Hi,

Today is the day to let your voice be heard. Get out to your local polling station and make your choice!!!

FIND A LOCAL POLLING PLACE! (http://www.vote411.org/pollfinder.php?source=ppbs)

Tomorrow we will have elected a new president, and what better way to celebrate than to get out to your local comic shop and pick up all your favorite new titles for the week. It also stimulates the economy! ;)
If you’d like to see what’s new to your local comic book shop before making the trek down there, just click the link below…

That’s all from me. Let’s check in with Ben “Candy Fiend” Vance for his half of the update…

Hey, Everyone!

Election Day is finally here, so get out there and vote for your candidate! After all the campaigning and several political threads, we finally get to voice our opinion today through voting.

Not only is it Election Day, but it’s also Shadow Tuesday! Can you guess who this is from an upcoming NHL Series?

Also, here is LaDainian Tomlinson from the Target 3” Exclusive Series.

Tomlinson and the rest of the 3” NFL lineup (Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Terrell Owens and Peyton Manning) will be available in January!

That’s all for today!

I agree about the carbine, but I don't like the figure's color scheme at all.

I'm going to get a couple and swap out the new right hand with my blue combat elite's so he can actually hold the carbine.

Early December it should be available. Diamond has to bundle the books with the figure still. I would guess that the people that order the book only we'll recieve their copies first.

I didn't have to wait at all. not a single other person was there when I came in.

I had one person infront of me. I went at noon, thought it would be a little more crowded than that. But I was glad I didn't have to stand in an hour line.

Joe -

Was there ever confirmation that the 5th cover of S.185 was actually released?

It was released, but in very limited quantities.

Maybe with the revamp of the comic, we'll get a new series to figures too.

So Joe which candidate do you like the most?

So Joe which candidate do you like the most?

I'll say this; I'm from Arizona and have never been impressed with McCain's leadership or his business ethics.

I feel he relates more to Sun City, AZ than Tempe, AZ.

+1
I would rather have a white combat elite or a gold one then tan.

11-04-2008, 05:41 PM

Is that elite some kind of exclusive???

Hope not, because I really want to get it. I'm not really into halo stuff, but that seems like the best halo figure yet IMHO.

I've also had a few questions about the Halo 2008 Wave 1 Halo points.

The points are now located at the bottom of the packaging, seen here:
http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc253/cloewashere/HaloPoints_2009Wave1.jpg

We should be redeeming the points first thing in January.

Will ALL of Series 4/2009 Wave 1 be worth only 10 points a piece ala Series 3? Or will we go back to variety in points ala Series 1/Series 2?

I would have voted, but im only seventeen, and i would have voted for Obama, i have my reasons, and personally, i would have rather voted for Hilary. Oh, adn the Elite is awesome, not much for th e ccolor, but eh, Carbines for me... and reference to the Silver Assault elite from Series 2, i would never have thought of having them holding the Battle rifle that way.......

Election's over anyway, so doesn't really matter.

Frankly, I think January and February will be fun months, no matter which side you're on. We get to see if Obama's can walk the walk or if it was all talk. I'll miss following the election, but now we can keep an eye on how this goes.

I'm glad Obama won, history has been made.
