Found Wheeljack at Dollar General

A friend of mine sent me a Tik Tok today about there being a sale at Dollar General on LEGO sets. I looked up my local store and it said that a lot of the sets were out of stock but I decided to go anyway on my way to work. I’m glad that I did because I found a bunch of LEGO sets that I got for 50% off plus some additional discounts for picking up $75 worth of toys. While I was there I found this Wheeljack figure that was under $5. It is a simplistic one probably made specifically to be in dollar stores but it is of my favorite Transformer, Wheeljack so I picked it up. It was a great look and transforms easily. I’ll be displaying it on my desk in my office.

Christmas Shopping With Andy

Giant Happy Meals

Andy had a half day today so after I picked them up from school we went to Target to do some Christmas Shopping for Allison and Eva. We did pretty good finding some very nice things for them. I even picked up a few things and got my shopping done. I’m going to take Eva to do the same thing next week.

while we were out we also had lunch at McDonald’s. There is a new promotion happening with Adult sized Happy Meals. Great idea for that nostalgia factor but they went and collaborated with some DJ and turned their McNugget buddies into characters associated with this dj instead of the old Mcnugget buddy figures that I think most people would have preferred. I know that I would. I tend to like many things and give so many things a chance. This I was not that thrilled about. I’m not enjoying these collaborations.

Soundwave

One collaboration that I do like, however, is that between G.I. JOE and Transformers. Hasbro took the character of Soundwave and reimagined him as the Dreadnok’s Thunder Machine. This set finally arrived and I was thrilled to get it. I’m loving how Hasbro has made these collaborations. Of all the ones that I’ve purchased, this one is the best. It just fits perfectly and they even paired the figure with two G.I. Joe Dreadnoks characters Zartan and Zarana. Even going so far as to put them onto cards was a great touch.
