It's been awhile. I hadn't posted on UMA for a few months, but I read about it here to go hunt it. I figured I'd mention it since I started posting again. Absolutely awesome value for 20 bucks!

Robby is still available at Walmarts'  in my town. I picked up two of them. Good score.

Yeah, Robby and Iron Giant are still around down here in Florida too.

Yeah. The Toy Scalpers' haven't raided the toy aisle for Robby or the newly released retro Ghost Buster figures.

Yeah, Walmart has the buying power to order so many that it actually overwhelmed the scalpers and left plenty available for a long time at original retail (which is a fantastic deal)!

WM catches a lot of flak but I applaud them for overwhelming the damned scalpers.  ;D

I dunno if the Ghostbusters not flying off the shelf is because they have a lot, or if it's because the interest is low because we just came off the Diamond Select stuff, and the Mattel stuff before that.  Both of which were pretty comprehensive.

A few trinkets that came in the mail today.

On the left, another enamel pin and a matching patch, from Rock Rebel. And from Future Monsters, yet another enamel pin and 3 stickers. For scale, the largest sticker is 3.5" x 4.5".

The Future Monsters items are all unlicensed, but I thought they were nice looking (and cheap), so I bought them anyway. The 2 "Keep the Lagoon Clean" items were inspired by this '70s iron-on and it's matching poster.
