Alright, So I just got back from my trip today, and overall it was pretty cool. Mosquitoes suck.
Yesterday we went shopping at in a small Trinidadian mall, and of course i stopped at a toystore for the hell of it. Lo and behold, off to the left of the small store, there was a 50% off bin stuffed with engine gear bey, about 6-8 CDN each. So i bought three, being that the were mainly three types, all of which i bought one of.
Dragoon GT, DranzerGT and Zeus something. [EG and free spinning AR] The boxes for torch pegasus and gigars were mutilated, so i didn't bother. Walk a bit more into the corner, and you'd walk into a 1.5 ft tall stack of Draciel Fortress stadiums, around 23 CDN each. I figured The HMS stadium i got off Khel was so much better, with thicker plastic, tornado ridge, etc. And it wouldn't be as much as a pain in the arse to carry it around. The only reason i would've actually considered buying one would be for the size, but i wouldn't risk putting it in a suitcase. I've seen houses of cards with more durability.
These were all legit too, in hasbro boxes. Pics to come.
So i got home.
*runs upstairs*
*assembles dragoon gt*
*shoots full strength into TB type-S stadium*
*Dragoon suicides*
*tears*
Yeah. Pretty much useless. Gonna get some nail varnish, apply the stickers, and put them on a shelf somewhere. Funny how trinidad's lack of development worked in my favor this time.
I'll go back in another 1-2 years. Maybe they'll have some HMS xD
So another surprise. I arrived home, and after toying around with the useless plastics i broke out the mfb.
Only to realize my last good launcher, my Right launcher, has officially gone to sh*t. I just pray i can recieve these bey shipments covertly, and that my parents don't explode. D:
edit: sorry for the long post >.>
