Beatle’s Toybox

Decided to grab the Topps Now Wolverine on an impulse and this arrived on Friday! The SSP! One of my favorite comic covers from when I was a kid. Anyone else grabbing any of the Topps Now stuff?

Fathom Events presented Dawn of the Dead last night and my buddy and I had to go. He’d never seen it and I hadn’t seen it on the big screen. Only a couple people in the theater so it was like a private screening. Also liked the retro pricing. Only $8 for a ticket! Was a great experience overall.

Some of the cooler pieces in my vhs collection: German Copies of Gremlins and Fifth Element. A buddy who lives on the Netherlands grabbed them for me. Now I just need a vcr that can play them.

Picked up my favorite soundtrack at auction yesterday. Overpayed a bit for it, but fianlly have a copy on vinyl. Cover is a well loved and I haven’t tested the record yet. Hoping it plays but mostly wanted a copy to put on display.

Tabled at the Salem Pop Up comic swap on Saturday. Didn’t realize that I had one of these in my dollar bin until a dude pulled it out and bought it. He did ask if I wanted to keep it but I didn’t want to be “that guy” so he got a smoking deal. At least he bought some other stuff too.

Set up at a comic swap at the local mall on Saturday. Didn’t go too crazy but did fond a few cool things.

Haven’t been actively hunting lately but this popped up on marketplace for a good price and it wasn’t out of my way so I grabbed it. Who doesn’t need a Popple backpack?

Hit the thrift stores last weekend and found some sweet decorations/lawn care items. Just in time for the spooky season.

Dreamt that I found a couple of card pages in the bins and one had an Eureka. I woke up and realized it was my lame brain giving zero effort. But, I swung by Matt’s Calvacade of Comics today and was surprised to find this box for an affordable price. It’s no Eureka, but at least it’s real.

Kids and I drove up to Powells after work to meet the great Stephan Pastis and Will Henry. Got a couple doodles done and they signed my copy of their new book. It was a good time.

I liked Werewolves but apparently many on @letterboxd.social did not. I gave it a 3 while the average score was a 2.

Found these at the bins the other day and had to grab them. Found out from some fellow tribal members that the tapes were old security tapes that were deleted and given away for home use. I decided to check and one was still blank while the other was reused as a security tape in a local courthouse

Catch and release

Added a new CYOA to my collection today. Never seen this version before. How about my other Choose Your Own Adventure aficionados?

Was vending at a card show yesterday and while my sales were okay, the trading was 🔥🔥🔥 Some of my cooler finds:

You look like you could really use this. You are welcome. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Decided to read this for my four hour flight home. First time reading anything by @crobertcargill.bsky.social

Hit up the bins for the first time in a while and scored a pile of some of the cooler recent Happy Meal toys.

Hit the theaters a lot more lately. #lastfourwatched

Happy Father’s Day to those who observe.

The culling of the collections continues….

Just watched Backrooms with my daughter and really enjoyed it. The music and settings really made me uncomfortable and the oddness and bad decisions by most of the characters really added to that discomfort. I have no background with the creepy pasta so it was all new to me.

Okay, looking at the pics I could find online they don’t look that similar, but for some reason during Masters of the Universe, all I could think of was Katee Sackoff. Something about his facial expressions I think.

Went to see Masters of the Universe today and was surprised to see that most seats were taken, but when the show started many were empty. Also noticed that Regal had a sign saying that they were enforcing the ratings restrictions for Backrooms and Obsession. I’m sure these two things are unrelated.

More about our groundbreaking event yesterday.

The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde took a significant step Thursday in their decades-long journey of returning to Willamette Falls. The tribe broke ground on the infrastructure needed to launch the first phase of tumwata village.

My people ❤️

Saw these at Safeway the other day but couldn’t justify $4 for a small bag of gummies. Maybe I’ll find them on clearance at sone point.

What do I do with over 100 vintage Christmas sweaters?

Going through a large collection of vintage Christmas/Holiday sweaters and I discovered this 26 year old piece of art. Love the sparklies.

Bought a bunch of stuff I don’t need at the auction yesterday. But it was a fun time.

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?”

I just found out about this film and really want to see it but the nearest showing is in an artsy theater that is about an hour and a half out of my way.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle

Looking forward to watching this when it comes out. I am not invested in the lore whatsoever which irks both my daughter and niece who keep trying to push me into catching up on it. I told them that if I need to know all the backstory to understand the movie, then it’s not a good movie.

Set up at the flea yesterday. No helpers, so my ability to shop was limited. Even so, i did manage to find a few treasures. Excited to watch Monster High. Never heard of it before yesterday,, and it looks kinda crazy.

Picked up some sweet pulp from Saint Vinnies yesterday. One of my favorite places to hunt for vintage books.

Had a great time at the OSU salmon bake today. Got to see some friends and Its always fun to see how much the campus has changed since I was a kid.
