Weekend Toy Run: LEGO Buy One Get One Half Off at Toys R Us

LEGO-LOTR LEGO-TMNT LEGOLoneRanger

Not sure how long this is going to last, but right now LEGO sets are BOGO50 – buy one, get one for half price at ToysRUs.com. This covers almost every set, including those in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Marvel, DC, Lone Ranger, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more – even their girlie Lego Friends sets if pastels are your thing.

There’s a handful of sets that are already deeply discounted so those won’t count, but there’s still big sets like the Millennium Falcon and Jabba’s Palace that you could combine for some pretty big savings. I’m not sure if these qualify for the free shipping for purchases over $79 deal, but if they do, that wouldn’t be that hard to do with LEGO. 😀 Happy shopping!

Sunday Soapbox: Help Me! – I’m Thinking About Second-Chance Subbing to Club Eternia

Club Eternia Second Chance Subs

By the time August 19th had rolled around, I had already decided. No Club Eternia and no Club Ecto-1 – it was just the DC Club Infinite Earths for me. Now it’s a month later, the DC subscription is dead, and I am seriously mulling over taking the second chance to subscribe to Club Eternia, since Mattel has re-opened the Club Eternia sub through September 24.

So what’s changed?

DC Collectibles New 52 Crime Syndicate in Caption This – DCComics.com

See more of DC Collectibles’ New 52 Crime Syndicate in their Caption This! entry for the month.

I’ve seen some people comparing these figures to DC Universe Classics due to the increased level of articulation, but to me, it’s more like Marvel Legends – these figures seem to have neck hinges (or at least functioning ball-jointed necks), double-jointed knees, and wrist hinges / swivels. But to me the newer-styled hips are what really cements the similarity to ML. I would really like to see more DC Collectibles featuring this articulation setup.

Caption This!: Drafting for Destruction

It’s time for another edition of Caption This!, the monthly game from DC Collectibles where we give you the picture, and you give us the (hopefully far less than a thousand) words.

It may be Villains Month, but it’s also fall. Which means that like many of you, we’re busy building our fantasy leagues. And let’s just say that draft time around here gives new meaning to the term cutthroat, especially when our new Crime Syndicate action figures get involved…

Click on the photo for a closer look. Let’s see, we have Black Manta, Bane, Darkseid, always an excellent choice–

Wait a minute! No one’s picked Doomsday yet? Yeesh! Is it too late for us to get in on this draft? Well, it’s certainly not too late for you to come up with a caption. Just post it below in the comments. Then “like” your favorite captions so they rise to the top of the list!

While we’re on the subject of DC action figures I will have to get, DC Collectibles updated their Facebook page with this Crime Syndicate cover pic. The more I see of them, the more I want to add them to my collection. They’ll hit shelves in February and March next year.

By the way, who picked up Forever Evil earlier this month? Is it worth the read?

 

Hot Toys Reveals Burt Ward Robin (1966) Figure

Hot Toys Robin (1966) 01

When it comes to the classic TV series, you can’t have Batman without Robin, so it looks like both Hot Toys releases from the superhero show I grew up on will go up at the same time. Just like with Batman, I’ll be checking Sideshow and BigBadToyStore for their pre-order pages today.

Robin doesn’t come with quite as many accessories as Batman, but he will have enough hands to shake several sticks at, and the likeness to Burt Ward is just uncanny. Cowls off to Hot Toys for this Dynamic Duo.
