I got my Reaction Black hole figures. The cards look cool, but they were all bent up, but I was going to open them anyway. Bob looks like he could use a blackwash.  Like most reaction figures they'll make good diorama fodder figures.

I thought about getting those. They look really good. I like Max!

Today's score is my absolute FAVORITE in years!

I got a brand new (1.5 month old) kitten!

This is Arthur Jr., named after my beloved tuxedo cat that passed away last year at the ripe old age of 15.

Aaaawww...he's too cute! I agree, that a better than great "score." I've got a long-hair calico who acts like a dog, she's 17 and I'm not looking forward to the day she passes. Cats are great.

Very nice Dan. I saw your pictures of him asleep with your dinos yesterday. Good stuff.

Today's thrift shop scores!

The farmers market playset is almost perfectly 1/18 scale and was only $1.99!

The "Star Wars" Dewback was in great condition missing only the reigns, it was only $2.99.

The dinos and knock-off Chap Mei "Dino Valley" dino trap were in a bag with a bunch of other small toys for $4.99. The dino trap alone was worth the purchase!

Today's thrift store and Walmart scores!

The dragons and Godzilla were in a bag together for $6.50. The green dragon is a Plastoy model, which are very rare in the US. The red one isn't great, it is kind of chunky, and I am debating keeping it.

The electronic Scorpios Rex was $5.50, and like the bagged dragons/Godzilla, were from Once Upon A Child.

The feathered Atrociraptors are $1.97 each at Walmart.

Wednesday Mail Call!

The first of 3 Amazon deliveries arrived!

This is one of the only small dinos from the 2023 "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" line that I wanted this year.

After work thrift store score!

This entire bag of "Hex Bugs: Space" sets was $3.99!

These pieces are great for diorama fodder!

Today was an AMAZING day at the thrift store!

The dinosaurs and Godzilla were $57 in total, but worth WAY more than that (the "Godzilla: Earth" figure alone is worth about as much as I paid for all of them!).

Today's Target clearance ("Masters Of The Universe") and Walmart ("Fortnite") scores!

Two-Bad was $9.89, marked down from $32.99! He will be a huge Troll for my fantasy figures.

The Mothmando was $10.87. I may swap out his hands and feet for more insectile ones before putting him in my Cantina display as another drunk alien patron.

Tuesday Mail Call (dino) and after work thrift shop (mech) scores!

The 2nd of 3 Amazon "Jurassic World: Dino Trackers" orders arrived! The Elasmosaurus is my most wanted toy from the line this year so I am very happy to have it in hand!

The pink "Overwatch" mech is a Funko "Pop!" Missing the tiny pilot. Apparently this thing is pretty expensive on the secondary market and I scored it for $1.99! I plan on customizing it into an ED-209-style droid.

Today's after work thrift store score!

All 4 of these items only came to $6.28!

The Safari Ltd. lobster will most likely get harvested for parts for future insectoid projects.

The "Massive Monster Mayhem" robot will get disassembled to remove the plastic foodstuff items inside the dome (it has an action feature where a different item will magnetically attach to the support inside the rear of the dome when you shake it) and will either get a disembodied brain inside the dome or the dome will get replaced with an astromech droid dome. Either way, it will get modified and repainted.
