Picked up this new set from Gamestop. I finally got the modern 8-Bit Mario I've been after. I have the other figures, but I'll take them to work to put on my desk. I finally got my own not too long ago.

I found these awesome little totes in the stationary section of Wal-Mart tonight!



They were only $0.88 each!



I plan on repainting them either grey or a dark metallic silver and using them for cargo crates in dioramas.



I also stopped at Michaels on the way to drop my nieces back home and scored these awesome Safari Ltd. pieces with 50% off coupons.

They are suitably "alien" for my needs :)

Picked up 2 Nomar Garciaparra figures by McFarlane. He was a favorite player of mine growing up for the Red Sox. I got them both for $10 after shipping. I got one for a buddy of mine who is moving to LA right after Christmas. Kind of a small going away gift. We both loved him as kids so I hope he sees the sentimental value behind it like I do.

Tonight's Toys R Us scores!



Thanks to the gift cards I earned last month and a ton of R Rewards, I barely spent any money out of my own pocket!

I now have all of the Animal Planet sets I wanted save for the Bigfoot one, which I will get with my next batch of R Rewards later this month.

I am going to enjoy opening all of these this weekend :)

I could so see that Bigfoot One used to make an Endor Bunker Dio. Good stuff Dan.

Last night, while looking for additional decorations at a local "dollar store" my wife and I chanced upon these packs of undersea diorama pieces. It is unusual enough to find packs of nothing but dio parts, let alone from a "dollar store", so I grabbed all 6 packs that they had.



The large coral comes in 2 different colors (milky pink and solid green) and are the best pieces in the sets. The smaller orange coral pieces are also desirable. The various green plants are useful to different degrees but the rocks are hollow blow molded crap that went straight into the trash.

Large coral color variants:


with a 3.75" figure for scale:


Not a bad dio fodder score and the large coral pieces alone were worth the $1.29/pack price.

You always sniff our great finds at cheap prices Dan. I can see you cooking up something good with this.
