New Week Loading

A new week has started here on Zone Base and that means more robots, monsters, and misadventure! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure did! The Mrs and I did some weekly shopping which unfortunately did not result in any new toys, but I've got some Cyberworld toys ordered that we'll be talking about soon. Sunday, I did some toy room organizing and we enjoyed homemade pizza with Mom while watching more Stranger Things. We've rewatched all of Season 2 now and still chugging through. We tend to get 2-3 episodes in every Sunday, so I expect to be finished by the end of August. It's been a fun rewatch and Mom is hooked. Next weekend we're starting Season 3 (my favorite season) and I think some sushi is in order!

Now let's talk robots! Transformers Cyberworld premiered this weekend on YouTube and I really liked it. They're short episodes like Cyberverse was and have the same fun spirit. Long time readers may remember how much I enjoyed Cyberverse, so I'm hoping this will follow suit. The setting finds Optimus and company on a mysterious world that has them pitted against each other in games. The dialog is funny and it looks like a solid story is building to support the adventure. I'm here for it! As I told Chris online, it's premise is similar to a storyline I came up with for Machine Wars when I was younger, so it's exciting to see something similar as a cartoon. This isn't the first time something I've imagined for Transformers has become a reality, but it's neat everytime it's happened. Hooray for tulpas! I'll be talking about the toys soon. 

In other robot news, 52toys announced Sacred Firepower this weekend and I can't wait to get one. I've been patiently waiting for them to stock Sacred Robo on their US Amazon shop and now have another to wait for! Hopefully I'll be able to get the special versions that come with keshi pilots as they add a lot of fun. Both of these Robo toys are compatible with each other and you can swap parts to create something new. 52toys also showed off their new base units and they look great. Not only are they perfect for BeastBox toys, but inchman enthusiasts are loving them too. Playmates has been showing off their new Power Rangers toys and I'm looking forward to building that Megazord! It looks to be of a similar build to their Voltron line from years ago. I think the same design team possibly worked on it and that has me excited. Long time readers may also remember how much I enjoyed those. Here's hoping they do a Metal Force version as well!

Summerween is in full effect as more and more of my stores are stocking early Halloween fun. Even Five Below is sneaking out a little spooky season fun in summertime. Summer is fun, but having a little Halloween infused is better! The Mrs picked up some great spooky stuff Friday and while checking out the Summerween stuff at Walmart, I grabbed some multicolored skeletons. I always grab a few cheap skeletons each year and the bright colors are great! Dokuro Time Travelers?

Tfcon Canada and G-Fest took place this weekend and I couldn't attend, but greatly enjoyed what I could see online. Both looked like good times and teased some great items on the way. Wonderfest Summer will be soon and I definitely look forward to the pictures from that! I've seen some great previews of SplatterHouse figures and man I wish I could go! Well, I've got a great week in store for you all Zone Base readers. Thank you for supporting the site, I really appreciate it. I hope everyone has a great week and ask that you share the site with your friends. Mutual High Fives everyone!
