Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00083 I got to work tonight to learn that Rob Gronkowski has announced his retirement. I hadn’t taken my daily photo so I wandered the building and found this cute little Patriots gnome on someone’s desk.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00082 When two things that I really enjoy get mashed up I get excited. I love Funko Pop figures and I love Pez dispensers. Well, Funko and Pez have gotten together to put out Pop Pez dispensers. I love the Hanna Barbera ones and recently got Grape Ape but also found Yogi Bear, Secret Squirrel And Morocco Mole. There are a few more out there that I want to pick up, marvel and Hanna Barbera ones. I like them much more than regular Pez dispensers, too. I don’t think that there is a Boo-Boo one, though.

The other day Disney released a new Toy Story 4 poster and trailer. More details of the upcoming movie are revealed. There is a road trip aspect to the movie, Woody reunites with Bo Peep, a bunch of new characters are introduced and there is even some danger going on. The movie has even added some new big names as voices in the movie including Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks and Ally Maki. 

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00081 I was in Target today and saw a brand new Hot Wheels car that I had to grab. I love the look and style of this one. It is an elongated Baja type car and It reminded me of this LEGO one that I got recently. I am on the hunt for the new Avengers Endgame Hot Wheels character cars.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00080 I realized today that I built this set one year ago. The LEGO Ultron Edition Hulkbuster has been residing on my desk ever since. I enjoy having it here on my desk and like looking at it because it is such an interesting piece. It is huge and it took a long time to build. I did record myself building it for over two hours a year ago and you can see that video below. At the same time as this piece came in so did all the Avengers Infinity War sets. With Avengers: Endgame right around the corner I have been on the lookout for all the new sets for that movie. I think there are at least five sets but they are not out in stores and can’t be ordered at this time. When they come in I will make sure I do some builds on video.

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00079 My dad came over today and helped me get started on some Spring cleaning around the house. We took care of the back and side yards so far. In raking up the leaves and clearing out all the stuff from the Winter and Fall we found the first crocus buds starting to get ready to bloom. They will be in full bloom in a few days, probably.

I received a download code for the LEGO DC Super-Villains game a while back from Warner Bros. Games for free to use to make videos and do reviews. Opinions are my own. Today a new Level Pack was released for LEGO DC Super-Villains and it was a very fun quick one. It was really quick. I completed the thing 100% after two runs through (You can’t do it on the first run because you cannot switch characters to gather all the mini-kits). The level is called the Mask of the Phantasm and you simply need to update your game to get the level pack and the new character. I did so and then I took viewers through a quick run of the level the first time through so they could see it. There is a great animated look to this level and it adds some fun characters from the series. You can see my video below. After the video you can see the full details on the latest release. What the release doesn’t say is that Two-Face is also another character that is added in the mix.
