stram8777 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 I have been looking everywhere for one of the new altenator Tracks. While at Wal-mart the other night I "saw" one. So I happily grabbed it to look at it and begin formaulateing a strategy on how to convince my wife that I simply can not live without it. When I notice, it is a blue corvette but not the right blue corvette. Somebody stole tracks and replaced it with a different blue corvette. the kind that are like 1:24 scale and sell for about $10. I can only guess that they bought tracks for $10. I hate thieves I really really REALLY need a tracks, and I got screwed. Ok now I feel better I guess I will just have to keep looking. Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 :eek: That is a GREAT (but sneaky) move that I might have to do myself. Hehehehe. Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 oh snap!! That's funny!!! Sucks though, but funny. I can imagine that happening around here! Just be glad that you didn't buy it and then noticing it afterwards! Quote
Solscud007 Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 That is pretty sad that you cant afford a 20 dollar toy. But hey I was going to do the same thing with Omega Supreme and Unicron Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 That's becoming more and more common, if you read the TF boards. And not just Altenators. Quote
DARKWIND Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Yeah some cats out there are getting really hard up. . . Or just down right sh*tty. That is a whole new low. . . But not really a new trick. . . Tough luck man Quote
gerwalk25 Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 IT WAS MEEEEEEEE!!! MWUAHAHA!!! That was LMAO funny ! Quote
KingNor Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 i just think it's funny they bothered to put the other convertable in the box trax was in. i bet you could have it fingerprinted Quote
stram8777 Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 The sad thing was they were both blue corvette's Tracks is a Z06 and it was replaced with a ZR-1. It was at least very convincing. So much so that when I showed my wife she thought I was lying to her. I am still disappointed, and I feel that it was an inside job. I have begun casing the homes of several Wal-Mart employees. THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THAT THEY KEPT ME FROM MY NEW CORVETTE!!!!! LOL j/k Anyway that is a nice looking TF. I can't wait to find one. Gonna have to get a Blue and a Yellow version. Quote
EXO Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 The other cars aside from the Alt Smokescreen and Side Swipe are getting easier and easier to find. I've seen Streak, DeadEnd and Hound almost every time I go to Target or Walmart. There were 3 Tracks when I bought mine... (one left after I left.) and I was lucky enough to snag a Meister while I was there. I wouldn't be that worried about not getting one. It's just sucks that someone would go thru that trouble, it's not even worth what you have to go thru if you get caught. Quote

I managed to order Meister from Wal-mart online, they had it in stock there. They overcharge for shipping, but still better than what Meister's been going for on ebay. I have a charge form BBTS posted on my account, which means Tracks should be shipping soon as well. Quote
