No, I meant 30 armour for 5 bikes. I'm bad at haggling.

Yeah well, I don't have a paypal and I doubt I could mail you 5 bikes and pay for the shipping.

Not loot (at least not yet), but I found out that my local gaming store has one Striking Venom - yes, the one from five years ago - in stock. There was a Star Wars vehicle, too, but I forget which one and how old it was. Am I willing to spend the $80 just to get a set I won't find anywhere else? Only time will tell.

How much is the striking venom? About two years ago when I was in NY I went to a lego store and got a sweet deal of two venoms for the price of one, looked pretty badass.

Eeeeh, I dunno 80$ is a bit steep. I mean it's nice and big (I had one in hand), but it's barely poseable and feels very thin and hollow.

yeah dude if its full price bypass it its not worth getting it if its not on sale

Thanks for being my conscience, guys.

Besides, I'm actually just heading out to transfer some cash into my savings and buy two battle packs, which are much more useful.

I don't think they'll cut the price very soon. If it's been around for five years and is still at full price, it's unlikely.

Eh, Striking Venom was a pretty crummy set to me. Next to no poseability, and hardly any dakka/play value. After a couple of years of having a Striking Venom sitting on my shelf, collecting dust, I finally scrapped it for parts.

Get a Bridge Walker instead.
