Happy Adora Day!

Here’s the link to the all-in-one sale page. I’ll admit it–Adora is the first MOTUC figure I’m pretty lukewarm about. I never watched She-Ra as a kid, so Adora is even less interesting to me than She-Ra. That said, I don’t regret having bought the subscription, and I certainly don’t begrudge She-Ra fans (like Rob [...]

Diamond, Mattel, and the DCUC 11 Pricing Mix-up

I’ve heard from several people that there appears to have been a pricing mix-up regarding Diamond’s order for DCUC 11, which is how most comic shops get their DCUC. So I checked into it. It seems that due to a pricing error, all orders for DCUC wave 11 are going to be canceled and then [...]

Paul’s Peg > The Friggen Big Frigate

Oh those crazy Lego builders are at it again, this time coming up with a Nebulon-B frigate from Star Wars with a length that measures four feet and six inches. That’s a pretty amazing accomplishment, if you can actually count this as an accomplishment worthy of praise as opposed to curing cancer or saving a [...]
