GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers – December Press Pics

Hasbro has shared some pictures of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers.  This month, the Marvel team comes through with new images from Marvel Universe 2010 Wave 2, new Spider-Man, and Super Hero Squad.  I’ve also included a sampling of the new Iron Man 2 figures that ActionFigs.com published earlier today.

Do Your Black Friday Shopping From Home!

In today’s installment of “the universe loves a good play on words,” I found a Forager while out hitting a couple of Wal-Marts.  I usually don’t like going to Wal-Mart, because where we live I never find anything, but we’re on the road celebrating her birthday and Thanksgiving, so I was tagging along.

But Black Friday – forget it.  These days I don’t have the willpower to put together a plan of attack and brave the crowds, so I’m much happier staying away from the stores.

That doesn’t mean I’ll be missing out on all the deals though.  Here’s a list of toy-related deals that the retailers have put together for guys like me.  If you’d rather shop from the comfort of your own home, check them out!

OK, I think that should keep us homebodies busy for a couple hours early Friday morning. Happy shopping!
