A combination of recent preorders and Amazon orders arriving.

That Lightyear drill is no joke for the $20 Amazon price. Lots of play value. It is being operated by Obiwan’s NED-B, the inly Retro Star Wars figure I own.

Disney Halloween droid set along with the extending B2EMO from Shop Disney.

World’s Smallest Monopoly and Scrabble because that is exactly what you want to play when you have Polish sausage fingers.

And Mandalorian’s Mayfield because Bill Burr and Target cancelled my preorder and I found it cheaper somewhere else. "LASER BLAST" YOU TARGET!

Today's Dollar Tree haul!

The pumpkin teeth glow in the dark and the curved ones are very reminiscent of the spikes on Snake Mountain from the "Masters Of The Universe".

I found another variant of the plastic pegboards, this one is basically a giant square the size of 4 of the small squares.

Thanks for the Buzz Drill pic. I was speculating in another thread that it might work well with "bigger" 1/18th figs like MTF or BFS.

It has handles that the droid figure are holding, but it also has hand control sticks that I essenitally set up as a lap bar because that 5 PoA figure can't reach out to the side to hold them.

Got my Gargoyles Bronx fig from BBTS today - had no idea that it came with Goliath's folded wings as an accessory.

Which is perfect, since these were the only two I planned to get anyway.

Bronx and Demona are in my Pile O' Loot. I think the biggest complaint I saw when Goliath was announced was the lack of folded wings. So when they solicited Bronx they added the wings "since Bronx is a smaller figure" or something. I'm sure they'll put out a folded wing pack or something once all the main Gargoyles are released. I certainly hope so because I'm planning to get them all and don't have that much shelf space.

In more On Topic news, I received a couple Marauder orders this past week. A couple of their Geared-Up figures and some parts to make a new custom group.

Okay Spectre, how many pieces is that dino in and how heavy is that box?

It is surprisingly light as it is mostly hollow, just like all of the huge dinos in the series. It comes in a box slightly bigger than the previously released Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus. The dino comes in 4 pieces- body (legs and base of neck attached), 2 piece tail (last 9" or so is a separate piece with a pop in swivel joint) and neck/head.

The legs are swivel hips, lower neck is up/down hinge, upper neck is ball jointed (shallow lateral and up/down movement but it works with the scientifically accepted range of motion of the real animal), jaw is hinged, base of tail is ball jointed and the last segment of the tail is a swivel.

That's decent articulation. Knees would have been nice but I guess aren't necessary for kids play patterns. I am surprised that it doesn't come in more pieces considering the box size. Probably one of those things you'll never get back in the box the same way after opening it.

I saw the reAction Shipwreck. I’m not too interested in the line, but some of the oddball ones (Snake Eyes in the pyramid of darkness outfit) are starting to tug on my nostalgia strings.

I’m not a huge Shipwreck fan but I’m probably going to go back and grab him and that Snake Eyes.

It is a one time only assembly, just like all of the larger Jurassic World dinos.

Animla Warriors of the Kingdom is having a huge clearance sale. So I grabbed a couple of the Deluxe figures I'd been eyeing, putting in the cart, seeing how much everything would be with shipping, then removing everything from the cart. These are great figures, especially if you're looking for larger hairy characters. Those alt heads and feet make a wolrd of difference. Armor and weapons scale to 6" figures too.

I also spotted the new 2.5" Fortnite Battle Royale figures and grabbed the pug which might actually be 1/18 for an anamorphic dog character.
