Force Friday Star Wars Toys Starting to be loaded on the shelves

Tyson B. from our brother site www.toyboxone.com (calling it a sister site just seems weird) is already out and about hunting for Star Wars toys. He is having luck seeing them “get ready” but not finding anyone who will break the “not before midnight” arrangement. Here is what he is seeing so far.

Marvel Collectors Corp August Unboxing

Thanks to Comicsheatingup.net‘s own Louie M. and Toyboxone.com’s Tyson B. for the Marvel Collector’s Corp unboxing information.

Secret Wars August Box

Despite several past disappointments from Loot Crate and others, I remain a sucker for nerdy mystery boxes. Guess it’s the fun of getting that unknown box in the mail plus it’s fun to divvy up the goods with your kids. Marvel’s marketing focused on being “100% exclusive” and “no fluff”. I went all in with the Founder’s subscription of 6 boxes over 1 year which includes an exclusive bonus anniversary figure that Funko promises to be epic.

Remember the 80’s?!

We all know that what old is cool again and if it aint retro is sucks. Well the toy market seems to follow suit. Not going back but seems like everything this week was GI Joe or Transformers. And looking at the summer box office one wouldn’t be far off. (Movies are currently early 90’s). Plus it was a light week with everyone celebrating the Independence of this great nation. So let me quit rambling and get on with it. Continue reading “Think Outside the Toybox: It’s the 80’s all over again”

I took a much-needed vacation last week so forgive me for playing catch up. Before we get serious a quick side note. So we had Bush and Clinton running for the White House, Jurassic World is #1 in theaters and Terminator is out next month. You would think it’s 1992 all over again. There is only one thing missing, Furbys! (Yes, I know they are ’98) That’s right; Furbys are back and in demand just like back in the day. Now add the Internet and they are all kinds of creepy. I didn’t take everyone serious last July when people were telling me to stock up for Holidays. I have kids of my own and we aren’t going to make that mistake twice.
