First let me open up the article by saying, my wife is a true dear. She ordered half of these sets for me from Toys R Us. The other half were found on Friday night with my bud and fellow HFFL gaming group member Dijabouti. (And of course my wife paid for those too.)<\/p>\n

\"LAN<\/a>The ones she ordered for me were the 3 drop pods, the Tartarus set and the two 4-packs.
\nThose came in the mail on Saturday while the LAN was going on.<\/p>\n

The previous night, I had picked up my bud Dijabouti at the airport (he came up from Fort Worth, Texas to be at the LAN). We stopped at one of the Toys R Us along the way. I didn’t expect to find anything as I hadn’t seen much in the two weeks prior. Lo’ and behold though, there were both the Fireteam sets. As well, (not pictured) were some of the Alpha Series of minifigs.<\/p>\n

My wife again surprised me by buying these for me. I mentioned previously that she got a bonus from her work. Apparently it was a little better than she let on at first. So these were given to me as birthday gifts, even though my birthday is a couple weeks away.<\/p>\n

Fellas, if you find a woman like her, MARRY<\/strong> <\/span>her! Emily (my wife) completely understands my collecting habits as she herself was a collector. Plus, she also knows that I love doing toy reviews of these sets, so that’s an added benefit.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, you’ll see these and a few more from sets she got me a week ago. In total, I’m going to have 11 sets to review for you folks. I’ll be publishing one or two a day over this week, so keep coming back to read up on those and make an informed decision about your purchase.<\/p>\n
