Yesterday I got the Twitter message, was already sitting at my laptop (when am I ever not at my computer?) and checked out as quickly as possible.

It really seems that these days you have to jump on it within the first 10 minutes or it is lost. I totally missed out this year. Knowing what I know from past customizing classes, and how often there are people who bring a bunch of family members with them (making your feat even more impressive), I think they should move to a lottery system for the class. But at least we'll have a good look at the toy. I’m impressed you were able to get into the customizing class.

(Except I HAVE tried to sign up before and failed every time) I was always curious, but this year I felt like I HAD to have it. I’m right there with you on the customization class.

I'd sell you mine for an outrageous markup, but alas, I couldn't afford the price of admittance to start with. Being a part-time college teacher is like taking a vow of poverty. But yeah... I want the new animated figs, too, especially Dragstrip (my wife bought me a Classics Dragstrip a while back, AND loves Arcee, so it's like combining two cool wifey things in one).

That timer thing ran out when I was reading some stuff for the international shipping, and badoom, I had to re-type everything. And the last primus package was bought. Wanna hear a funny story?
