Also, to everyone calling me grievousXe, just stick with grievous. The "Xe" is just showing my support for a certain following and can be disregarded when referring to me. I'm better known as just plain ol' Grievous. xe = xenon: a colorless odorless inert gaseous element occurring in the earth's atmosphere in trace amounts Gas is good......

Ah, but Xenon has a few peculiar properties: 1. Xenon is a noble gas. 2. When an open element is energized in a field of xenon gas, the light emitted from the element is very close in spectrum to noon-day sun, making it great for photography. 3.Xe-133 is a radioisotope - wow! 4. And probably the most apropos, Xenon is a derivative of the Greek "Xeno", or "Stranger/Strange One".
So, Grievous is not only a Strange One, but he illuminates all in his line of sight, is radoiactive, and is noble? That's for you to decide!

ROFL. Xenon has nothing to do with the Xe but superfly's post made me grin. Amazing what coincidence can do for you. No, the Xe comes from sXe (check the "s" at the end of grievous ) which stands for straight-edge which I have already mentioned my following of here. I'd been wanting to do something with it in my username but I despise the "x at beginning and end" bit since it has become far over used online. Then I thought of adding sXe in somewhere and when I realized I had the perfect opportunity with the "s" at the end of my username, I took advantage of the opportunity . Because, really, which is lamer: XgrievousX/xGRIEVOUSx/xgrievousx or grievousXe? Sure, they're all silly looking but at least mine is unique .

Well, why not change to Grievous-SE or The Straightedge Pimp or GrievousSaysNoToDrugs?
<Edit>
Ah, now I get it. This is an ego trip. You really changed it to GrievouSxE because you're REALLY trying to tell everyone (phoenetically):
Greev - You - Sexy
You pinko commie prevert! ;D

I don't know about an ego trip. He didn't tell us what (e)Xe was until we made a big deal about it. Perhaps he was just trying to be encouraging to him self and a couple others in on the name change.

Yesterday, Midnight Majick and I officially completed our quest of going to every TJ Maxx and Marshalls within 25 miles of us. That's 14 stores all together! Anyways, we got some more cool stuff, but what I'd really like is one more TF-S2 starter, so if anyone is interested in trading one for a new SW-S5 or M-S2 starter PLEASE let me know. sXeDefendersXeofsXeNewsXeParadronsXe

Well, why not change to Grievous-SE Doesn't have the all-important straight-edge X No Grievous in it but, more importantly, goes against the straight-edge principle of no promiscuity. Now that's just lame . You're about three weeks old on that joke. I once pronounced sXe out loud a bit to fast and it came out EXACTLY like "sexy". It's sad, really. Finally, the proper way to pronounce my name phonetically (or how I do) is Greev-ess-ex-ee. You have to say it slowly or else it comes out wrong and sounds a bit like wht you have above. It's more of a badge of honor than anything, kinda like flying the American flag (not really but I had to slip a patented horrible Grievous analogy in here somewhere).

Again with the talking about grievous!? Why don't we give him his own thread so you guys who love him so can discuss Grievous and talk about how cool or not cool or what he is doing or saying or how you like to look deep into his eyes or whatever. I'll put a thread in general gab. for you.

What can I say, I'm the coolest guy on the board at the moment considering I was the lucky buzzard that happened to spot new Attacktix in the most unlikely of places and, therefore, helped people get the starters at an insanely low price. That's not ego talking, that's fact. I got insanely lucky and now I reap the benefits by getting fifteen minutes of fame for getting the word out about new Tix. As soon as someone finds the SW5/TF2/MV2 boosters or comes across info on SW6/TF3/MV3 and when they come out, they'll be the new "cool guy" of the board.
That, and I'm the board members' personal punching bag. Just ask Yodabreaker, malform, superfly, and the others. I'm so odd that you just HAVE to pick on me when I post. It's one of my mutant abilities "Internet Insult Lightning Rod" along with "Attacktix Magnetism" and "Bad Analogy Powers". If I'm not careful, Sylar's gonna eat my brain!

Well, with 2 starter sets (still no Transformers!) I can say that I am most impressed with Marvel. Here is my list from best to worst. Marvel Thing. He has a large base, good downward strike, recover ability, and only 20 points to boot! Hulk. Little cumbersome with his swing, but you have to love the sculpt. Would have made him #1 is he was 30 points. Spidey web chucker. Fun to play with even if not very effective. You can also rescue him for the frustration to continue. Doc Ock. We are doomed to have sucky Doc Ocks. What's the deal Hasbro? Star Wars Heavy Storm trooper.20 points, medium base, great special, what's not to like? Chewbacca.12 speed is awesome! Special is just ok IMO. Han Solo.Awesome sculpt, wish they would have made him 20 points. Great special. Vader.Not sure what Hasbro was thinking or drinking when they made this one. By far the worse figure in Attacktix history. Transformers

Hmmm...one TJ Maxx here in town had NO 'Tix stuff, the other had some, including a TF2 starter...so it must be a bit hit or miss even within the chain.

As I mentioned earlier, between MidnightMajick and myself, we searched every TJ Maxx and Marshalls within 25 miles of us. Only about 8 of them had any new stuff, and about 4 had nothing at all. Then there was one store that had one each of all the new items, plus a plethora of all things from the current series'!
