Collector Quandary!

It's been a little hectic around here the last couple of days.I was hit with what seemed like a flu and with this crazy weather ,I've been getting a little stir crazy.I don't have much to blog about these next couple of  days,well,toy related anyways. I've got one integral part to my Marvel Universe on the way as well as some gaming peripherals. I've really been in an in - between stage as of late.Not sure where I want to go next as far as toys go.Should I concentrate on vintage?Stick to Marvel Universe collecting or go back to what started It all for me ,G.I. Joe ?I'm no mini figure collector but I do like the 80's mini PVC stuff. Tonka PVC Pound Puppies have caught my eye as well as Cabbage Patch and Smurfs.But that's It.That's about where I am right now with collecting.In a grey area.When that happens I usually turn to gaming.It gives me a break from thinking about things too much.Anyways ,I'll have some new content to blog about shortly and I may also decide to do the Round Robin this week,seeing as how I totally skipped out on my own challenge last week, hee-hee!No promises though.Like I said ,I'm feeling a little scatterbrained at the moment.

    I just went through the same collectors quandary because I had basically spread myself to thin. I posted about my decision : https://greenplasticsquirtgun.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-forces-of-evil.html

    Hey man,

    I'm getting ready to start dumping my entire Marvel Universe collection. If you send me a list of what you're looking for (or want to know what I have), just let me know. Shoot me an email: barbecue17 AT actionfigurebarbecue.com. I'd rather they go to someone collecting them actively who posts cool pics of them.

    Pound Puppies. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

    P.S. Hope you feel better!

    Those old 80's PVC figures have always been on my radar. I am currently on the lookout for the early 80s Ideal Toys Alvin & The Chipmunks PVC figures! Looking forward to seeing what you have up next for us!

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou...

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
