You think country music is embedded in a gun culture? You need to listen to more country music. But in all seriousness, if you think country is that embedded, you should try a little rap. That is all about drugs, alcohol, guns, and rape. I feel pretty informed on the matter since I used to work with folks in the industry, both producers and performers (yes performers, it's rare for them to write their own material).
You better!
In total agreement here, Robey.
I'm no fan of "Country Music", especially the simplistic, homogenus, pop-stuff that's been the norm for the last decade or so.
But I don't see it as "gun culture". I know several people who are into "country music" and I know several people who are gun owners. There's an intersection to that Venn diagram to be sure, but every gun owner that I know is responsible with their weapons and the opportunity for murder/suicide/accident is almost non-existent.
I totally agree with the "rap music" assessment. I can't think of a single "country" song off the top of my head in which guns are featured, but I can think of plenty of rap "songs" in which guns feature prominently.
I really want to play a team with Fixer, Larfleeze, and Sargon. Have a brick grab a tombstone and run into place, then have Larfleeze generate an object underneath Fixer. Have Fixer change it into a Meteorite, then have Sargon swap it for the Tombstone. Fun stuff =]
So, as a refresher, who's ordered, paid or otherwise planning to get into this set this week?
As I understand it, Sox and Chi are continuing to concentrate funds on DC sets, and so I don't believe they're looking to do more than dabble -- mostly planning to trade their way to any pieces they may want. At the other end of the spectrum, I'm in and long since paid for on two cases of the set, just hoping for good pulls and that the place I'm buying from is a bit more prompt on shipping this time out so I'm not opening them up a week after seemingly everyone else is all but done with their buys and trading. Another couple boosters I'll get in next weekend's marquee. Whether I'll pick some up mid-week to take the edge off is something I won't know until I've done it or I haven't.
I'll probably get a case, at least a brick. The chases, thankfully, aren't must haves for me. I just really need the SRs and a bunch of CUR pieces. Any chases are a bonus.
The Ever Growing Trickster and Pied Piper KO List!
U Ganthet, Labcoat Beast, Cap and Bucky
Not removing this until we get Clock King and The Rose-01/23/11
Come on, NECA-Marvel Horror Theme Set 2011!
I will pick up my 1 1/2 cases on Wednesday. I am trying to clarify if my venue owner wants help opening cases for individual orders again like he did for GSX. That turned into a huge opening party with 4 guys opening at the same time. It really helped fill the set as we were trading on the spot without people looking up prices, so it was more of a gutt feel and friendly. No gouging for prices.
If he does need help I will get mine on Tuesday.
Jonna and I will be there on Tuesday, so you should join us.

it is hard to say right now, since WK favors B&M getting their stuff first.
I'm not concerned about timing of purchase... I shouldn't even be considering a purchase to be honest (given my financial state and recent events). I just miss the thrill of boosters so much.

I have only ever bought stuff from Troll and Toad, and I was pretty happy with the price/timing of shipment.

Depends on what you are looking for...might want to try Hill's wholesale gaming. They do have a 12 booster back lot of Indy clixs for 12 dollars, and they usually have different deals every day etc...also just looking saw a website that had a brick of WoS for 30 bucks about with shipping :-/ was listed under google when looking for cheap bricks of heroclix...
