It's Monday again and... I'm a little mad the weekend is already over. But that just means another fun week here on Planet Zone! So while I eat a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats and watch Beyond Belief, let me tell you about this weekend I had. It was short. I had meant to do some housework... but that didn't happen. Does playing Mighty Doom count? Did some shopping, got some Christmas presents bought. I did pick up Earthspark Nightshade for myself as well as a TF Micro Machines and SW Micro Galaxy Squadron blind packs up. I try not to get myself much at Christmas time... but sometimes you just need to treat yourself. I think my Code Red (Stranger Things Transformers) came in. I'll open that box in a minute. Oh, I started my Jurrasic Park Advent Calendar! It's Christmas!
I don't have myself together yet, but I promise this week will be fun for all of you. Thank you for continuing to support Zone Base and independent thought. If you like what I'm doing, please share the site with your friends. That'd be amazing. There's strawberries in my cereal.
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is one of my all time favorite shows. I still watch it now as I've mentioned here before. Well, of course one of my favorites dipped it's toes into another of my favorites as there's a great Halloween segment from season 3. To be frank... not the host... the term... it's only fitting. The show was pretty spooky most of the time. Honestly I'm surprised there wasn't more Halloween themed bits. Here we have a great little version of the tried and true mean old man on Halloween story. Did it really happen, or is it just a Halloween trick?
It's the beginning of another new week here on Planet Zone and you know what that means! It uh... honestly I don't know where I was going with that either. This weekend was a fun one with a small sampling of Halloween stock at At Home and more plan-o-grams taped to shelves. It's coming! Apparently my stores are in a lull right now as no new Transformers were stocked aside from one Micro Machines set (that I grabbed). I'm honestly hurting for the Target exclusive Creatures Collide set, so it's hard to be patient. I picked up a RX-78-2 Gundam model that came with a bunch of accessories. I'd been holding off on any more models since I've got a few that need to be built. However it was on sale for 9$, so obviously I jumped on that.
I had some great sushi from the grocery store when the Mrs and I stopped by for some lunch. She got a sub sandwich and I got a great cream cheese with salmon and avocado roll. It was so good that I'm thinking about it still. Sunday was spent playing a few games bought off the e-shop on sale. The Switch E-Shop usually has some great deals if you poke around the sale section a little. I spent a lot of time wishing I was at G-Fest, so it made for a good distraction.
I'm writing this before going to bed Sunday night. In the morning, the Mrs and I will be hitting up Bath & Bodyworks for the first day of their Halloween collection. She looks forward to it all year. It'll be fun. For now though, think I'm going to watch Beyond Belief and drink this Ramune. It's a tasty melon flavor. You've got a fun week on store for you Zone Base readers. Thank you all for continuing to support my nonsense. Please don't forget to share with your friends!
Its a new week here on Planet Zone and where did the weekend go? It was Easter weekend and I spent most of it with family enjoying the holiday. Between gifts and stuff I bought myself I came away with some good stuff. The wife and I bought each other new shoes. That was cool, got a sweet new pair of Puma! I've got a sneaker rule. Sporty pair for spring and summer, retro/vintage type for fall and winter. Don't ask me why, but it makes plenty of sense somehow.
The Mrs picked up the new Target exclusive Silverstreak/Bluestreak. I've been looking for him. Still no Studio Series Soundwave. Starting to wonder if all those ones I've seen online are a hallucination. Grabbed a new version of Zombot who came with a converting truck and trailer friend. From that same series is a weird Diaclone style transport. I tell you random cool stuff gets snuck into Hot Wheels. Still marveling at that futuristic helicopter that'll fit a Diaclone or Zoids pilot.
Picked up Void Knight from Dino Fury. Aside from getting the rest of the Megazord, that might be all of that line I get unless there's a neat surprise. It's been a fun series. Speaking of Power Rangers, I got the Thunder and Galaxy Megazord from the vintage collection. Now just to wait for wave 2. Not to mention, this week pack of Million Warriors had a super rare figure! BTW, an Easter Basket is a great way to give someone Smashers toys. The wife put a mini light up dino egg one in mine!
The Mrs included a Platinum series Dragonoid in an Easter Basket. Die cast Bakugan are excellent. She also got me a storage case, so all the ones I've been getting have a new home. Wonder if those old Happy Meal ones I have would fit? Where are those anyway? With the case was also a Monster Flex Scarecrow. Monster Flex is a Stretch Armstrong style line of monsters. The Scarecrow is a pumpkin headed fellow that's impossible not to love. Every day is Halloween, even on Easter!
I 've got a fun week planned for you all. Thanks for reading Zone Base and continuing to support my nonsense. I know it's not some big site, but hey, it's honest. At least I don't drill you nonstop with ads. I recently renewed the registration for the site. Here's to another year! Please share with your friends, it's all I ask! Now it's time to enjoy this Nature's Bakery fig bar while watching Beyond Belief.
It sure is Monday and that sure does mean the start of another new week here on Planet Zone! It's also the last few days before Christmas and that means a few hectic days. That being said, aside from this weeks Beast Saga post, there won't be any toy posts. I just don't forsee and spare time to dive into the backlog for a bit. However, I do have some other fun in mind, so stay tuned!
It was a good, but busy weekend. Saturday was spent doing the last of the Christmas shopping before the big day. There was a lot of running around and big crowds. I do enjoy shopping, but doing so much in a day can feel like a second job! Not to mention the strange events that took place in the parking lot of one shopping center. The entire area was covered in hundreds of turkey vultures. There was a very bad smell that coated the entire area. Clearly something was dead in the area and judging by the large amount of birds, a lot of it. Christmas is also a time for scary ghost stories and that certainly was one. Fortunately we got everything we needed unscathed before retiring for the evening with dinner from Longhorn Steakhouse (one of our favorites).
Sunday the wife's brother, father, her father's wife and grand daughter came over for our Christmas with them. The Mrs had prepared a bunch of snacks while they brought a sandwich tray. It was a fun dinner that included some sushi from the local Publix for me. I'm still on a low sodium diet while recovering, so I wanted to offset some of the food. I really love sushi from Publix, so no complaints from me. Gifts were exchanged and a good time was had. Afterwards, my mother came by for dinner and holiday special viewings. Actually, we've been watching Christmas specials all weekend.
It's Sunday night as I'm writing this and that means a few episodes of Beyond Belief before sleep. I've got a busy day tomorrow before work. Christmas can be hectic, but nothing beats how nice it is on Christmas Eve. All the stress is over and you can just bask in the joy. It's going to be a fun week here on the site. I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for your continued support and please share with your friends!
It's Monday and that means a new week here on Planet Zone! I had a low key weekend spent watching Kaiju Masterclass panels and playing Gundam Breaker on my Galaxy Tab. The Mrs and I did make it out to some stores for a few things. While out I managed to find Cyberverse Sludge, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Trap Jaw, MOTU Mega Construx Scuba Attack Zodak (finally), and the Ghostbusters Fright Features Venkman with Terror Dog. I was starting to think I'd never find that Zodac and now just got to find the Winston with Slimer before the kids come out.
I intended to straighten up my toy room, but looks like that's going to be a project for next weekend. I've got a pretty big backlog of toys (mostly Transformers) to work through as well. I started feeling sick in the spring before everything came to a head mid summer. That lead to a lot of time resting and not feeling like doing much of anything. Of course I'm feeling much better now and have a small mountain of unopened toys purchased during that time to go through.
It's Monday morning now, though still Sunday night as I'm typing this. I have a late night tradition of watching Beyond Belief on Amazon Prime untill I fall asleep Sunday nights. It's probably one of my favorite all time shows. I'm happy. I haven't talked about my health issues much since everything happened this summer. However I have some good news. You see, I'm on a lot of medication and go to the doctor a lot. I had my first Heart Echo since I was in the hospital this past week and got the results this weekend. While I'll always have a condition and have to take care of it, I've also recovered quite a bit. Guess who's got two thumbs and an nearly normal operating heart?
This guy.
Thanks everyone for reading Zone Base. It means so much to me and I appreciate the support. As usual all I ask is please share with your friends.
