Not yet, my wife and I are planning on catching a matinee on Sunday weather permitting.

I hit up the Disney Store after work and scored the new Marvel Select Groot (comic version) and a Disney Store exclusive wind up Baby Groot.



Baby Groot has 9POA (better than most Hasbro products LOL). I plan on removing the wind up feature (which doesn't work well anyway) and repainting it.




I also got some super scores tonight at Toys R Us and Kohl's!



The "Game Of Thrones" Wall playsets were price matched at TRU to Amazon's $14.91 price. I also had a $5 R Rewards and a $4.97 store credit left over so I got 2 playsets for less than the price of 1 at the $24.99 TRU already had them marked down to!

At Kohl's, I picked up their exclusive "Rogue One" 4pk for $5.33 including tax thanks to a $10 Kohl's Cash certificate my wife got in the mail.

Thanks!

I plan on writing a short article on stretching your action figure budget in the near future to help everyone out :)

My wife bought me this awesome chrome biohazard symbol for my car (my car is covered with biohazard and anti-zombie decorations). Now I need to find a great, flat area on the car to apply it.

As most of you know, I tend to think outside of the box when it comes to my hobby. I often go beyond the usual action figure lines looking for inspiration and potential fodder.

Today at K-Mart I found this set of faux stone borders in their garden section.





In each box you get 8 wall sections, one "male" endcap, one "female" endcap and an assortment of long and short stakes to fasten them into your lawn.


1 wall piece with female endcap (front left), male endcap (front right) (stakes not pictured).


Male and female endcaps attached to a wall piece.

The wall pieces look great next to 3.75"/4" figures and can be used to make not just walls but square structures as well.


4 sided "fort" (you can make 2 of these with the box's contents).


4 sided "fort" with a 3.75" Boss Fight Studio Ultimate Spartan for scale.

In the pictures, you will see that I also have some great faux stone stepping stones that make great capstones or even bases for the square structures.


4 sided "fort" with capstone and 3.75" Ultimate Spartan for scale.


4 sided "fort" with stone base and 3.75" figure for scale.

This set was only $24 and well worth it. You will need to trim off flash along all of the edges, fill the round openings for the stakes and do a repaint for total realism, but any project requires some manual labor.

I had a great haul day today!


My Safari Ltd. Scores from Michaels and A.C.Moore thanks to 55% + 60% off coupons!




I hit the fairy village fantasy diorama fodder motherload today between A.C.Moore, Michaels and Tuesday Morning!









Everything but the chairs on the green cards from Tuesday Morning were 50% off. Some of the bagged/carded items from A.C.Moore are damaged but they are an easy fix with Krazy Glue and I got them for an additional 50% off (except for the gazing ball with the busted column which was marked down to $1!).

Nice Dan. Let me go share that too. You are showing us all how to get great stuff for not a lot of coin.
