Got pretty lucky on the Skylander hit today. Showed up at Toys R Us to see if any of the new ones had come out today. Sure enough I found Fryno, Scratch, Fire bone Hot dog, Trap Shadow, and Freeze Blade. Picked up Fryno and Scratch and brought them home for the step son to save for Logan's birthday gift (he turns 6 in 2 weeks). Well, the wife comes home early and wants to go see about getting a few of the other new ones for his gift. We get there and the guy working just put out the 3 Easter varieties : Spring time Trigger happy, Punk Shock, and Fryno in the egg packaging. We snag up Trigger happy and Punk Shock and go to the register. They ring them up and it flags them for not being able to be sold till 4/6. The manager comes over, has to override the flag, and then has to go pull the rest immediately off the shelf. So for the next couple of weeks, Logan is the only kid to have those 2 characters in this area. :)

Hehe, sadly I'm constantly thinking like that.  It's a blessing and a curse *thinks of all the games I've foolishly sold over the years*.  :(

Dude, that's awesome.  I'm glad to know when the Easter ones come out.  The Boy will love the Trigger Happy.  That's his favorite Skylander.  It's good to know those others are out too.  They haven't shown up around here though.

Monster 3 Ultimate for the Wii U! It's on sale for 20 bucks at Gamestop right now.  Really expanded my Wii U library with all these sales I've come across as I just got in the mail on Wednesday Assassin's Creed 4, Wonderful 101, and 007 Legends that I bought on sale for pretty much all half off from Amazon.

All that is left for me to get is New Super Mario Bros U/Luigi U and Resident Evil Revelations (Which I own on PC, but want a physical copy) and I'll pretty much have all the games I really want for the system I think.

Have you played Super Brawl yet?  Holy Shit are you in for some disappointment.  The best part is the character selection screen.  I know you love you some wrasslin, but that game is shit.  I love that old WCW stuff though.  Too bad the game is such a turd.

Yep, just played it to see if it works and yeah...not so much fun really. Another one off the list for the collection none the less. The character select screen is funny though.

Not a bad haul today.  Particularly happy for the Mega Man X collection, Twisted Metal, Red Faction, and Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier. Probably gonna use Panzer General and GTA3 for some trade in at a retro game store opening tomorrow.

Just grabbed Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes because I was dodging spoilers all day, and I'll be damned if I allow someone to ruin it for me....

Picked up Just Cause 2 the other day. It's not a bad game, if you're playing it just to fly around and such. Otherwise it's pretty mediocre :p
