    My youngest son decided last night that all he really wants for Christmas is a Razor Electric Scream Machine. That's all fine and good, except that they don't exist. I've called every Oshmans in the metro area (except SW Ft Worth), and they're all sold out. I've also been to 4 Wal Marts, same result. If any of you happen to run across one of these in your last minute shopping, please let me know!

    Yes, I'm desperate. Not desperate to pay overnight shipping charges though. :)

    If someone in the Austin area locates one (or if you can locate one down here) I can drive it up when I head into Ft. Worth Friday.

    Kids today have it good. I had something like that when I was a kid, but I had to pedal it! :)

    Time to call the Circuit City's I guess. I've called every Toys R Us, every Pep Boys, every Oshmans. There are 3 in town, all 3 are display models. One isn't for sale because it's defective.

    Just bought one from www.overstock.com. $99 + $1 overnight shipping, guaranteed by Christmas.

    Wagers on whether it will arrive?

    Found myself at Irving mall tonite, did a quick lap around Circuit City for curiosity's sake. Didn't see any of those things...

    Slightly O/T; there was a store in the Irving Mall that sells a bunch of random cheapo die-cast and those mini-motorcycle things. Anyway, I popped in for the off chance that they'd have some Ferrari stuff. They did, a 1:18 scale Hotwheels F1 car, but the back of the package said it was an F399... But it was definately either the 2003 or 4 car in the box, and bad quality even for Hot Wheels (which isn't bad for what you pay IMO). The box design and printing looked legit, but I suspect it was a bootleg or knockoff of some kind.

    Is the intake hump (dorsal fin?) solid red, or does it have the white field painted on it?

    Damn, that figures. There was one right in my own 'back yard'. Story of my life. The place you donated them to needs them worse than my son.

    Don't get me started on how hard it is to find a 4D cell maglite in any color other than blue or black.
