Toys R Us $5 Off Purchase of $25 Coupon – Today Only

To promote its Facebook page, Toys R Us has a special $5 off coupon for purchases of $25 and over on Toysrus.com. This coupon is for today only!  It’s a nice deal, because they also have selected action figures on clearance.

Update – they’ve posted another coupon today, so keep checking back!

I am thinking about using the coupon to get the Honky Tonk Man for almost nothing. The exclusive version is just $6.98. This would be in revenge for our encounter at San Diego Comic-Con. VeeBee and I found him standing alone in the aisles and asked him to take a picture with us – we’re both old school wrasslin’ fans. He put his arm around VeeBee and then asked for $20. Well, I’m gonna buy you for $1.98! Take that, Honky Tonk!

We have added an exclusive facebook $5 off coupon on any purchase of $25 on Toysrus.com to the coupon tab on our facebook homepage. Happy shopping!

Q: What’s Better Than Storing Your Action Figures in Big Plastic Tubs?

A: Actually having space to display them! 😀

A couple of days ago, I was lamenting having to move all of the action figures I had, not because we were moving, but because we had decided to install new carpeting. A few of them were on display in a small bookshelf that was mostly filled with books, and the balance were stored in big plastic tubs that I used to call “Staging Area One.” The carpet went in earlier this week, and I’ve been spending the last couple of days setting up the new display.

We got rid of the old bookshelf and added more shelving cubes. In all, there are forty-nine 1-foot square cubes, and I’ve got figures in thirty-one of them, and extra figures and customizing supplies in fourteen more. I’d guess I’ve got at least five times more display space than I used to.

Marvel Legends Zabu by GrownNerd

Let me start by saying that I normally don’t take action figures outside to take pictures of them.  I do love seeing outdoor shots, but it’s just a lot of trouble to get them set up, and I would rue the day that one of my neighbors catches me doing so.  But for this custom Marvel Legends Zabu, I was compelled.

You may remember GrownNerd’s entry in CustomCon 22, Savage Land Face-Off Zabu & Ultra-raptor.  If you haven’t seen that, you’ve got to check it out.  What you may not know is that the Zabu in that CustomCon entry is the *second* Zabu he made.  When he posted the recipe for Zabu on his customs thread at TheFwoosh.com, he revealed that he wasn’t happy with the first.  I suggested that I take the first one off his hands because it was such a piece of crap, and shortly thereafter, I had this beauty in my hands.  Never underestimate the power of sarcasm coupled with suggestion!
