Hauls: 05-14-13 to 05-18-13

Where to begin. Nothing really exciting of course. On that Tuesday I grabbed Scarlet Ninjini from GameStop and Series 2 Slam Bam arrived from Amazon, meaning I’m 100% up to date on currently released Skylanders. I still need S2 Drobot, Lightcore Pop Fizz, Lightcore Hex, Lightcore Chill, and Polar Whirlwind. Then I’m all done I think until Swap Force and Disney Infinity, because apparently I’m doing that too.

The next day my Mandarake box got here. This is my first box that was entirely books. Nakano posted all the Detail of Heroes books, so I grabbed all I needed except for Hibiki. The Hibiki they put up was the original print, and I wanted to get the newer print that matches the currently releasing Detail of Heroes books. So now I have suit porn books for Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, New Den-O (and Den-O Movies), Decade, W, OOO, and Fourze.

Couple days later I got Gnarly Tree Rex from eBay. He was available in the Skylanders Wii Bundle. Obviously I don’t need a Wii, so I just scored one for $30 on eBay. Double the price of the average Giant isn’t that bad I think, given how he was released.

Finally I was out shopping with Jeff after a Pokémon tournament on Saturday. Picked up the entire wave of Metallic Force Megaforce figures, as well as the two newest Cyberverse Commanders. Shockwave is a really nice release. Tank mode is lacking a bit, but the robot mode is pretty cool. Starscream is just a repaint. I didn’t like Starscream much in the first place, so he’s kind of meh to me. Shockwave’s cool though!
