I have become a fanatic with collecting Funko Pops and have made some good sales off them. Always trying to find them cheap. As part of TFAW.com’s progressive sale, they have many Pop’s for as low as $4.39. These make great gifts for Pop culture fans and could be a good flip potential. Now I know not everyone is into this, but they have become increasingly popular. Here is the list: Continue reading “Funko Pops as cheap as $4.39 TFAW”

The 59th edition of the open forum!
This week, Poyo can relax since everyone wants to eat turkey instead of chickens. All those poor turkey’s.. this weeks picks are in honor of their sacrifice of filling our bellies.
Also, Poyo would like to remind everyone that Thanksgiving isn’t about those damn Pilgrims coming to America, learning how to grow food and get along with the natives, it’s about having the damn day off, which everyone should enjoy. So if you can, do not give into the hype of having to go shop at Wally World on Thanksgiving evening, let those greedy corporations know that their employees should have the day off just as much as anyone else. So be kind and instead wake up at 3am on Friday morning to go stand out in front of a store to save a few bucks you crazy crazy people.. I’ll be sleeping in on Friday since I already got most of my shopping done weeks ago.

451 Media caught up with best-selling writer George Pelecanos (The Wire, The Pacific, Treme) to give you a behind the scenes sneak peek of his graphic novel debut, SIX.
SIX is a searing tale of warfare at its worst and fighting soldiers at their best. When the wife of a former Marine buddy finds herself a target of a vicious Mexican cartel, she ends up turning to her husband’s old squad for help. Pelecanos is collaborating with Hollywood director Michael Bay’s 451 Media, which blends published content with digital video by using a technologically advanced ink in the printing process that accesses content via an app when a smart device is “touched” to it.
