Out my way . . . .

Here we have last month's MOTU classics figure FAKER! I missed getting him on mattycollector.com so I had to get him on ebay (darn scalping toy sellers!!) This is a great looking figure and the first Faker I have ever owned, I never had the original and I missed the Toyfare exclusive 2002 collection figure so I had to get this one and he is great! The title of the post refers to a recent episode of Robot Chicken that has a Faker sketch that is one of the best of all time!!!!

551 and counting. . . . .

So from a reference from my minimate forum I found a great comic book store website zeuscomics.com where I found a smoking deal on some minimates I didn't have (they had great deals on all their minimates but I only bought the ones I didn't have) they were all 50% off and I also got some comics 50% off and shipping was reasonable and it shipped on Saturday and got here today (Monday) so the shipping was super speedy. Here we have the Season 1 2 pack for 24. This set includes Jack Bauer and Andre Drazen.

Then here we have the Battle Damaged Spirit and the Formal Wear Sand Saref (I haven't seen this movie yet but will be seeing it this week but this set was such a great deal it was not to be passed up). This brings my minimates total to 551 and with a whole slew of new normal releases coming up and a massive amount of SDCC exclusives being announced in the last little bit this really be, as it is being called, the year of the minimate!!!

Let's get ready to rumble!

I had told myself that I was done buying Robot Heroes but when I saw this pack on sale and it has Rumble who is one of Soundwave's tapes I just had to get it. So here we have Rumble and Arcee (the one female transformer).

Then I also found this wave two Indiana Jones Mighty Muggs of the Monkey Man on clearance for 2.48$ so I had to snag him up. He is the only Mugg from wave two IJ that I have seen and he has the little monkey so hey swee deal!

Legos on clearance can't be passed up.

Today is Breanne and mine's 7th wedding anniversary and on friday we went out to a movie and then to Olive Garden for dinner and since the wait for a table was like an hour we walked over to Shopko for a bit. I was on the clearance aisle and found this Lego City set the Coast Guard rescue helicopter set which is normally 40$ on clearance for 23$ which is a great deal for a lego set so I had to snag it up, of course it is a cool set too so I didn't just buy it because it was cheap I bought it because it was cool. So Xander and I put this together this morning.

Unification

Here we have Spock from the TNG episod Unification. This minimate was exclusive to this year's Toy Fair '09. I tried getting him on ebay but got outbid so thankfully I had a member on my minimate forum minijeff who traded me for this one so it was great to have him show up in the mail today from Canada. This is a great little exclusive. They have also started to announce the exclusive SDCC sets so I will be posting pictures of those when they become available!

TRU EXC UJ/WM

Well I was so excited that my TRU got the next exclusive minimate set since the last one (stealth IM) I had to buy online! So here we have Union Jack and Wonder Man, both are characters that I am unfamiliar with but they are minimates and thus they must be mine. TRU had some other new minimates but the way they released them makes it pointless to buy them at TRU since I am already getting them and more online when they get released in the next two weeks or so so stay tuned!
