An Elephant Lunch, Skylanders and Comics

Photo-A-Day #3923

Skylanders figures Donkey Kong and Bowser with their vehicles for Skylanders SuperChargers

Today we go on a shopping trip, I make a special lunch for my son, we buy comics, I give you an update on my snack stadium progress and I get a special delivery out of the blue of Skylanders SuperChargers two packs of Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Barrel Blaster as well as Hammer Slam Bowser and the Clown Cruiser.

The Skylanders figures came with the Wii U and the 3DS starter packs. I didn’t think that these would come out individually at all. It wouldn’t have made a difference to me since I was going to get the Wii U and the 3DS version anyway. The figures also double as amiibo figures. I haven’t tried these out as amiibo figures yet but will try it out soon.

Vlog transcript:
Hey this is Drew Bennett from Benspark.com. Today is day six of my 2016 vlog a day. And, let’s see, today I’m gonna have a little in and out of these videos from things that happened today and things I want to talk about. Like any Wednesday I take my son to a playground and we have a lot of fun and I take him home and we have lunch and so this is what I made him for lunch today.

Lunch video:
ME: Hey, What’s this here?
ANDREW: An Elephant
ME: An Elephant? That could be an elephant, that is an elephant lunch. Are you excited to eat lunch?
ANDREW: Yeah!
Me: Alright.

And so, after lunch we ran over to Walmart, but before we went to Walmart we stopped and we went to my comic book store which is Wild Time Comics and picked up all my comics. And so, here are some of the comics that we picked up.

Comic video:
ME: Hey Andrew, what did we do just now what did we just go do?
ANDREW: Pick up some comics.
Me: We went and got some comics. Yes, we went to our comic book store which you can see over there. That’s our comic book store, Wild Time Comics. Okay so, we went to the comic book store. Picked a few things. I haven’t been there in a while so I got some… glare here. Batman and Ninja Turtles, Interesting. Let’s see, got Transformers: Sins of the Wreckers.
ANDREW: Can I have that?
ME: Nope, You don’t know how to touch comic books correctly yet. My Little Pony and Jem and the Holograms.
ANDREW: Can I see, Jem and the Holograms?
ME: Transformers Holiday Special.
ANDREW: Can I see?
ME: We can read them together. You do not yet know how to touch comics correctly without getting stuff all over them with your little attracting hands of grub. So, just kinda going through the day. We’re gonna go shopping and just had to stop and pick up some comic books.

Main Video:
And then, you know, we get home and I was working on the stadium, the snack stadium. And here is a little bit of my progress on the snack stadium.

Snack Stadium Video:
ME: Alright so here I have some more work being done on the snack stadium. I decided to go all blue on the inside. I went crazy with the duct tape. I made a scoreboard which I am going to set up on posts and such. Bunch of things that are going to go into the snack stadium but that’s more for the blog post. Got a whole bunch of duct tape, white, blue, blue white, some Skittles Duct Tape. I found some M&M duct tape, some black duct tape and a giant honkin roll of the regular silver duct tape. So, yeah that’s where I’m at with that.

Main Video:
And so after that. While I was doing that actually I noticed that there was someone on the porch and that was Fed Ex and I hadn’t gotten a Fed Ex notification that anything was coming. So, I went out and looked and to my surprise I got a package that has these new Skylanders Sets. These are the ones for the Nintendo figures that are part Skylanders figure, part amiibo figure. And so, now amiibo collectors and Skylanders collectors ,who don’t have the Nintendo system, can pick up these figures. They still only play on the Nintendo systems, so the Wii, the Wii U and the 3DS. I already had these and no I’m not giving them away. I’m not doing a giveaway. There is a family friend who could use them, I’m going to give them to them. But this is Donkey Kong which is a super. Let’s see this is Turbo Charge Donkey Kong with Barrel Blaster and then we’ve got Hammer Slam Bowser with the Clown Cruiser. That’s just added to my collection of Skylanders if you want to check that out this is my collection of Skylanders.

Skylanders Collection Video:
So this is my Skylanders collection, right now. It’s a big Honkin box. One of those giant tubs full of Skylanders figures.

Main video:
That’s a pretty big collection. I’ve got pretty much everything that’s ever come out other than some really rare stuff and anything that is for the employees of Activision. So today it’s really just gonna be a short video. I don’t have a whole lot going on, just those things I showed you earlier. I appreciate you watching.
