This Summer I ate a ton of hot dogs but now that it is cold I’m looking for an entirely different Hot Dog.

I went to GameStop a ton of times to try and find this set but it was nowhere to be found. So I turned to the internet again and went to the GameStop site. The set had not been available for a little while but when I last tried it was available and I even found a code for free shipping so I ended up getting it delivered to the house today for free. But I haven’t gotten to play with these guys yet. Soon enough, soon enough.

But I didn’t buy it and the price went back up to $129 and then back to $149. They haven’t sold many at any price so I wait and I watch. But I decided to go another route.
