I believe they say a custom head used for Snake Eyes was too european.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Ah yes it was something to that effect.

 

[karamazov80]

It was that HT Krauser head

Got the conformation notice on my second order. Hope they have enough to fill the orders..

Still not for me. Just my first one. The second was only an hour later so I guess they could have sold out by then.

I went ahead and ordered one just for the hell of it. I'll suppose I'll see what happens.

Cobras can never look "too European" thats why they're the bad guys....

It was an old joke, someone said that on here one time. It was pretty funny.

It was me that originally said the krauser head on Snakes looked like a "dirty Euro" so I know the joke well.

But like I said, no arguments on the cobra's they were based on euros anyway...

What is Hastings exactly? Its it a big store like a wal-mart? I know from their site they don't just sell toys. Apparently there is a couple by me 30 or 50 miles away. If they were closer or if I had a reason for going north, I would check one out.

We may be talking about the same store, because I know there is one in northern Arizona (therefore I pay tax on my online orders ) that I seriously considered driving too at one point.

I think there's also one way down south, but none in central Arizona. : My theory is, it's ran by either Mexicans or Mormons.

 

[Buttmunch]

I'm in Utah though. So I'm sure mine is ran by Mormons

Hastings's is a books music and video store. Opened by Sam Marmaduke in connection with Walmart originally. Hastings's use to get there product from the same warehouses as Walmart but opened there own in the late 90's. Their main corporate offices are located in Amarillo Texas. There are two stores that carry their TRENDS merchandise, one in Amarillo I think but for sure there is one in St Joseph Missouri. I was video manager of one of their stores in Kansas a long time ago. They sell books, music, movies, magazines and also rent movies. Some figures they sell, especially their last ones have been opened and on display at their retail stores. But seeing as there are only two, it would be the last two they are selling. Any questions just let me know.

Wow.. Glad I just saw this post.

Just ordered 2 troopers.. Hope it comes through!

That will bring my total to 4 Troopers and 1 Officer on my Display.

We have a Hastings in my city (yukon, ok), but it's been years since I've been in it.

I believe it's in Prescott, AZ.

Yeah, I think there is one there, then one up farther Northwest, then one down in Sierra Vista. I had all three mapquested and was going to do a roadtrip on a lazy Saturday afternoon, but then I came to my senses.

[FLOSI]

Ordered one.... Might use him for parts, might not, but for 26 who cares!

 

[karamazov80]

Gohastings' Amazon store apparently ran out, then listed some more. Good sign, bad sign, no sign? Time may tell.

 

[King Darkness]

I still havent gotten anything saying my order was good or has been canceled.
