Stopped at Toys R Us today. They still aren't marking stuff down by much, although it seems more like 20-40% storewide (excluding consoles and Lego). I picked up a large Metroid figure (which is going to need a flight stand of some sort) that I plan to display with my figma Samus. (Again, still kicking myself for not getting a Bowser years ago from that same line.) Otherwise I picked up Diablo 3 for $3.50.... although I'm not sure whether or not I previously bought the game (and, if I did, it might have been even cheaper), which is a problem with queues.

And I picked up some Mystery Minis on clearance from Gamestop. Got a movie Aquaman (thought it was going to be something else but actually kinda liking the look of it and a Thor 3 Valkyrie (which I'm also kinda liking the look -- in general, really wanted the Hulk but pulled a Thor the first time I tried). Almost wound up getting a LoL MM or two, but then figured I don't even care about that franchise and the odds of me getting something I might like are next to nil.

Who knew Power Rangers was worth half a billion dollars?

Uh, everybody? Just look at the amount of merch they're *still* able to sell, and a lot of it isn't terribly great. The one downside is that it probably kills their deal with Bandai. (Then again, I never bought a full set of *any* of the Rangers so I can't build any of the BAFs--- for which I largely blame Bandai for its shitty practice of breaking up BAFs between waves. Really kicking myself in general, although I guess I could overpay for some of the stuff.)

The only real surprise that they had the rights to My Pet Monster. Although it's mentioned by name, I doubt we're going to see a resurgence any time soon so children of the world will be limited to what they can find used on ebay, etc.
