Cool deal. And congrats on the new job. I hope you are liking it.

Thanks!

It is very physical and will take some getting used to, but I am up to the challenge :)

Fodder hunters keep a look out at your local Wal-mart. They are clearancing out many KID CONNECTION sets. But the one that caught my eyes was the Figure 5-pack are $2.50 worth it alone for the accessories (6" BS etc.) but the figures are actually decently detailed a bit of kit bash and painting it you could have some cool stuff.

For all of the back breaking hard work I am doing at my new job, I decided to treat myself to some stuff today :)

The "Kid Connection" construction set has a ton of great parts and pieces in it that I can use for future projects. The 2 smaller "Kid Connection" sets were bought for the animals, the rest will go in my Swap Shop.

The "Jurassic World" Indoraptor is bigger than the previously released one.

The Terra octopus is a sweet little transparent figurine that I have never seen before.

Got my first gi joe figures at Michigan comic con on sunday. I already have started customizing them, and the ball jointed hips are so much better and easier to use than the ones hasbro has been using on star wars figures.



I also got a bunch of vehicles and figures locally... I got everything below for $5!

 I found an almost empty box of Mattel "Jurassic World" wave 3 Mini Action Dinosaurs today at Wal-Mart!

I felt the packages and scored the only ones I wanted from this wave:

Dimorphodon x2
Postosuchus

I would love to get more Dimorphodons but I think I am good on 1 Postosuchus.

I have encluded a scale pic of the regular carded "Attack Pack" Dimorphodon and its "Mini Action Dinosaur" counterpart.

The webbing on the Mini Action Versions legs is almost certainly to make the legs not get pulled off when being removed from the mold but I actually like the way it looks, gives it an alien appearance.

Target "Jurassic World" score!

These go for crazy money on eBay so I was really surprised to see them just hanging on the pegs!
