First look at production Metroplex, who needs stickers
Re: First look at production Metroplex, who needs stickers
We all know that Costco has these things for $80 now right? My Mom called me Sunday morning stating that she found it so it looks like it's going to be a good X-Mas.

Re: First look at production Metroplex, who needs stickers
I was actually going to post here about that. Do you guys think 'Plex is worth $80? I'm tempted to go pick one up for myself.Shockwave wrote:We all know that Costco has these things for $80 now right?

What are the odds of them repainting 'Plex as like Metrotitan somewhere down the road?

I certainly think he's worth $80 compared to the $110 that other stores are charging. As for a Metrotitan repaint, I think it'll depend on how well Plex sells, but yeah, I could totally see them doing that.Almighty Unicron wrote:I was actually going to post here about that.

The problem is actually having a Costco card, which, if I'm not wrong, is another $40 or so on top of it. If you already have one, great. If not...eh.
Re: First look at production Metroplex, who needs stickers
I definately wouldn't recommend getting a Costco card just for that, but I and my parents already have them and the gas savings alone are worth it (seriously, Costco gas is like 25-40 cents cheaper than everywhere else).

Sometimes stores like this offer a one day/week free pass.Onslaught Six wrote:The problem is actually having a Costco card, which, if I'm not wrong, is another $40 or so on top of it. If you already have one, great. If not...eh.
Their is always the option of stepping into Cosco,Getting the Metroplex toy. then asking a cosco customer who has a cosco card to,please do me a favor,"i'll give you the $80+tax to buy this toy & maybe a few bucks more for your trouble,if you can please buy this toy for me using your Cosco card.
I went to the Cosco site & I did a store locator search,Their is no Cosco stores in my state/area. The nearest Cosco is 50+ miles away. it is simply not worth traveling 100+ miles round trip with gasoline being over $3.40 per gallon looking for a toy,I can easily buy on the internet & get free shipping. I already bought a Titan sized Metroplex toy mmonths ago for around $109 & I qualified for free shipping.

I already have one. It comes in quite handy when you're living in a dorm. I've been living off a barrel of pretzels I bought during my freshman year.Onslaught Six wrote:The problem is actually having a Costco card, which, if I'm not wrong, is another $40 or so on top of it.

Toys R Us .com had Titian metroplex on sale for $103.99 with free shipping. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... search&cp= This is perhaps the best deal on the figure I've seen on-line thus far.

Careful you don't get scurvy, I've heard of that happening to college students living off Kraft Macaroni & Cheese like that.Almighty Unicron wrote:I already have one.

Anyway, how many months later is it and I still haven't gotten all those damned stickers on? Too many goddamned stickers!
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

Re: First look at production Metroplex, who needs stickers
Ugh. Reminds me of my roommate I lived with when I was interning for Blizzard out in California. I skyped with a few other interns before thinking she'd be the best person to room with (we're both very private people and never really bothered eachother), and she looked normal. Upon meeting her IRL she was the palest woman I've ever met with I swear to fucking god, gray flesh. Not gray skin, but gray flesh, and she was maybe 100 pounds if wet and cold to the touch. Blizzard paid us well- well enough that I could cook myself fresh dinner every night and I even offered to cook for her if she split the food budget. But instead she just bought an economy pack of kraft and an economy pack of maruchan and that's all she ate the entire summer. I am amazed that woman's still alive.JediTricks wrote:Careful you don't get scurvy, I've heard of that happening to college students living off Kraft Macaroni & Cheese like that.Almighty Unicron wrote:I already have one.
