We don't need another Monday

It's Monday... dammit. Oh well, at least next week is Memorial Day and a welcome 3 day weekend. I hope everyone had a great weekend and has a good week ahead of them. I did some shopping this weekend and finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Trips to Costco, Walmart, and Target were had. I got Rise of the Beasts mainline Rhinox and Beast Changer Mirage as well as Studio Series core class Ironhide. Not to mention a  Great Posing Figure Demon Slayer gatchapon blind bag (Inosuke!). Thanks everyone for reading Zone Base. I've got a fun week planned and hopefully a new Transform Squadron coming soon! Right now... it's time to get woken up. I'm... ah... still sleepy.

Return of the Galaxy

I've been having a great time with my Guardians of the Galaxy advent calendar this Christmas season. Normally, I do a Star Wars one, but like last year, they sold out before I could purchase one. However, like the GOTG movies... it's kinda the same thing. Before any of you coming in give me the 'well actually' treatment... let me explain. I'm well aware of the GOTG prior to the movies, but it wasn't until the movies until I became a fan. They were just kind of in the various comics I'd read and frankly not much more. I do wish now that I would have paid them more attention, but if I had a time machine there'd be more pressing issues I'd focus on. The movies though, *chef's kiss*.

I enjoyed the Star Wars prequels, but not as much as I wanted to. I'd have liked them to be a lot better. Before Disney restarted Star Wars, I has accepted things the way they were. The GOTG came out and well, felt like a pretty decent Star Wars movie. No, it wasn't exactly the same, but pretty close. It's in that space opera nebulous that Micronauts falls in. It's like Star Wars, but different.

So what's that got to do with the above commercial? Well, the toys came out after the movie and well... how many of those mofo's were dead by the time you got the figure? It sure was exciting to get that Boba Fett or Darth Vader on Christmas morning. The Jabba's Palace play set was an amazing gift from Santa. But uh, I already knew what happened to those dudes. Did that have any effect on my enjoyment of the toys? Absolutely not. Sometimes I'd recreate scenes from the movie. Maybe they'd be adventures prior or even after and the guys somehow lived. Sometimes I just played with my toys and didn't care. I think that's where GOTG kinda falls into this. It's that side thing that also works. It's totally Star Wars, while being it's own thing.

Did that make sense?

Weekly Update- 12/5/22

It's Monday... ok, Mondays suck. But, also the start of a new week here on Planet Zone! I spent the weekend watching paranormal television and playing video games. Agood time was had playing The Goonies, The Punisher, and Mighty Final Fight. I also spent some time organizing Bakugan. Think I need a binder for the cards. 

It's Christmas time and I hope you all have been keeping up with my Guardians of the Galaxy advent calendar posting on social media. There's a handy link over on the side bar if you'd like to check it out. Speaking of Christmas, I don't buy myself stuff during the season, but totally splurged on Legacy Skullgrin this weekend. I get each of his figures, NO EXCUSES. 

I've got a fun week planned for you all. Thank you for reading Zone Base. There's a lot bigger and better sites out there (they'll even tell you), so it means alot that you take time out of your day to read me curse about Gobots. You can tell I'm not a bigger and better site because I never ask for money. However, if you like what I do, it'd mean a lot if you shared the site with your friends. 

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order

Ok, I'm sold.
