Robert E. & son says hi! “He has 293 of them.  About 5 of them are just plastic toys.  The rest are Mattel or from Disney.  I don’t know who has the fever for the Cars more, he or I.  I stop at every Target, Walmart, Toys R Us & Kohls that I pass a […]

“Nikko” stumbled upon this at a store … Don’t worry – it looks like a store generated sticker. They probably saw the only one on the shelf and found none in the stockroom so time to mark it down … The perfect Saturday post – it’s almost something but it’s ultimately nothing 🙂

I was at Wondercon (SF) over the weekend – very crowded – good show – of course, not as big as SD Comic Con but a nice season starter … So, in case you’re wondering why there are no CARS on the store shelves – they were pretty much all here … There were 4-5 […]

“David V.” sends us this nice photo of a couple Toon boxes ahead of us from France … I guess Ninja doesn’t require a translation? Or Cho? They look cool. Can’t wait …
