Has anyone been to their local GameStops, or EBs lately? Because if you have, you probably saw the MK:D standees they have now. It is basically the picture of Baraka standing in between those two beds of spikes. It is almost exactly the same as the print ad circulating in the magazines. My very good friend and former co-worker at GameStop has saved it for me. It is going in my bedroom.

That's awesome, you better get in there and request it because if I remember correctly, it is first come first serve regarding those stand-ups. (I worked at GameStop for 2 years so I know.) I also took home the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance one when that game first came out, but the Deception standee is infinitely cooler.

At least your shops know what Mortal Kombat is. I went in there today to pre-order it and the manager said "Mortal Kombat, what the hell is that?"

I just saw it today for the first time. Thankfully GameStop is holding it for me. I also have a 4x5 Mortal Kombat Deception Sub-Zero sticker. Not 4in.X5in., 4ftX5ft! This thing is MASSIVE! It was supposed to go on the front of Game Crazy's window. I have a friend who gave it to me though. It's wicked sick! Only thing that bugs me is the "Reserve Now" up top. The thing is so huge though.... I'm not quite sure where to put it. =\ Or if I should even put it up anywhere.

I'll do you one better. The other day, I saw a big standee with Scorpion throwing his spear, and with a motorized dragon symbol on top, which caught my eye in the window.

The GameStop I'm getting mine from is where I worked for 2 years. I know everyone there and am very good friends with everyone. The guy that saved me the stand-up is a good friend of mine that I have worked with from the beginning. I moved on, but he still looks out for any Mortal Kombat shit I might like. The stand-up is a perfect example. And yes, some GameStop's allow their regular customers to "claim" certain stand-ups in the store pending no employee has already done so. It is first come first serve however, so you better be fast.

I didn't know the people that worked there. I asked them what they were going to do with the standup when they were done with it and they said, "Toss it out.". So, I asked if I could have it and they said it was not a problem at all. Alot of the standups they end up tossing if nobody wants them. I'm sure if you went to Game Stop and saw a standup they would give it to you if nobody claimed it yet.

I haven't seen the Scorpion standup yet. O_o Sounds badass! I'm going to have to go looking for that.
