What toys do you A: Regret not buying cheap, B: Found reasonably or C: Paid too much!

Well I now have a new all time winner for 'spent too much'.

I really wanted the US-TRU exclusive G1 Kreo Grimlock set. But after my TRU account kept stuffing up and TRU could not sort it out I decided to get it posted to the same US friend who got my Hasbro MP Soundwave for me.

So, a $30US figure, $10US to get it shipped to my friend. So now $40US. But I think "What the hell, its small and flat and light so should be very cheap to post so should only cost me maybe another $15 at most". Give my friend instructions to use the cheapest possible shipping method as it cost me a bit when she shipped Soundwave.

Get contacted by my friend. I forgot she and her husband are lovely but not the brightest bikkies in the barrel (she took up 'bikini dancing' {apparently different from stripping} as a career at age 41 and he legally changed his name to 'Blade'). They said it cost them 50 damn dollars US to ship it! And when it gets here its in a box that could easily have fit 6 of this kit and they have used an expensive carrier!

So I just ended up paying $90US for a $30US Kreo set

Ummm this is just my opinion and I'm sorry if I offend but your friends sound like morons. Unless this woman has a celebrity calibre body you should not take up bikini dancing as a career at 41.

Again sorry if I offend but I had to deal with more stupid than usual today and I've had my fill.

I find it more off putting that a grown man would legally change his name to 'Blade' when he is a pale skinny white guy and not a muscular African-American vampire hunter
