Ok, it is 10:45am in Brooklyn, NY. I have IN MY HANDS the new
pre-ordered  Groo statue! Am I the first? I am not bragging. I am just
curious since I  am surprised no one else seems to have bombarded the
Groop with notices.  Apparently I have #104 of 550 statues made.
The statue is  really cool, and everything is nicely packed and
presented with the tin  box. Maybe someone mentioned it before, but I had
not realized the statue  also came with a button too. It is all most
excellent. :)
At this point I bet Yodazone must be bummed he did not pre-order
his.  Hopefully you will be able to find it elsewhere. I feel bad you did
not  pre-order it... or any possible Groop member who did not, although
IS there  any other Groop member who did not pre-order theirs?).
Actually, maybe a little part of me does not feel so bad. Due to
my Groop  notices probably all of you know I have wanted to trade two out
of six Groo  insert cards for just a single IG-8 insert card (by the way
even though I  have heard from three or four people, no one has yet
locked down the deal  with me, so the trade is still available). Well,
there was an IG-8 card for  auction on eBay and within just a day or two
of the auction being listed  Yodazone made a barter deal with the seller
on the side, thus making the  IG-8 card unavailable for bidding. :(
I did not know Yodazone  was looking for an IG-8 card, but I
definitely got my hopes up when I saw  the auction. A part of me was
hoping he traded for the card in order to do  the deal with me, but alas
that was not the case. I am actually happy for  Yodazone getting an IG-8
card since he obviously wanted one, and in fact I  am sorry he did not
pre-order his statue. I just mentioned the IG-8 card  barter he made as a
friendly jab, AND maybe someone else on the Groop might  take notice that
my trade offer is still up for grabs.
I  will certainly keep my eye out for statue if anyone, including
Yodazone  wants one. Maybe with me being in NYC I might have a good
chance of coming  across it. I work as a courier in the city, so I get
around. In fact I  checked one of the larger shops in midtown toward the
end of this past week  while I was waiting for more pick-ups.
Unfortunately I did not see any of  the statues. Maybe the release date
was in fact the ship date rather than  the release date in stores.
Perhaps I will come across the statue in the  next week or two. If I do I
will post it on the Groop.
...and to all ya Groopies, enjoy thy new statues... Yodazone
excluded  :(
