Weekly booster pull part one.

I was at work last Thursday and decided to stop by the shop on that side of town and pick up a booster. They don't have designated Heroclix time but they are going to start soon so that will be cool. So I went in, hoping they had some Wolverine and the X men left, but they were out.

They had some Teen Titans and 2 boosters of Amazing Spider Man. I started my addic....collection with the Spiderman set so I checked out the two boosters and picked the one that felt right. I know I'm not the only one that does that, right? Right?

Anyway, I took the booster to the counter, then for some reason, changed my mind and went back and got the other booster. I paid for the booster and being the addict I am, opened the booster right there:



YES!! Iron Spider chase!!! And I also got Daimon Hellstrom so am I glad I switched the booster!!!

So, Monday at work, I got to thinking about the last booster of Spiderman, the one I had originally picked but then switched at the last moment. It didn't take much to come up with a reason to swing by and pick it up, I had a crappy day at work, I was going out of town this weekend and would be unable to play Heroclix and pick up my weekly booster, I had a good day at work so I deserved a treat....like I said, it wasn't hard to come up with a reason.

I kept telling myself I was an idiot for buying the last booster when I had opened a booster with a Chase. I knew I'd get nothing but dupes, probably with a Dr. Strange ( I have five of him!!! FIVE!!!) but I went anyway.

I halfheartedly checked the Teen Titans boosters (they were HEAVY! All heavier than the Spiderman booster) but grabbed the Spiderman booster anyway, grimly ready to see this idiocy through to the end. Paying for the booster, I told the store owner I was going to get nothing good, but fr some reason, I thought that booster had a Ghost Rider. I opened it and there was no Ghost Rider. But, the first figure was Spiderman 1b, which I did not have, the second was Dagger which I do have but I was happy I had at least one new figure. The cards blocked the middle figures but the last one was Satanna Hellstrom, which I did not have. Cool, both Hellstrom in two consecutive boosters. Looking over the cards, I saw two identical figures. What the heck?  Wait a second....




  

HOLY MOLY, Brother Voodoo!!! COOL! I can not believe my luck, and can not believe I talked myself into going back in there and buying the booster after getting a chase. Well,I guess I can believe I talked myself into buying the booster :)
