So one of my toy quests over the years has been Super Powers. When I was about 5 I saw the commerical that would get me into collecting action figures. I wanted them all after watching that commerical, God i wish i had tivo back…
So I think I hit my low point in my toy addiction. Target has these new price scanners that tell you if they have more stock in their back rooms. Now this is both a blessing and a curse for collectors. Target also has a…
Ok so I go to TRU and try to get the last of the figures... and I get my Spidy Icon left 1 there and 2 variants, but all the Beasts are gone except a broken one. I take it to the service desk and…
Have you ever walked by a toy you liked and said " hmmm? do i really need or want this?"? Well after a bit of a dry spell I walked in to Toys R Us and saw the new DCSH 12 inch Batman and Superman.…
In this little world of toy collecting we meet all kinds of people, some helpful some who hinder, and some who wonder. Some times we are lucky and meet those who share our addiction. Before the Internet most of us felt alone in our hunts…
Well it's Christmas time and that means toy aisle full. Now what they may be full of is not what we all want as collectors. Parents who have no clue what they are looking for and pegs full of the newest Marvel Legends or Justice…
So this all started with an idea of the hunt…. And it turned in to a place to vent. I guess my newest problem is what is too much and what I need. I talked about it in my last post but after the week…
At what point can we say no to the newest Marvel Legend? Or no to the new JLU 3 packs? We need to have these things, don’t we? We need to hunt and make our favorite battle occur on our shelves or desk, don’t we?…
The Crash Some would call what we do an addiction, the need to get more toys. We call it a hobby, something to do in our free time. I think it is a mix of the two. Think about the feeling you get when you…
Our community is a wonderful thing, especially when you have reliable friends working with you. A common goal is a great thing to have in a group of friends and when we all work together it’s a wonderful thing. As the great Hannibal used to…
Time and time again I have heard the question on all our boards: "Has the JLU surpassed Super Powers?", but I think it is more than that. That question, as a few have said, is like comparing apples and oranges. This seems like one of…
I heard on the boards today that ML 13 was found at the Wal-Mart in …… oh yeah I know a guy who got the new DC Super Heroes in Target in ….. When lines like that are posted on our boards, even if it's…
Why do we collect? What's the next big thing to hit? What figures do you want to see the most? Aren’t these all the questions we used to see being answered in columns and on these sites? And, "How often will this update?" is something…
In one of my last posts the question was to kick or not to kick myself about getting the DCSH 12 inch figures... well I got them for Christmas. And here is the Evil Cat who plans to take over the world...
Though I'm looking foward to HML I will miss the Toy Biz Boxes and so will Rory
When I walk in to store now a days for some reason I always have someone come up to me and ask me if I know where something is. I look at them confused and they say to me, “don’t you work here?” I look…
Remember the days when you thiought this could happen to you, this is what would happen if we got superpowers... lol
This is Rory and as you can see she always has to be part of what I'm doing... the first pic is from the great Walmart ML day and she went box diving!
