Welcome to... Monday

Welcome back for another week of robots, monsters, and misadventure here on Zone Base! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I sure did! This week is the first full week of October and officially the rest of the world is also celebrating Halloween. Of course we've been going strong since August here on Zone Base and there's one more month of Pumpkin Spiced Mayhem to run wild with. If you use Instagram, please check out me out! This year, the Mrs and I acquired a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror advent calendar and I'm posting each days spooky surprise. Give me a follow too if you want. That's my main social media account where I have all sorts of fun.

This weekend was a fun one, albeit a little laid back. The Mrs and I took my Mom with us Saturday to Walmart to pick up a few things. Saturday evening was a relaxing one at home with Sunday being a nice rainy fall day. After a quick run to the grocery store for a few things, I spent the day playing the Silent Hill 2 remake that came out not long ago. I had bought it for the Mrs on release, but it's largely been unplayed. Since she's been working her way through the new Silent Hill F, she asked if I could play 2 so she could watch. No problem, 2 is easily my favorite Silent Hill game and it's been a long time since I've played the original version. 

I planned to organize the cords on our Halloween lights a little better this weekend, but a rainy day wasn't ideal for that task. Next weekend for sure. Wonderfest Shanghai this weekend and some really cool stuff was shown off. Of course various companies had assorted Transformers merchandise on display. Both Yolopark and Blokees made a great showing. Speaking of Blokees, they introduced Defender Version series 5. It looks great, damn I really need to get some series 4! 52toys had a great display as well. Of course there's some good BeastBox and BeastDrive bots coming, but what really has my attention is Roboforce. Roboforce is a new transforming robot toy series from 52toys that looks amazing! Hopefully they'll be easy to get here in the states. I usually don't have a problem, but every once and awhile there's a turd.

As for toys, I picked up Onyx Prime from Transformers Age of the Primes. Walmart had something new! They also had the new Voyager wave, but seeing as it wouldn't scan... I decided to wait for another time. Sometimes they just don't enter them in the system correctly and it won't ring up at the cashier. There's nothing more infuriating than being denied purchases due to someone else's incompetence. Hopefully I'll be able to buy them soon as well as the newest Target 4 pack that should be showing up this week. I've got to get in my new toy purchases in soon. After October, my annual tradition of not buying myself toys during November and December will be in effect. I'll be swimming in new stuff on Christmas, but will be spending money on others during the season. I've got quite a lot of toys still for us to look at, so content won't be lacking here on the site. I've never considered Zone Base to be a new toy review site anyway. This is a place to enjoy our fandom together and I'm flattered that you chose to spend some time here with me. It's time to get this week started Zone Base readers. Mutual High Fives everyone and please remember to share with your friends!
