Halloween stuff already in stores...

[Mike Scott]

OK got Mike his lollipops and even the display tray they come in. Do you think he will eat one or just stare at them for years?

Definitely won't be eating them.

High quality might be a bit of an exaggeration but they are at least middling to good quality, and I passed on the poor quality paper products.

I just think they're better than some of the half-assed stuff that actually gets released. That four character tray is exceptional.

Are you telling me this isn't the height of exceptional product licensed by Universal? Man--you are picky.

 Oops, sorry, forgot about that beauty

Their stuff is really nice... especially for the price.  I can't wait to receive my Pretorious platter.

I thought the World Markets around here were just on corporate's dookie list, as I haven't seen half this cool stuff yet.  But after picking the lady manager's brain she confirmed that stuff is still coming in (sodas are due tonight).  So I guess just keep an eye out for more goodies.

While I was there I grabbed a few Creature pops, missed them on the first visit.

Congrats.

I'm going to check the World Market in Chattaboogie tomorrow. I hope that store isn't on the list. *crosses claws*

Maybe it's just me, but this wall of pails just looked so glorious.

Yep. It does, Speed. 

I bought an example of each color and style last year. Some deep-down Monsterkid urge makes me want to horde these things, but I fight that urge because I would run out of room PDQ. I feel a little blow mold crazy this year.. ordered a few BM things online and bought a giant blow mold candy bucket today. That's all I need now is to get hooked on those space eating blow molds  .. but, damn, I just love those things.

Made a Halloween run today and got this stuff:



Went to World Market and all they had was last year's UniMon stuff and the new soda bottles. I did get some Shipyard Pumpkinhead, but I was hoping for Newcastle Werewolf. The Werewolf is damn fine. Gotta check WM again next month.

Hit four Walmarts and found no blow mold JOL lamps, and no monster cereal. Rats.

Got that beyotchin' giant rubber vampire bat at Party City. That thing has a wingspan of over 2 ft! They tried to overcharge by 2 bucks at the register but I called 'em on it and got it for $7.99. I wonder how many things mysteriously ring up more at the register than what they're marked on the rack.  Folks who check out with a bunch of junk might not catch it. Very uncool.

Got that little Hween snowglobe and the 3 hanging paper monsters at Dollar Tree.

Got the monster cereals and treats at CVS. Also got that black skull candelabra there. That thing is metal. Gonna get some orange candles for it.

Target had maybe the best scores of the day: That gigantic blow mold JOL candy bucket, and the skeletal crow and rat. The crow's hogging the shot. All three of those were 6 bucks each.

I looked for the Crazy Bonez Skeletal Vulture all day but no dice. I suspected as much so I ordered it online yesterday. The buzzards are the coolest of the skeletal animals by far and all the cheap places online are sold out. They are available a few places and Amazon and ebay, but the ones that are left end up being around $28-$30. I made up my mind not to miss out on that vulture so mine is on it's way. Now if I could just find those blow mold retro lamps at Walmart...

 Has anybody seen that four character "Bride" tray in the stores yet? If the lunchbox doesn't get released, that may be the best Uni item this year.

Shipyard! Best pumpkin beer, in my opinion. Nice haul too!
