Latest toys score I'd guess would have to be this one:
All though I do have quite a few toys incoming. Did a little toy-shopping spree hah![]()
Check out my blog about toys and food: http://toysandbacon.blogspot.com/
The newest wave of Monster High, Spectra, Clawd/Draculaura two-pack, and the new versions of Cleo, Clawdeen and Frankie. Still on the look out for Abbey.
I got my Marvel Masterworks Sentinel yesterday:
I got my Hercules Exgraver as well and promptly decorated him with Decepticon stickers:
I got my light-up Destroyer but mine had Inferno Marvel's Destroyer and instead of being gray, he was black...
And finally I got the Fantastic Four boxed set...mainly for H.E.R.B.I.E. Yes, I'm lame I know. But if I remember correctly, this is the first Invisible Woman in the MU line. Unfortunately it's in the crappy new FF uniform. So if I want a "complete" FF line-up, I got to keep these figures and just place the flaming Human Torch with them. But I really don't like this FF look. The decisions I must make!

Bought some of these blind packed Lego Minifigures - Series 4. I got the football/soccer player (cool!), 2 sailors (meh), a wolfman (neat!), and a punk rocker (awesome!).

Thankfully I never read any of this so I have no idea.

Well, if you feel like work, you can feel up the packages to make sure you get what you want. Whenever my wife and I find a new wave we usually end up standing there for awhile, feeling the packages and just getting the few that we want. There's also some obscure way to figure out what's in them by these bumps (nearly invisible...) on the back, but I've never been successful at it. Heck, it almost turns into a party sometimes 'cause other people wana look too, so we all start feeling packages and handing them around as we find what each of us wants. Some kids wander by, ask what we're all doing, we tell 'em, and they're like "Oh, can you find this one?" Already did! Then you hand 'em the spoils and everyone is happy!
You know, unless you find only one box with a couple in it. Then you try to do it when no one else is around...

I hit the freakin' jackpot today!
I got nearly the entire 4" ThunderCat collection in one fell swoop!
I happen to work early morning part-time at the store where they were at. On my break I was checking out the toy pallets that they were hoarding in penskie for Christmas season (yep...so we'll be selling toys which everyone got three-four months ago). Yesterday, I got Batman Legacy Wave 2, and I totally forgot about ThunderCats until I checked for them this morning and they had them!
A case has:
Lion-O x3
Mumm-Ra x3
Tygra x2
Panthro x1
Cheetara x1
Wilykit x1
Wilykat x1
I snagged one of each and a Thundertank. Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykit and Kat are one to a case, so you'll have to be early to get them, unless your store ordered multiple cases.
I did grab a 6" Mumm-Ra, but he's too big. Lion-O's head come up to the top of his belt. I guess it works if you like Mumm-Ra enormous.
I totally forgot about the deluxe figures like Grune and Mumm-Ra, so when I return 6" Mumm-Ra, I'll check to see if they have the other two!

I got a bunch of Funko Pop heroes. I already had all the DC ones, but I got some Marvel ones yesterday, Cap, Iron Man, Spidey, Wolverine and Hulk. Red Skull and The Thing are on the back, but they didn't have those. These are bobbleheads, whereas the old ones I have are not. I also got a plush Pop Heroes Joker. I was tempted by the Star Wars Pop Heroes, mainly Chewie and Yoda, but was strong enough to resist.
Found it! I friggin' love it. It's much easier to pose than the build-a-figure version from awhile back, though I haven't felt like diggin' the old sucker out to compare them. What I ended up loving more than I thought I would is the talkin' button! The phrases are all cool, and he even does the 'ol classic "HALT, MUTANT" from the 90's toon (or from the comic; heck I don't know. I remember the toon the best, and the spoken line is very clear in my head). Also, I think it's great that, even though his eyes light up, they're still painted with detail so they look fine when they're not glowing. Overall a very well done giant figure, and well worth the cash! The HEFT of that thing really makes it feel like you're getting your moneys worth!

I just got my SDCC Sentinel and everything about it is huge! When I saw the box it was delivered in I thought, "Did I order 2 Sentinels?". The packaging, the card it was on and the figure itself...the best of all worlds. Not that I'm not happy with my Marvel Masterworks version, but this is the quintessential Sentinel robot. I should have ordered 2 of them. "Rocket Punch!"

I ordered the ThunderCats Classic Lion-O and Tygra figures from Toys R Us, they should be arriving on the 9th!!

Yeah, if they weren't so expensive I'd seriously consider a second one! I finally dug out my Marvel Legends build-a-figure version, and while they are both the same size in terms of height, the new one is just....well, HUGE! He's wider on all counts, and the BAF one just looks like a junky prototype compared to him!
I suppose I feel a little twinge at missing the classic colored one (though I did have time to get it, as opposed to the other stuff on Hasbro's site). I'm pretty dang happy with the new style colors, though!

I'm a "rip open and chuck the packaging" guy, but that giant blister card is awesome. If I collected the line, I'd absolutely buy one to hang on the wall.
Scored a DC Artemis, she is pretty cool. Price was high, 24.99 at TRU but she is cool....
Cool, Rocket-P. I first gained a fondness for the Sentinel in X-Men: Children of the Atom fighting game. I'm still looking for the perfect port of that game for the Dreamcast and/or PS2.
No, Alexxia! You need the classic colors Sentinel! Otherwise you're gonna be the laughing stock of all the kids on the block. By "kids" I mean adult male internet geeks and by "the block" I mean He-Man.org.
But I really should have bought 2 of these Sentinels. That way the Marvel Masterworks Sentinel could have been a Master Mold-type and the 2 SDCC Sentinels could be his support squad.
Yeah, I'm an ripper opener myself but this Sentinel version is really giving me a quandary. The blister card packaging is really making it hard for me to open it.
