Pokemon Valentines, Now With Razor Blades

minghui — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:01:44 MDT

I am in need of 10 different pokemon figures. I am missing Pupitar, Pineco, Snover, Azelf, Golem, Ralts, Claydol, Aron, Zapdos, and Budew. I was thinking about buying a collection from this LDU Company in China but I really don't need 288 pokemon figures, and that is the smallest collection that I see them listing on their website www.LDUcompany.com

I am trying to find a place to buy just the ten that I need. Has anyone ever bought pokemon characters from this LDU website? Oh yeah, here is a link to the page with all the pokemons [www.liangdianup.com]

Any ideas please post and let me know :)

Judging from the picture at the site, it looks to me that the "blade" or whatever it is, was accidentally from the manufacturing process (maybe a piece of metal broke off, or a blade fell in). Unless it is laying on the surface of the sucker's backside, it looks embedded to me. And if that's the case, then the piece of metal didn't just get shoved into the sucker.

And for the record, Dollar General isn't a dollar store
any more than a Family Dollar is.

Word of advice: Shit at the dollar store probably isn't going to be top notch. If you're only gonna pay a dollar for valentines with bundled with lollipops, you should expect the lollipops to be either poisonous, or filled with razor blades.

etho — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 16:09:38 MST

Just to clarify: The chances that this was an intentional act of malice are almost zero. Warehouses from which these products are shipped use box cutters, and chances are the blades fell in with the candy there and weren't noticed.

Either the Florida police are completely stupid, or... yeah that's the only explination. Because on the news this morning a police officer said, "We believe it may look like the end of a box cutter, but we're currently investigating this further."

Well, they sure did solve that one!

RvBPrvtCaboose — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:08:24 MST

Clearly they are trying to send a message here. If your significant other gives you a pokemon valentine, then odds are you're going to want a razor blade soon (not for shaving). They're just packaging together two complementary products. They also appeal to the young emo nerds.

I also really want to make a Pokemon pun somehow, but I don't think anyone could do better than the "Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf. Lickitung dodges." that is still making me laugh.

Umm... Okay okay; I hope there aren't any other suckers that went out like this. The store better be sure to catch 'em all before they're sold. (EH!?)

I came here with a razor leaf joke ready only to see I've been beaten to the punch. *thinks of other pokemon related joke* "I'd always laughed at the warnings of razor blades in candy..yes, some people do hate children, or at least Pokemon, that much." The only pokemon that a razor filled lollipop would be super effective on would be a lickatung. *lowers head in shame from shitty joke*

and it wasn't real. It was BS.
