Yep, I worked this weekend. I had hoped to get one more post in before the end of July but it just wasn’t meant to be. Wednesday, I’m off, and I plan on hunting for some new Transformers, so either way I’ll be back with something, old or new. I’m probably going to start running through all the Transformers Classics and Universe 2.0 figures in anticipation of the release of the Generation figures.
As expected, I got shut out on Matty’s SDCC stuff. Well, I really only wanted two items. Orko went fast, as expected, while I was in a flippin’ staff meeting at work. The Retro Peter Venkman is still available, but I’m opting to get the whole set in one shot through another e-tailer.
I did manage to secure me a Blaster figure from Hasbro’s site, although it won’t be shipping until next week. But seeing as that was the one SDCC item I wanted the most, I’m cool with that.
Lastly, the new Doctor Who stuff is being released fast and furious. Today I ordered up a couple of the Series 5 figures, Amy Pond and the Ironside Dalek, as well as the SDCC Planet of Fire set with the 5th Doc and The Master. I would have probably ordered more of the Series 5 figures, but at nearly $20 a pop, that’s just too much for any figure that isn’t a must have and Amy and the Dalek are the only two figures in that assortment that I can’t live without. No doubt, the others will be deeply discounted eventually.
That’s all for now, I’m off to have a couple of Scotches and turn in early. Catch ya’ll in a couple of days.
