2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

A while back I was In a bit of a pinch and had to sell off a bunch of my figures. I was able to re- collect most of it except for my collection of Playmates comic book turtles. The price on them has gone up so imagine my surprise when this set popped up on eBay for a meager $25 and few bucks more for shipping. That's about $5 per figure! Not only that but you get an awesome carrying case to boot.I don't think I'll be taking these guys out of their packaging. I'll be stashing them until I can get into a bigger place. 

It's nice to be able to pick off figures on ebay, as needed. I can do it from the comfort of my home over a cup of coffee while chilling on my couch. However, it's twice as nice running into that same figure in the wild. No shipping fees or wait times. Plus, you get to inspect the figure before purchasing. I was shocked to see Big Boa on the pegs at my local Walmart a few weeks back. It was cool to be able to throw something other than an Epic Heroes figure into my shopping cart. Since then I've spotted a retro carded Duke and Quick Kick.  I Hope they're still there when I go back. 

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. 

We'll, in my case, the clearance section! Strolling down my local Walmart's toy aisle the other day, nothing really great caught my eye. I always check the usuals, Marvel, Transformers, first. Then it's on to the MOTU section where I spend a little extra time as, out of the three, it's the line I've been enjoying the most. You would think GI Joe would be first on this list and they would be if I could ever find any related product. Most of the time I don't even bother looking for it due to scalpers eradicating any and all hopes of me finding anything with the name GI Joe on it. Good thing Spirit is an expert stealth survivalist as he was able to escape the slimy  clutches of multiple, slimy toy resellers and make his way onto the clearance shelves where I would ultimately make contact and go in for the rescue! Spirit is safe now and will be reunited with the rest of his Joe team when I finally get moved into my new place this coming Saturday👍

I stopped in my local Walmart a few minutes ago and came across this! I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought I was dreaming. I almost told the lady standing next to me to pinch me but I don't think her husband would have liked that very much. What did I bring home you ask? Stay tuned for the follow up post.

Every week I take a ride out to Buffalo to see my daughter. Each visit consists of a ride to McDonald's for lunch and then another down to the local Walmart for a makeup run. There's 2 Walmart's, actually, but we hit up the one closest to where she lives. On these runs, she'll typically go her way to find her cosmetics and I'll check out the toy aisle, and then we meet back up to shop in tandem. Unfortunately, my daughter usually has to put up with my "scalper" or "bare toy aisle" rant. I don't think she understands the pain and I doubt she ever will. Hopes of GI Joe Classified and Marvel Legends retro crushed by rows upon rows of Power Rangers and Godzilla figures can take it's toll.  I paid for my daughter's things and we exited as I licked my wounds and kicked rocks on the way to the car. I thought about going to the other store which was about 15 minutes away but decided not to. If it wasn't for my kid insisting on going becau...
