Burning New Week

A new week is here, and with it... I dunno. I had a pretty good weekend. The weather has been pretty nice latley so I took the opportunity to grill out Sunday. I'm not sure if an early spring is setting in this year, but I'll enjoy a relaxing afternoon around the grill cooking some good food. Did some shopping Saturday, resulting in a new pair of Hey Dudes. I've always been a sneaker guy, but these little shoes might have me finally changing my ways. The Mrs got me a great pair for Christmas and now we're at two pair. The times are changing I guess.

As far as toys go, I got some fun stuff. A trip by the Dollar Tree resulted in finally finding some new Final Faction figures. I got 4 of the new Venom series Kharn toys. Just need 2 more and to find the Elite series. A stop by TJ Maxx provided a Lightyear Hyperspeed series buggy set. I'd been hoping to find those since seeing other Inchman posts on Instagram using them. Walmart didn't have anything I've been looking for, so I took the occasion to order some Beastbox. Got the new rabbit set (just in time for Easter) and the Godzilla flavored SubZero figure. My Mom came by Sunday for the cook out and gifted me the new Talon Fighter (Netflix CGI He-Man) and a Bakugan set she found on clearance.

There's a new episode of Transform Squadron avaliable for your listening pleasure. I hope it helps you get this week going. I've got some fun stuff planned for you all this week as usual. Thank you for continuing to support Zone Base. It may be just a podunk little fan blog, but it's mine and I appreciate you all reading. Please don't forget to share with your friends. I don't ask much. No ads or hand outs required, but it'd be great for more people to enjoy this fun stuff with me.

To Hyperspeed and Beyond!

 

Some of the coolest toys right now are Buzz Lightyear toys. From the new Lightyear movie (which itself is based on the adventures of the 'real' Buzz Lightyear the character in Toy Story is based on) is a great series of toys by Mattel. There's the standard action figures that look pretty sharp, however it's the Hyperspeed Series we're here to talk about today. These are smaller scaled vehicles from the movie with tiny, almost Diaclone sized pilot figures. Think Star Wars Micro Machines Action Fleet.

While your first impression of Buzz Lightyear is silly and cute, these have some seriously neat sci fi designs. There's a big similarity to other sci fi series in these designs. The Zyclops are a great hybrid of a Zaku and the Yellow Devil robot for example. The various ships resemble a mix of Star Wars and odd ships from various space shooter games. I half expect the Star Bird to make an appearance. There's even Air Raiders and Sky Commanders energy in there. To me anyway. I haven't tried if the pilots could fit inside the cockpit of a G1 Transformer or a Zoid yet. They do look about the same size. Maybe. I'd never imagine in a million years that Buzz Lightyear would have such awesome little toys. But here we are.

Weekly Update 6/13/22

 

It's another Monday here on Planet Zone, but not just any Monday. Starting today the Transformers Tv channel on Pluto Tv goes live! Make sure to add it to your list of favorites. As far as weekends go, this was an odd one. A trip to the vet to get our new kittens their shots ended up being a hassle. They were having some event and didn't bother to tell anyone. So a long line full of cheesed off pet owners in the hot summer sun all suffered together. That sucked! 

After finally getting done and a little rest at home, some shopping was done.  We needed to get the father in law something for father's day and his birthday. Then a trip to Walmart for a few things. They haven't restocked the Transformers or others toys I buy. Thus giving me a chance to finally divulge into the new Buzz Lightyear Hyperspeed series toys. These things are seriously cool. I also picked up a Savage World Freddy Kruger on clearance for only 5 dollars. 

There was much television, napping, and even some Morning Star vegetarian buffalo wings! I've got a fun week planned for you all. Currently I'm writing this and watching Voltes V while drinking a Cherry Coke. Hope you all are enjoying Spooky Summer. Halloween is around the corner and I've been having fun looking at leaks of whats to come! As usual, please share with your friends! My weird site about robots and monsters is nothing without all of you!
