Curse Or Blessing?/This Was Our Bluetooth

The dreaded empty space on your toy shelf! Is this a curse or a blessing? I don't know about you  but the minute I see an unused portion of  a shelf , my mind starts racing and I immediately begin   brainstorming the display possibilities lol. On the other hand , a vacant space like this can serve other purposes .I like to use It as a designated place to   snap pics of action figures. In fact I have a habit of leaving small spots like this open for that very reason. Although,the temptation to display something there Is strong !

Also , what exactly did we do before Bluetooth? Back In our day,anything wireless had to run on batteries and If It happened to be a speaker ,you'd still have to run an aux. cord or  AV cables. I remember the day I discovered the aux. port on an old boom box I had.I always wondered what It was for. Then It hit me!The hook up looked   alot like the headphone jacks that were present on most CRT  television sets. Shortly after I'd find out how to hook up exterior speakers to most of my TV's . It really added to the gaming experience,especially If your boom box had a bass boost feature.

    What about more G.I. Joe's? Someone floated that around a few weeks ago.

    I wish I had empty space on shelves in my office. They've been filled for at least the past five years. As much as I love me some old school video game consoles... if I had to choose between them and bluetooth... I'm going bluetooth all day everyday ;)

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.
