Latest Gets?

[SpeedierThantheGrave]

All you did was ask nicely? You must be a real charmer! I just wish they would get the toy in!

Haha I suppose I am... I'm just friendly and enthusiastic.  And as I've gotten older and more confident, I've become a firm believer in "They can't say 'No' if you don't ask."  It's worked out pretty well so far.

(Also, this was a notoriously bad Walmart, the employees genuinely can't care any less.)

Great score. I usually ask for the Halloween DVD display cards from Walmart, and the clerk(s) give them to me.

I bought these from Retro-a-go-go last month.

Fun House Devil Mini Monster:


18" Jointed Hanger (which was included with the Mini Monster):


Creature Crate Vinyl Sticker (4" across):


I like the Retro-a-go-go designs but the products are a little pricey. Also, I wish they offered the masks in standard size like Super 7 does. The big masks are too big to easily display and the Mini Monsters are too small for my taste (though the jointed hangers make the Mini Monsters a much more attractive purchase). Still, that Fun House Devil was too cool to pass on.

Creature Crate Vinyl Sticker (4" across):

I bought one of those, too.

Too bad Aurora didn't give us a Creature's Crate along with Frankenstein's Flivver and the rest of those Monster Rods. Or, at least a more recent release by a company like Moebius or maybe Monarch.

Too bad Aurora didn't give us a Creature's Crate along with Frankenstein's Flivver . . .

I've seen a couple of garage kits (or bashed kits), but that's as close as it get's.

Received the Halloween figure set today from Fright Rags. Very cool packaging.
Will open them and display when I figure out where they will be going!

This new Walmart Exclusive Alien set. I repainted the first xenomorph from its original pearly white, to an oily, metallic green. For $20 you can't beat it!

Great looking set and just wish we had that on sale over here in the UK.

I thought Walmart had invaded every corner of the globe!

No, not us yet although thinking about it they might own the Uk Asda chain so there might still be a hope of this turning up.

Grabbed more Halloween decor from Target last month:







Also got a black shiny skull and some giant plastic flies. The big bugs are around 6" long and look cool amongst the monster stuff. I've loved those things since I was a kid (Creepy Crawlers!). I may use some of the big bugs in a custom playset at some point ('50s monster movie/Hamilton's Invaders big bug invasion themed).

2 new titles for the monster game shelf:



Gremlins: Holiday Havoc

This one looks like a pretty light little reflex card game.  Goal is to have the most cards in your pile after 2 daylight cards are revealed.  You look out for matching pairs of gremlins and try to slap one of them, scoring them and any cards underneath them.  I doubt it's amazing, but it's only like $7.  From Funko Games.



Unmatched: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Another Unmatched set that's not quite as appropriate as the classic monster offerings from the Cobble & Fog release, but it's still horror, so It's worth a mention.  This set comes with 4 new fighters: Buffy, Angel, Spike, and Willow.  Each fighter comes with a sidekick in this set.  Spike comes with Drusilla, Angel comes with the anti-hero slayer Faith, Willow comes with her doomed lover Tara, and Buffy has the option of bringing her watcher Giles or her pal Xander to the fight.  I'm mostly getting this because my mom was a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie and then the show) and it was nice to get it because it reminded me of her, otherwise I might have skipped it as the show doesn't do much for me personally.  But as usual, the production value is top notch, the minis and art are excellent.  If you like Buffy and want a light game with 2-4 players, Unmatched is highly recommended.
