That's Three Hawks!

And one quick trip closer to the mental institute.


Hawk Hawk Hawk. I told you I had to invest in a few General Hawks because of the constant wear and tear he will go through in being the number one GI Joe Cobra will pick on. Well now I am insured, at least until the 30th anniversary of GI Joe a Real American hero collection comes out.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't buy dozens of the same figures or vehicles, like others that I have seen reports on lately. Why anyone would need over 10 Cobra Rattlers is ridiculous. Maybe five HISS tanks, but not ten Rattlers! Troop building is okay, and Hasbro needs to do a better job of suppling us with troop packs (especially B.A.T.s) That's my rant for now on that. ANYHOW...


So with that, old Hawk transfers the burden of power to the new Hawk.

Decorating Tip of the week

Whatever you do, never place Dreadnoks near fake fine crystal. Dreadnok's devalue anything near or around them!

And it's highly possible that when your back is turned, the fine crystal will either be stolen, or smashed onto the floor.

Message from Optimal Optimus!

I don't know why this burns Optimal so much, isn't he himself a copy of Optimus Prime in a partial way?

Thats right! It's that time of year when Big Lots gets all their Christmas toys in! And what better way to bring cheer, then bootleg pirated toys! They had some doozies again this year. Returning was a TransMetal Dragon Megatron, dark blue and red like original. He was missing many of the quality joints that Hasbro had, but was the same size and everything. New this year was Optimal Optimus (not pictured). They are cheaper plastic for sure.

Also They had this giant combiner robot with Transformer Cybertron mini Starscream for legs and mini Vector Prime for arms. Almost had to buy that to make fun of, but I'm trying to lean up my collection from unnecessary crap.

And finally they had some strange giant Unicorn Centaur Transformer Megazord or something. If it wasn't 14.99, I would have surely bought that to make fun of. Not sure what the hell it was from, but very ugly and stupid looking.

So if you want weird knock off toys, nows your chance at Big Lots!

500th Post Spectacle!

Thats right 500 posts! You can clearly see my photography skills jumping from the page. This is also my three year and one week anniversary of blogging fine toys! Not many people said I could do it. They said I was too 'silly' and 'need to grow up' and 'move out of the basement.' But I showed YOU all!

Now lets see, it seems that I have slowed down a bit in the blogging. The first 100 posts were done in about four months, 200 posts in 6 months, and even more for the next major post events. This means expect the 1000 post spectacular some time in 2056! Be there!

So what is the deal with this picture? I will let you decide that!

Another Toy Trek

View Larger Map

Well I had to drive from Boise to Nampa to get my Target Exclusive GI Joe Jets, ending an exhausting month long search. Thats a 25 minute drive each way (okay 45 minute each way, I drive like a Grandpa). I am so glad I don't have to go to Target ever again. Unless of course I want to get more.

Here they are the GI Joe Conquest and the Cobra Rattler!


And this is what they look like on my couch...


And here is what the back of the box looks like...

And I wonder why he bites me on the nose...

McDonalds Batman Legos!

Picked these up today. It wasn't embarrassing at all, when there was no line at first and I ordered them. It wasn't embarrassing when after I ordered them, the line got huge. It wasn't embarrassing while the girl was digging through the big box trying to find each separate kind, wasting time to help others. It wasn't embarrassing when the whole line of people started backing up behind me waiting for their food. It wasn't embarrassing asking for a large bag to hold all these. It wasn't embarrassing when the bag broke spilling Legos all over the place, causing every one to trip and fall and throw food everywhere. Well that last one didn't happen, but I would imagine that would be embarrassing.
