Drive Head movie trailer

I'm doing my best to be patient for my newest Drive Head order to arrive, free shipping from Japan usually means a month but somehow feels like forever. I think if I can tolerate the delivery time, I'll buy more this year and maybe finally splurge on some Shinkalion. I've been way to reserved on them as I think they're super cool. I should probably watch more of the shows too. The recent Drive Head movie had a bit of a crossover, which is neat. I'd love the toys to find their way to the US... but that might be a stretch to realistically expect.

I just realized I've never opened Rescue Helicopter.

What am I doing not opening Rescue Helicopter?

What the heck did I do this weekend?

Actually, quite a lot. Saturday after I got home from work the wife and I went to go visit my mom who lives about 2 hours away. While we were there, we did some shoe shopping (I got some neato blue sneaks) as well as check out that Target's Halloween section. They had a great layout! Unfortunately they didn't have any TF's I was looking for. Which is ok, because on our way out we checked our P.O BOX and it had a gift from my pal John! John sent me a cool weapon pack from Drive Head. It's a translucent version of Sonic Interceptors weapons! Neato!

We ordered way too much pizza and watched Black Panther before heading back home.

Sunday, I woke up early to pick up our grocery order and a few more things we needed while the wife slept in (she drove home the night before). The store had a few substitutions for some items which I rejected and went inside to pick out something else which somehow led me to the toy section and whammo bammo there was reissue Hot Rod sitting on the shelf. I grabbed one before picking out tortellini.

On the way home, I somehow found myself inside Target where I picked up some early Christmas shopping for my wife. While they didn't have any of the Speed Series I was hoping to find, they did have the new Studio Series Bumblebee movie figure...somehow he ended up in my basket. Weirdest thing.

I got home and was welcomed by not only a fresh cooked breakfast, but also my super duper Walgreen's info friend leaked me some new Siege listings including a Ratchet that was previously unknown and possibly exclusive to Walgreen's. I decided to go ahead and forward the info to my friends at Tformers before posting here. I wasn't planning to break out my laptop, but wanted to help get the news out fast.

While eating breakfast, I caught up on my DVR and man Super Ninja Steel had a surprise.

While I'm aware Jiraiya made an appearance in Ninninjer, I didn't anticipate the footage in Ninja Steel. It was super cool to see Metal Heroes make a Power Rangers showing and with his new American name Space Sheriff Skyfire (if only Greg Berger did his voice), I really hope there's a surprise toy of him in the toy line like the Evil Red Ranger. 

I ended the weekend like I do most, in bed with the wife watching spooky videos before we go to sleep. Something about weird things Drones manage to video makes for a good time.

I need more Drive Heads

My White Hope arrived this weekend and while I wait for his support vehicle Rescue Helicopter to show up I've made my mind up. I need more Drive Heads. Definitely want a Sonic Interceptor and most definitely a Transporter Gaia. These things rule.

Just can't get them out of my (drive) head

My infatuation with Driveheads continues to grow as the wait for the toy's I ordered continues. Free shipping from Japan is code for 'about a month' and January is a magical month where time slows to a halt. Something I really appreciate after the hustle and rushed nature of the holiday season, but when you're waiting on something... good grief. The toys themselves are pricey enough (though, I've found them for reasonable prices in the most obvious of places) to keep me from going on a buying spree and snapping them all up as fast as possible. Fortunately the usual array of smaller/cheaper convenience store toys are available and might just prove to be the stop gap I need in between importing and waiting forever.

I've always been a fan of these type toys, so they're something I naturally gravitate towards anyway. Long before everyone was hip to the Kabaya model kits, I was steadily snapping them up (they sure were cheaper back then too *shrug*) as well as the random figurines produced of various characters. There's just something special about a good pvc or mini figure.

Go! Go! Rescue!

White Christmas Hope

With some early Christmas gift card money, I ordered something I've really wanted last night. My first Drive Head! I've really wanted to get into these and the opportunity to get some always just out of reach. The one I wanted to get most was this sweet ambulance unit named White Hope. So, I've ordered him and his corresponding Rescue Helicopter! Going with a free shipping option, they won't get here for a few weeks, but what's a few more weeks when you've been wanting something for over a year?

An eternity.
