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! 

Shoot, it's Monday

I could do for another few days off, but the weekend is over and Monday is here. I had a pretty great weekend even though not much was done. Unfortunately, the Mrs caught my cold as I was getting better and spent the weekend not feeling so great. I recover extremely fast from being sick, but unfortunately it took a toll on her. I spent most of the weekend taking care of her and playing my Evercade EXP-R. I did get out to the store for some needed items, unfortunately Walmart still hasn't restocked from Christmas. The first quarter is always a bit barren for toy stock, but piles of unsold toys makes it hard to not feel a little down. Transformers One was a great movie and those are good toys! I'm glad it's found success on streaming, but wish the unsold stock from it (and Earthspark) would move sooner than later. Cyberworld doesn't look like it will show up until later in the year, so thankfully what's going on now won't hold it up.

I did order Transformers Legacy United Armada Universe Wheeljack from Amazon. So, I didn't come out of the weekend empty handed. It and the Optimus I ordered last week will come in soon. I've enjoyed Legacy, but the coming Age of the Primes toys look like a fun Generations line and a suitable replacement for Legacy. If anything, I'll be be happy for the easier name. When I wasn't playing video games this weekend, I kept up with convention news. Hasbro had a booth at Megacon and showed off some exciting new Transformers coming this year.

I was more excited for the news that came from Wonderfest this weekend. The winter 2025 show did not disappoint with cool reveals. My beloved 52toys shown off so much cool stuff... it was jaw dropping. BeastBox is going to be great this year. Not to mention Mad Cars looks like a lot of fun. There's always room for Inchmen on Zone Base! Of course all the cool garage kits were fun to look at. As always there was fun Godzilla, SplatterHouse, and Microman stuff available that really grabbed my attention. That's not selling the other things short either, just man,  I was blown away! Well, it's time to get the day started. I've got some household chores to be done and pictures for upcoming posts to take. I'm really excited for the things 2025 looks to be bringing.
