I picked up these Geoworld "Ice Age Excavation Kit" sets last night at TJMaxx! My wife and I were so tired when we got home last night that I did not photograph or open them (these pics were taken in the store).

These were a pretty cool surprise as you almost never see ice age creatures represented in sets like these, it is almost always dinosaurs. Ice age creatures are very unique looking and should get more exposure as they are just as interesting as the dinosaurs are. To the best of my knowledge, I have never had one of these excavation kits. I don't recall them being a thing when I was a kid. I am debating doing it the way it was intended to be done with the hammer and chisel or using science and just dissolving the "stone" (compressed sand) in water to free the parts.

Look for a full review later today.

I picked up these "Kid Galaxy" branded Lontic/Tedco static dinosaur sets last night at TJMaxx! My wife and I were so tired when we got home last night that I did not photograph or open them (these pics were taken in the store).

There is an interesting mix of species in these sets, including some species not represented (yet) as larger articulated figures from the same manufacturer. Any of the species in these sets that are also represented as larger jointed figures have matching paint apps to their articulated counterparts so they can be juveniles of the same species.

Look for a full review later today.

I love your passion for he toys Dan. It’s like mine but larger.
The news about TRU must be a crusher for you like it is for me.

Not a good pic, I got this Super Seven Reaction figure in the mail the other day to hang in my Iron Maiden themed bathroom.

I noticed that here lately, my stores have stopped carrying these Reaction figures.
