There's been no Thunder 147's available here (Okinawa) for about 4-5 months time so when I went to the shop today to see if they got any of those or Spitfire Radials all I noticed was the walls full of old and mostly unwanted Dwindle (I still love Enjoi) and Santa Cruz decks, one Frog deck, a nearly empty truck case (except for Indy) and other than one set of black Lock-Ins, a completely empty and dusty Spitfire shelf. I wish they carried more variety because whenever DLX misses shipments (which has been happening a lot lately) the shop looks pitiful, for months... The guy working today basically said "DLX can slurp (or suck) my butt (loosely translated), they keep screwing us over and only send soft goods and shitty black wheels since summer months". I told him not to put all your eggs in one basket but I think that went right over his head and stuck to the wall of shitty decks.
I order some things from the US but the shipping and time it takes to get here is somewhat of an expensive bummer.
(Duh duh duh!) Then, all of the sudden, a box behind the counter....two sets of trucks I have never seen before (in person) spotted out of the corner of my eye! A black set and a silver set of the new Tensor Mag Lights with the updated geometry. 5.5 models too, just what I need size-wise!
So, after my long, whiny and complaint filled story. I got a set of Tensors to try out on an Alien Workshop 8"/14.25"WB or a Theories 8.125"/14.25"WB to see how these things are. I hope I like them because they were really fucking expensive!!! Good god damn they were expensive! I paid the equivalent of $128.00 US dollars for a set of China trucks!
