The Libra description for the Copper Gnome in World of Final Fantasy.
It is incredibly satisfying to face one of these and shout, "Myeeah, see! You'll never take me alive, copper! (If you got that reference, then congratulations! You are old!

Man, FUCK Gamestop. I ordered a physical copy of Killing Floor 2 THE FUCKING DAY BEFORE they drop the price 25% for their pre-Black Friday sale. I mean, it's only $10, but still, man. Fuck.

I had no choice! It's a Gamestop-exclusive in North America! My choice was buy from them or spend an extra $10 and week of shipping importing from the UK.

Seems like "GameStop exclusives" end up being sold elsewhere. Wasn't Tales of Hearts R supposed to be exclusive? Amazon has it in stock.

Yes Tales of Hearts R was supposed to be a GameStop exclusive, and it absolutely was available from other outlets on release day. "GameStop exclusive" is just a marketing tool and shouldn't be supported by fearful preorders.

I was all smiles last night and afternoon. I found a big plastic zip comforter bag at Goodwill loaded with late 70s/80s toys. Star Wars, Transformers, GIJoe, and Heman (plus a few broken odds and ends.) Sadly I had to toss out Gen Ackbar and IG88 the bounty hunter robot due to them not having all their limbs. Not going to lie, not planning to keep all of this, but some of it oh yeah. Chewy and Boba Fett, the chopper and 2 predacons, the GIJoe MP and maybe more, just depends.

Have fun see if you can ID them all. :) This is the same place a year ago I pulled a good $500 in Lego sets and parts out of a $15 stack of 4 smaller tubs.

I didn't pre-order, but the only other listings I've seen are Asian copies on Play-Asia and British copies being resold on Amazon.
