Toy'sR'Us, Children's Palace, and ToyChest. Man those were great days when you had three huge stores dedicated just to toys.

Plus the malls had KB Toys and one other toy store (don't remember the name).

And if you couldn't find a comic store, Waldenbooks and B. Dalton at the mall had spinner racks with Joe comics...

I checked for Moss Man and he was gone. But Scrap Iron is everywhere now!


Also, should this Hopper figure stand in for Chuckles, Thomas Magnum, or himself?

Also saw TF Dusty on a weird endcap, but no Python Guards.

There was this 2 pack for the SW fans...

I'm going to wait on Dusty. My Target hardly has anything ever and they had 2 Shipwrecks, 2 Scrap-Iron figures.....and 8 TF Dusty. 8!!

It is possible to miss out on a figure, but I imagine he will linger and we'll find him either at 17.49 or 12.49 within a month or so.

But no Python Guards in sight!!

I got notified that Pulse is shipping my long awaited retro Snake-Eyes and retro CG.

Although seen regularly by Major Wolf, they are super scarce in the Midwest.

Good toys are scarce in the Midwest and I can confirm that.

Word on the street is Pulse is shipping the Valkaries on August 28th now, way earlier than expected.

My retro Crimson Guard arrived today and is melting on my front step.

FedEx ignored my request to hold them in the air conditioned Walgreens to pick up on the way home from work. Ah well, hope it's all right. Retro Snake-Eyes is supposed to be in the next few days but he'll probably do the same thing. Not sure why they didn't ship together...?

I suppose complaining about TOO many figures arriving is a first world problem.

Oh, man. Everyone has been raving how Walmart has been carefully delivering their packages.

Look at this box from Pulse!?! Looks like Adam Vinitieri used it to practice field goal kicking.... :-(
