That's gotta be some kind of SDCC Special Edition packaging...

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: A Game of Thrones (HBO)
« on: June 8, 2015, 09:15 AM »
#$%^&* Stannis! "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"
Not a great episode for kids, that's for sure.
Between barbecuing Shireen and Meryn Trant getting his freak on with that poor tween, the gross-out factor was running pretty high. Blecchh.
I would just as soon not see any more stuff happen with kids this season. I'm looking at you, Ollie.
I see now why Brienne had so much time to film the new Star Wars this season. Hope she gets some more screen time in the finale.
The stuff in Mereen was pretty interesting. Why did the Sons of the Harpy stab her fiance though? I thought the clear implication was that he was their leader? (Hence the late arrival) And what's up with Jorah touching Dany? Is she going to get greyscale now too? Or is she immune somehow?
Drogon going off at the end kicked ass, but I was actually hoping for even more carnage. Was surprised that those spears would penetrate his scaly armor like that. He would really come in handy fighting the Army of the Undead up north though.
Happy endings for all next week!

Picked up about 8 Bilbos on clearance at Rose's today for $2 a pop. Looking forward to customizing a few more Hobbits...

I picked up 3 more Wolffes at Target last night, but no sign of any more Dooms.

Was just reading last night about how the band Mastodon were cast as Wildling extras in Sunday's episode. Saw a cool shot of them posing with John and Ed. Just another reason to love this show!

I realize there are a lot of things people like about this show...the character development, the plot twists, the deft use of nuance and misdirection, but for me it just doesn't get any better than the last 20 minutes of last night's episode.
Giants fighting zombies?!? Please and thank you!
That was frigging excellent. John and the Thenn fighting side by side, white walkers with armor, army of the undead, Valyrian steel FTW...just great stuff all around. That was way more intense than a WD style walker attack...those things could really move!
The only other thing I even remember from the episode was Tyrion and Daenerys' chat, which was also all kinds of awesome but for different reasons.
Oh, and Arya got a stylin' new haircut.

I saw the Taxi Driver figure at TRU yesterday. Of all their properties, I just don't get this one. Just doesn't seem worth the effort for one figure.

Nice score. Did you happen to notice if the DPCI is different from the Jabba/Scout Troopers?
It is the same - mine rang up today for $24.99. (Found over lunch at Target)

Realize I am probably the only one who cares, but I found Series 2 of the Building Set figures today at Gamestop. There are 8 total in this wave, two humans (Rick and Tyreese) and a bunch of cool zombies, including Merle. Hopefully this means the slew of cool new Building Sets they showed off at Toy Fair will be arriving soon.

« on: May 22, 2015, 02:19 PM »
Capping an unbelievably lucky series of lunch hour toy runs, I found a fresh case of the new Black Series guys at TRU today. I grabbed both Rexes, both Wolffes, and the lone Doom. Definitely going to need another Doom to open, I love the vivid color scheme, hokey or not.
Best part was they all rang up for $9.99 each still...power to the people!

Hot damn, found a full fresh case of the new Emperor wave at Target over lunch today. 
It was hard to comprehend seeing new stuff on the pegs for a second, but I did not hesitate to snatch them up. Very thankful not to have to deal with that split case nonsense too. One fell swoop and no army builders in this wave.
Happy hunting to all~

Picked up a Bespin Han at Target for $1.94 cause why not, eh?
Doesn't quite beat the $1.00 Clone Wars figures I found at one point on a Walmart clearance aisle, but it's pretty good.
