Tag, you're Monday

Hey Zone Base readers, it's time for another week of robots, monsters, and misadventure! I had a great weekend and hope you did too! It was a pretty relaxing weekend spent with the Mrs. Saturday, after dinner, I put together a new shelf for her Popmart and similar toys. Sunday was spent playing video games, building Blokees, and dinner with Mom watching Stranger Things. The Mrs made a wonderful chicken dinner that I'm definitely taking leftovers to work!

As for toys, there was some great finds. The Synergex MechaGodzilla Optimus Prime FINALLY came in. I have no clue what took so long, but now G-Force has help with that Godzilla version Megatron running amuck. I also got the Cyberworld Scorponok toy who is HUGE. I've been talking about the older robot toy DNA in Cyberworld and Scorponok is full of it. Speaking of old robot DNA, I picked up the Studio Series 86 Constructicons 2 pack. Just 3 more to complete that set! Speaking of halfway there, I grabbed the Triceratops Dinozord for the Playmates Megazord.

Next weekend I plan to get the Sabertooth Tiger, which may be the extent of Zords for a minute. The Mastodon and Pterodactyl seem to be in a second wave, so some waiting looks to be in the cards. Last but not least, a trip to Five Below for Halloween Peeler candy led to some fun. I got a Halloween Peanuts set of figures and a Boo Hollow figurine. Spooky fun! I also finally found the bootleg robot toys many had been speaking about online. I grabbed Mad Whirler, a helicopter bot whoms source mold I can't determine yet. Looks familiar though. 

Well, it's time for me to run some errands before taking some pictures for upcoming posts. My plan for more model posts is still in play, but planning is also in order. I think it'll be fun. Clearly you all like the Blokees posts and I love them! We're just 2 weeks into the Halloween party with even more to go! It's so fun making Zone Base, thank you all for reading! It means so much that all of you take time to enjoy our fandom together. Mutual High Fives everyone, please share the site with your friends! 

The Trials of Monday

It's the beginning of a new week of content for your eyeholes here on Zone Base! I hope you all had a great weekend and hoping this week will be a good one as well. I spent most of my weekend playing Astro Bot on my PS5. I discovered the little guy on Astro Bot's Playroom and have been in love ever since. Such a cute little robot starring in some really great games! Aside from picking that up from my local Target, I also grabbed Hordak from Turtles of Grayskull and a great set of Peanuts Halloween mini figures at Five Below! Walmart hasn't gotten any of the Transformers Star Raiders collection in yet sadly, but my Thundertron 3-Pack came in during the week.

Between this collection and the Transformers One toys, I'm having a lot of fun! Speaking of Transformers One, the release date is around the corner and I'm PUMPED! This looks like a great movie and I've been seeing a lot of cool sneak peaks online. Here's hoping it's a success. I also spent some time sorting through older toys my Mom had in her storage. It was fun repairing Starriors and looking at my old school supplies robots by Mark. Speaking of robots, I managed to get Transformers Studio Series 86 leader class Springer and Swoop over the Labor Day weekend. Aside from recolors, I now have all the leader sized Dinobots! Not to mention, my Mom wouldn't approve of me missing a Springer.

We're firmly in the 2nd month of Halloween and now that it's September the cool Autumn air if filling my lungs with joy. I really do love this time of the year. Are you enjoying the annual Halloween party? It's just getting started and the spooky season is really shaping up to be a special one! Neon colors are huge this year and I love it. Being a child of the 80's, those bright colors were a big part of Halloween that hasn't been around in a long time and it does my heart good to see them again. 

It's time to get this week started. I've got some household work to do and pictures for future toy posts to take. We've got a fun week planned for you all. Even more looks at Transformers One and Turtles of Grayskull are in store for you all Zone Base readers, please look forward to it. Thank you all for reading Zone Base. Please don't forget to share the site with your friends!

Weekly Halloween: Springtime Code Orange

 

Spring is in the air and Halloween is around the corner. While little peaks and glimpses start in January, it really starts leaking out right now before stuff starts showing up in summer. Just this past weekend while at the Dollar Tree, there was already Halloween flavored glow sticks being stocked. The Mrs. got some Halloween nail things from there a few weeks ago. It's coming! Kicking off the spookiness is Walpurgis Night. Walpurgis Night takes place April 1st and runs through May 1st. It's something I've been wanting to incorporate here on Zone Base and this year is the year! Next week will be extra spooky in observance of Walpurgis Night as we hit the halfway mark to our favorite holiday! Boo!

Happy Thanksgiving From Zone Base!
