Sad to see Attacktix has never returned.

I was looking around and just found this article that seems to state that Wal-Mart may be having a special sale called "Christmas in July" and will be introducing some new products. The link is here: www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=11127 |

This news fills me with unspeakable joy. There's also this, posted by a user on that website:
You know how awesome it'd be to go into Wal-Mart for Harry Potter next week and then find the new Tix? Greatest night ever, right there. Any way you cut it, the apocalyptic side of this board will be getting one of two things this week. Either more fuel for their fire or a big ol' bucket of water that puts out the flames of their self-torment. We'll just have to wait and see.

One can only hope...
I've gotten my hopes up before though...

The link is here: www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=11127Being that July is one day away from being over, I guess this turned out to be a false alarm...  Several times this month, I went to Walmart while they were unloading their new shipments. While the employees weren't looking, I'd pick through the pallets and peek into any box that said Transformers on the outside, but, of course, it was all the same merchandise. And too think, all that embarrassment I caused Midnight Majick was for nothing! She thinks I'm a nosy scavenger.... ;D |

I only got caught once, and I have been doing it for at least 4 years. |

By picking through the boxes and putting this you dont want on the pegs you are, in a way doing them a favor by doing their job. What did they do the one time you were caught? |

What did they do the one time you were caught? Yes, do tell! I haven't been caught yet, and I've always wondered what they'd do to me if I was seen. |

I've been caught several times and they just ask me what I am looking for. No big deal. One guy got kinda crappy with me, but that was resolved with no issues. After he gave me some crap I told him what I wanted and he then helped me search the pallets for what I wanted. No big deal, it's not like they cut off a testicle if you get caught. ;D

You're a big boy, there, GE, and I think 80% of the world in not going to get 'brick' with you.

I didn't figure that castration would be the punishment, but I didn't know if they would try to say that anything not on shelves yet is off-limits, or something stupid like that. Then again, if they want to make a sale, I guess they wouldn't give a person any trouble. |

Back when Beast Wars first came out, I tried looking through some not-yet-shelved boxes that the late night stock crew had left unattended while they stopped working to do some very important complaining about one lady's husband/live-in-boyfriend/brother/some man who done her wrong. I started rooting around trying to see if there were any figs I didn't have yet, but soon a shadow fell over me as she stomped her 350+ lb self around the corner.
She bellowed 'Excuse me' at me. I don't really remember what she said, but she snapped at me as if they were her personal Transformers and she didn't want to share. I walked away.
I went back to the transformers section a little later, and she'd hung a few Beast Wars. I looked through them and she barked 'You're welcome' at me. Nowadays, I'd consider saying " I didn't thank you" but I was nicer back then. I actually did thank her- as if she'd really done me a favor? - and left. I heard her complain to another stocker as I left. I assume it was about me and not buying anything. I dunno. Gripe over!
