Building a New Week

It's time for another week of robots, monsters, and misadventure to begin here on Zone Base. I hope you all enjoyed the first week of this years Halloween party! We'll be trick or treating for the next 3 months, so settle yourselves in for Pumpkin Spiced Mayhem running wild! This weekend I spent some quality time with the Mrs. I honestly started out not feeling so great, so after a little shopping, we spent the rest of it at home. I sure enjoyed the rest and relaxation. We ordered a pizza and watched some spooky shit.

Both TFNation and Otakon took place this weekend providing fun information from their panels. Some looks at the pitch for what could have been the Transformers original cartoon was shown at TFNation and it looks like as fun deep dive in the future for me. I love the cartoon we got, but what could have been is a fun subject to explore. Speaking of fun subjects, I spent some time assembling Blokees. I've got 3 boxes of Defender version kits and just having a little assembling jam was really fun. No pictures, no pressure, just assembling. I'll be making posts of them in the future, but planning it all out is pretty important. 

I do have intentions to increase the coverage of Blokees and other similar kits here on the site. Not that I haven't been showing them off, but making them more of the sites regular content. Looks at regular toys are not going away, it's just that these are lot of fun to blog about. Like the Cyberworld posts, you all sure seem to be enjoying and those are so much fun to write about! I grew up assembling Zoids at the kitchen table with my brother and having fun with garage kits and models in my room. Spending a Saturday night building a super robot paper model was a regular occurrence and that sense of hands on is embeded in me as part of how my fandom works. Since Zone Base is about enjoying my hobbies with you, I feel that really getting into more than the surface level is what it's all about. I don't know if that made any sense, but part of my intention this past year of getting the site back to it's roots and is seemingly on course. 

As for toys purchased this weekend, I got some great ones! During the week some stuff ordered prior arrived. Another case of Blokees and Cyberworld Snarl finally came! Ironically after I've ordered all but Scorponok, they were at Target Saturday. Oh well, guess I'll buy him at physical retail... maybe. Target did have Commander Class Silverbolt bringing me almost all the way to a new Superion! Oddly I still haven't gotten any more of the new Constructicons. Here's hoping I can complete Devastator. I also picked up a new Halloween Star Wars figure. We'll be looking at him later on, but it's a great ghostly take on the Royal Guard. Target also had Power Rangers vs Godzilla blind bag bag clip figures. I got a King Caesar Zord! More of these are definitely getting bought. Filling out the weekends toy purchases was the new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Tyrannosaurus Megazord from Playmates. They have a new series releasing in stores and I plan to buy one Zord a week until completing the Megazord!

I think this set is designed by the same team who made their Voltron toys, and that was great! It looks to be a pretty big Megazord, so this will be fun! Well, speaking of fun, that's the kind of week we've got in store. Please look forward to robots, monsters, and a healthy dose of the spooky season! Thank you all for reading and please don't forget to share with your friends. Mutual High Fives everyone!
