SS Divers + FC Divers...Yes or No?
Gentlemen, this is my first post on this Forums. I'm a bit confuse and need some advice to decide my next move. Here it goes : I already have SS Divers and I have been eyeing FC Divers for sometimes. Since I read on this forums that FC Divers will be discontinued, so I'm kind of worry if I don't buy it now, I won't be able to find the new FC Divers to buy in the future.
