I have returned!

Been a long time since I was here!

@danlarson.bsky.social I have been tuning into your Star Wars POTF series and it’s outstanding. It’s also awakened some crazy and fun memories (including crime-y ones) that I haven’t thought of it 20+ years. Love it!

Well, my 3 foot tall Star Wars Ghost HasLab just arrived. It’s huge!!!

Standards Manual knocked it out of the park with the modern reprint of the DC Comics Style Guide!

Always wanted a copy of this for my collection! Much recommended for any DC fan. Beautiful art by José Luis Garcia-Lopez and incredible attention to detail in the quality of the book.

Really enjoyed The Game Awards this year! Some great reveals, acknowledgement of some of the past criticism for the past, and of course a wonderful celebration of the year of games.

Watching it from the east coast though, the three hour runtime got painful toward the end.

Optic blast!

22 lbs of BigBadToyStore stuff just got delivered.

A SNKRS W is a very nice way to start a Friday!

That said, this show, like all of the other Star Wars (and Marvel shows for that matter) does suffer from how short the episodes are. Wish these were meatier.

The Mondo ThunderCats Lion-O is the real deal! WOW!

Shockingly so! Has to be Snarf!

Looking forward to unboxing the Mondo 1/6 scale Lion-O from ThunderCats! The packaging is exquisite!

Yes, 100% agree!

I had high hopes for Skeleton Crew and after the first two episodes I am loving it so far! Can’t wait for more!

Without fail, I wear bright red shirts when I go to Target and blue shirts when I go to Best Buy. Every time.

It's wild! I am so happy "going to the movies" is back, but I hope the experience can be elevated back to where it was before the decline.

Conclave was so good btw!

Looking forward to cracking the McFarlane Batman Beyond Batmobile open!

Manners definitely seem to be at a new low but it almost seemed like the theaters were also not prepared for the Wicked/Moana/Gladiator triple threat!

Have anyone else’s movie theater experiences the last few days been worse than usual?

Went twice earlier this week and both times (different theaters) were out of stock of most snacks, drink syrups were limited, and a mess in terms of cleanliness.

I genuinely miss seeing that. I would not be participating but it was a vibe!

Finally getting around to opening the magnificent Hot Toys Return of the Jedi Darth Vader.

Black Friday just doesn't hit like it used to.

Thank you.

I think I have to raise my “retail price” purchase threshold even further to literally only be things I have to have no matter what. I have let a few things like that Ghost Rider slip in and here we are.

I absolutely loved Wicked!!!

All I see is this beauty.

So is the PS5 disc drive essentially unobtainable at the moment?

Well, hello there.
