In a world full of some beyond questionable people, there are still some out there thay are generally nice folks. Fender Bender is one of them. After Target picked up the Autobot city two pack, making it an exclusive that made it nigh imposable for Canadians to get our hands on it. FB offered to ship it my way (cost on my part of course). So then I asked for yet another favour, I asked if I sent some extra coin, would he pick up Ramjet and Cliffjumper for me? "Why of course" he says!

So after a quick paypal money transfer the deal was cast. Not even two days after he had picked them up they were in my hands!

Thanks again FB, I'mma get you so drunk at botcon

(Thats the universal Thank You to/from Candians!)

Aw shucks, you're going to make me blush. :oops:

BTW, pics would be appreciated.

That's nice of you FB. Thunderscream did that for me as well. They're great figs

too bad they can't figure out how to make it so that a canadian analogue can also get the figures.

What I find really funny is that for the figures alone, to buy them from BBTS.com, it would be a total $78.00. Then you add on shipping and you guys up north really get screwed.

Compare that to less than $70.00 that Down_Shift paid for the figures AND shipping.

I paid nearly 40 for mine USD and that in canadian is much less than what one of the canadian on line stores was selling them for with shipping. Much less.

My damn Target is still sitting on the Prime/Tank Megs two pack, and I don't think they have the shelf space set aside for the Magnus/Skywarp set until they sell the other ones.

And I'm not buying 7 2-packs to get rid of them either :-x

One of the Targets down here moved the OPtimus Megs 2 packs aside to put out the Magnus Skywarp sets.. Unfortunately both 2 packs are now collecting dust.

Dude, check the end of the aisles. My Targets around here put them on an endcap rather than placing them with the rest of the Transformers.

You paid $19.99 for Skywarp, Magnus, Ramjet, and Cliffjumper? /:)

For those of you waiting for taget to put them out ask for them by the DPCI and they will go get them from the back I did this on the 4th since they said it would be out and it was not.

I told FB to pick me up a BotCon Megatron last year.

He didn't.

I don't like him.

I hate to tell you this Burn (Or perhaps not

), but in the process of getting my exclusives last year, they forgot to punch my card.

So I went back and got another one for Professor Smooth.

Had you been serious, I could have given the extra one to you. :oops:

I already heard that story. It's what started me on paying you out so much.

Truth be told, as much as i'd love a BotCon Megatron, and while I know you wouldn't scalp it like an E-Bay seller, i'd be better off putting the money towards a Fort Max. :-(

Yeah, I could possibly get Fort Max, with my $2000.00 tax return and all. :grin:

I'm sure there will be a little left over from Botcon.

I work for a tax agent. You don't want to know the sort of money I could get back if I wanted to bend a few rules. :wink:

Fender Bender's a nice guy. I hung out with him and Air Commander Starscream for a good portion of the last Botcon. Saw Ryan and Smooth everywhere I turned around too. All real nice guys.
