enough supply to sell, where is the business sense in this?!?!?!?

2. They are making a lot of customers very very very very angry and hurting their own reputation as a toy store, aren't they?
