My wife and I spent the last three days moving yards of dirt around to build new raised bed gardens and I can barely move...but I bet I moved whole sandpits of dirt around my parent's backyard with that Tonka dump truck and never batted an eye...I guess I am old.

But not sure what I think of his gummy worm weapons ... 🤔

I've said before, but I LOVE that submarine!

The days when playsets were things one could (and would) actually play with!

I am collecting most of them, and initially passed on Angry Homer. But picked him up a few weeks ago on a not-as-good-as-this-current-sale price...he is awesome. Chunky dude and the green against yellow is 🤩

Why didn't the police arrest them for something simple, like not having a front license plate...?
"California law requires all registered passenger vehicles to display two license plates, one on the front and one on the back...."

Not the Midwest welcome you deserve. But summer storms over here have been horrendous the last few years. But just think of the access to (maybe) fresh water you'll have when the rest of America runs out!

Looks cool. But I hope they make a bald, fat man version because I've decided I only have room in my man cave going forward for toys that look like me, as opposed to my previous penchant for buying toys of characters I aspire to be (both good and evil)...

Crystar...but it's really the little viewfinder that came with him, since I still have that somewhere, but lost the fig eons ago ...

I like the idea of him lying there and not rotting, but realizing nobody can hear anything he says. A true hell for him, maybe.

Part of me really wants to see Richard Marx, so I can hear 'Hazzard' live. But my fear is it will be like Soundgarden at Marcus back in the mid 90s and they played three bars of 'Jesus Christ Pose', then Cornell screamed "We love Pabst beer" and walked off the stage without finishing the song, LOL.

I cannot believe Summerfest is just days away! Not sure what night we're going yet. But have to at least make our yearly pilgrimage to check on our brick by the amphitheatre entrance...

I've been contemplating cancelling my pre-order. But, now, maybe not. Small detail, but the stand that lets him sit on the tombstone is a neat trick. We'll see.

Always enjoyed her. Critical, good advice, without being snide or off-putting. She seemed like she had a big heart. Rest in peace!

LOL. Me too (only getting some). And me too (got almost all of them).

The curled articulated toes really add a realistic touch normally absent from pics of your favorite action figure pose...

I adore this version of Iron Man. The colors are just so bright!

Jet's is AWESOME! Turbo crust all the way.

Mime metal might be a cool show. No singing, no music, just pretend playing and pretend screaming and real headbanging...? At the first the crowd might not get it; but a couple songs in it could be a real riot once they started playing along!

When I made the move from X to Bluesky, @preternia.com was the first account I followed. His Amazon page is also my Amazon homepage, lol, much to my wife's chagrin...I appreciate you, Jon!

I discovered her through Magnolia too. But I listened to Bachelor the entire 2500 mile drive from Michigan to Vegas for the year I lived out there with my brother. Turns out I WAS Bachelor No. 2. At least coming back to the Midwest with my tail between my legs, LOL.

Had to look it up: Bachelor No. 2 (my favorite album of hers) came out 2 years prior. Which makes me really old...

Wow. I'm old....

Growing up in the upper Midwest, I wish I would have been told that Paul Bunyan wielded a giant hot dog, instead of an axe. He may have then been my favorite myth.

Awesome! Or a motorcycle that turns into a helicopter! Can't wait for the Loyal Subjects line to recapture some of the youth my mom sold off in that rummage sale a few decades ago...

He is adorable though. She should submit some of these to Cat Fancy or something. Great pics and a VERY photogenic little dude.

Been there before. And I truly feel for you. I was lost when I was let go from a 12-year gig in 2020, thinking I'd just lost my forever job. And damn was I stupid for not realizing the scariest thing is staying in the same place. Keep your head up. And stay awesome. The world deserves your talent.

Just saw Alice Cooper and the remaining original band are releasing a new album this year! Enjoy the show.

I "adore" those that turn this into a competition. They are effing toys - worthless to most of the population now and even more so in 50 years when I'm dead. But, sure, let's be elitist about them.

It is horrible in Wisconsin. Yes, pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. But if I'm already driving at 25 mph down the street and two feet from driving through the crosswalk, common sense would say to not step into the street. But nope, step on in and swear at me as I slam on the brakes.

Well said. Sooner or later we'll realize why it was named "artificial intelligence". Hopefully not before it is too late.

You and my mom,
You say you're in love
But I don't call you daddy
Though you call me son
And you'd be trippin'
If you think I'm your boy
Cause when you're touchin' momma
I'll be touchin' your toys...

Also adored the Acolyte. And though Boba is my main (short-lived) villain, too much Dymo politics and not enough kick-assery, in my opinion.

He is adorable! My cat, Barney, kissed the screen and then sat down in front of the monitor. Long-distance buds!

I agree with this wholeheartedly. We buy Paramount too on Black Friday every year. But great deals and only really miss non-network live sports. But a year-plus in, I realize I don't care about sports all that much.

He looks surprised to be so...naked. Like people can see into his soul and he isn't sure if it is awkward or liberating...

Yeah, I have a second one sitting in my cart. With Flash Gordon, who I'm still undecided on even though it's a pretty good sale price...
