A burqa (also burkha, burka or burqua) is an enveloping outer garment worn by women in some Islamic traditions for the purpose of cloaking the entire body. It is worn over the usual daily clothing (often a long dress or a salwar kameez) and removed when the woman returns to the sanctuary of the household.

Well said (or plagiarized), Greylock. Hey, I quoted my source. I do only steal from the best, ya know And don't confuse a burka with a gurka. Gurkas are the traditional "slit your throat" knives used by the Thuggees in old time India. Looks a bit like an elongated double-edged knife with a 45ยบ bend halfway up the blade. You can wear a burka and use a gurka but can't wear a gurka and use a burka. That will just scare people or make them laugh. ;D

thanks. oh yes jimmy211 why are storm wings so scarce? Hasbro had a absolute brainfart on the wave 3 assortment. They put refreshers of the slow selling wave 2 boosters (dune stinger & shock berserker). Then they doubled up on two neo-sapiens which were cool but not as visually appealing as storm wing. Tomb Wraith was good decision to keep as a short pack. To me hasbro screwed up in putting a stinger AND a shocker in every case to refresh toys that weren't that good or selling well in the first place. One of each in every other case was more than enough to meet demand. Storm Wing was supposed to be a refresher in the wave 4 cases but since those assortments got canned for a full production run early on those stormies probably never even got made. Instead full cases of the wave 4 three shipped and storm wing along with Tomb Wraith will always be the holy grails in this line. ~SS~

Man, we even got Dune Stinger and Shock Berzerker in New Zealand. And that's saying something.
