So Saturday afternoon the wife decides she wants to drive about an hour to the second closest Walmart to relace a pair of shoes that the dog ate (the one 5 minutes from us didn't have that style or something). So I decide to go along just for the hell of it, and check out the toy situation. Get to Walmart - nothing. Absolutely nothing. But I did get a Black & Decker cordless weed whacker for $65 and a couple of $1 clearance rifle slings. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
So onto the Zellers just up the street from that Walmart. Walk down the first toy aisle, and low & behold, something I've been looking for since I first heard of it - Darth Tater. For $10. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
So before we head back home I decide to go into the Jumbo Video across from the Zellers. I go in, and their action figure display isn't there, so I look at the previously played games. Look around agai, and realize they moved the figure rack. This was the first time I'd seen Sin City figures in person (had all 6 B&W), so I grabbed Nancy & Marv ($16.65 each - not bad). And I grabbed Darkman and Toxic Avenger from SOTA's Now Playing line for, get this - $7.99 CDN. Couldn't pass them up at that price.
INTERLUDE.......................
So I get back home and check out the 2 comic shops in town. One got in the Sin City figures ($19 each, so I passed) and the Neca Reel Toys figs ($15 each - might have to go back and get Jason). The other shop got in Monsters 4, and I only grabbed Red (I would have gotten Gretel too, but I didn't like the paint apps on the stockings).
So, in conclusion, weed whacker, slings, Darth Tater, Marv, Nancy, Darkman, Toxie, Red.
