    Got up and checked out hobby cos website today, they had a few different bioshock figures listed which are very hard to find out here. so i hop on a train and get to the city, i look around their action figure section, none there, So i look around a few other spots i thought they might be. Nothing to be found, so i politely ask a staff member if he knew if they had them, i get a rude short reply of, I dunno. so I mention they are on the website he just shurgs and walked off. Now, being in retail i know what a pain in the ass customers can be, but when you throw something on your website you'd think you'd make sure it was actually in your inventory. (...) moron. A waste of my sunday and $7 for a train ticket.

    Hobbyco has 3 stores so the inventory listed on their website may not necessarily be available at the city store. I only know this because a while back, I tried to get a lego set listed on their site and rang the city store to inquire about it and they told me it was at their Rhodes store.
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you

    had the same problem with another toy store. Called every branch and none of them had it but it was on the website catalogue

    Thought I'd bought a classics astrotrain MIP on ebay earlier this month (thats what the item listing said and the picture showed)... the package arrived today and inside was a universe tankor!!
    Not happy.... have opened a paypal dispute and we'll see what happens

    EDIT: received a full refund, got to keep tankor... slightly mollified but still disappointed no Astrotrain

    just so stressed with work/life. Thank God for sports! When I play, it's like nothing else matters until the game is over and it's back to stress again.
