No dice on the recorder.. and my nearby comic shop is price-gouging for single figures… The other place was $1 yelow, $2 blue, $3 red… PPF had the same stuff for $2 yellow, $3.50 blue, $5 red.
fark that noise… I’ll just have danny pick some up for me at the cheaper zone.
juliabee put me on to a nifty idea, too… making custom ones! I’ve got more army men than I know what to do with…the click bases don’t look too difficult to replicate.
Another fun thing.. I was in Eckerd’s, and back to school sales are going.. protractors, index cards… all sorts of cool school supplies. They still make trapper keepers! I remember waaaay back in the halcyon days of my youth when they were introduced. Before them…. oh, the humanity… a stack of duo-tang folders, a different color for each class, each course written on the cover neatly in black felt tip. If they didn’t have internal pockets, you were hosed, and possibly doomed to lose information.
I couldn’t resist. I bought a Duo-tang folder. Orange. With internal pockets. It cost me $0.23…I think it’ll be my new Recorder music book… 🙂 Now, I just have to pick up that recorder.
Talked to my sweetie… she’s going to work on her newest hobby for a few, so I’m going to go out and mill around some more. I may buy a new recorder while I’m out…and maybe a little pack of heroclix for a few buddies of mine… hee hee hee… got to spread the addiction.
We bugged out of the trek happening, quick like a bunny. It sucked pretty badly… there were a couple of stinkies there, but none really photo worthy, and the dealer room was poopy.
As a consolation prize, we went to a comic shop, and bought the Marvel Heroclix miniature combat game, then went to Dave & busters to play race car & pod racer, have lunch, and suss out the heroclix rules.
Very easy game, and quite a bit of fun. We got 8 random heroes in the box, and I bought a nice one for both me (Wasp) and Danny (Juggernaut), for about a buck apiece.
The ones that came in the box were Spider-man, Cyclops, Ultron, A skrull warrior, A hydra guy, Sabretooth, Bullseye, and the puppet Master.
I’d like to pick up the hulk, dr strange, captain america, scarlet witch (hee… her and wasp remind me of my sweetie), Jean Grey. and Prof X… I’m looking for the fantastic four, too.
They Need DC ones… I want the Doom Patrol, Batman, Green Lantern, Misc JSA and Batgirl to add to my collection, also!
Okie dokie… morning chores are done, with an hour to spare. That gives me time to put camera batteries in the charger, and play with Newtie!
Cool T-shirt seen today – “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”
