I was waiting for some snappy Toy Fair-specific lyrics ... Anyway, it may not be much now but Toy Fair + Toyfare magazine back in the day = awesome.

Yeah, something screwy happened. He's been up everyday on Target's eBay store with wide windows of availability. I was in a store last night and they had about a dozen Law & Orders marked at $23 something. What I keep missing on Bullseye Deals is the $17.99 firefighter and police officer, Not...

I popped in Thursday or Friday as I do occasionally out of morbid curiosity — it's also still one of my shortcuts — and it was up and running. I think one of the Marvel topics showed recent activity but literally nothing else.

I started going to early showings, a lot of the time early Sunday afternoons, last year after I had trouble staying awake for a late showing of Nosferatu and it's changed my life. Like mrboshek says, there's hardly anybody at these screenings. No talking, people constantly getting up to go to...

Found a lone Mr. Burns and no one else at a Target last weekend. He was full price but I did see a few days later they were marked down at another store, but just had a bunch of Sick Homers. My nearest Target had Willie and Otto last night, full price. It is weird distribution. It beats...

As far as I know, unbearable collectors putting TRU workers under siege began with those damned Hot Wheels treasure hunts in the mid- to late-'90s, when I was working at Toys R Us. The HW collectors were a permanent fixture at my store. And the lengths some of those guys would go to ... We...

I know exactly that overwhelming sense you're experiencing. It's hard to know where to start with so much stuff. It helped me to focus by dumping one area of my collecting at a time. Mezco, for instance, I got it all ot it together (a smaller subset than say Marvel Legends, so easier to handle)...

Looks like a bunch more Law & Orders are up on Target eBay for $22.99.

No problem. I got another one — my nearest Target just dropped Heavy Duty to 50% off — $17.49. I assume it'll be happening at other stores this week or next.

Law & Order are back on the Target eBay store, $22.99, more than 10 available here.

If such things existed, I'd definitely be down for one. I'd have a hell of a time deciding if confronted with all the choices shown, though.

Tough choices. I really wish I could swing the all-in as I'm probably gonna end up with most of these when all's said and done but I ended up grabbing the two big boys — the crab and the walrus — since the 25% preorder savings is a bit more than the standard figures. I also couldn't stop myself...

He popped up on the Target eBay store this morning for 22.99, too. There was only 2 left when I saw it, so I didn't bother posting it. But it's not a bad idea to check in there a few times a day.

Was at the local Walmart this morning and made my usual cruise through the action figure aisle and noticed they had three or four each of the Desert Scorpion and Snake Eyes/Polar Bear sets locked up in in a plexiglass case at the end of the aisle they usually put the Pokemon stuff in. Not sure...

The latest Four Horsemen IG post indicates Dawn of Discovery standard figures are going to retail at $55. Standards have typically been $49.99. So it's probably a little better of a deal to preorder from Store Horsemen at $42. Of course, SH takes your money right away while BBTS doesn't collect...

Damn, your Target sounds awesome. The bombed-out store I was at today had a lone Outback Storm for $21 and change. They did have the Sentry/US Agent set for $25, though.

Sigh, so Classified's gonna get me with a bunch of Arctic repaints. Preternia just posted these - Arctic Steel Corp Trooper, Arctic SAW Viper and Drift Viper.

Thanks for posting that pic, Fletch. I was looking for something like this in the BBTS listing. And you're right about the gear, I'd trade the awkward snake for better adventure gear. I wonder if the second head is the first head in camo makeup to match the set of camo hands.

Yeah, that's strange not to have the extra head in there, particularly since they already have one on hand. The face paint application must be too cost prohibitive. Who knows? Throwing it in there might have cost us a Snipes head and no one wants that ... Thought all the reveals were great...

I was in Toronto today and had something I never thought possible — an Americano with orange juice. Surprisingly, it was not terrible. I actually kinda liked it.

Let's go! Adventure Team done Classified style would be amazing. A figure with some scene-specific accessories/animals and diorama pieces would be amazing. I'd even take this guy: And I'd definitely take this:

I was at an Ollie's on Friday and as far as I could see, it was mostly action feature figures. Like that endcap but without any actual MLs.

I've seen people banned from Hisstank for less ...

I got hit on the next movie — the damn comic book adaptation of Return of the Jedi came out a couple weeks before the film hit (or I got to see it, maybe. I wasn't there opening night or anything) and the damn kid who lived next door to me wasted no time in letting me know who was brother and...

I never go to Ross on the weekends, maybe that's my problem. I did stop by today (in search of LAATs now, too) and found $7.99 Black series Dr. Aphra and her evil R5 droid, who I've long wanted to pick up. So there's a win. Of course in true Ross fashion, it's never what I'm really looking for.
