Toys to Life Binge

Couldn't stop thinking about the Midway Arcade Level Pack I wanted from Lego Dimensions, plus I was bored, so I went to Toys R Us hoping they still had their sale. They didn't. So I went to BestBuy around the corner. They did. I got it for $17 instead of $30. Yeah!

While I was there, I saw the Thumpin' Wumpa Islands adventure pack with Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex for Skylanders Imaginators. It was the last one, so I decided to buy it at full price. What am I thinking? Well, the promise of some old school adventure platform gameplay in that cartoony style with some new Skylander twists hooked me. Turned out though, they wouldn't let me buy it because it wasn't in their system anymore. What? Fine. So I went back to Toys R Us and got it there, but I added the Gryphon Park Observatory adventure pack as well. What AM I thinking? I guess I'm worried these adventure packs will get hard to find down the road since Gamestop isn't taking any more used Skylanders figures. 

There's one more Imaginators adventure pack I'd like to have, The Enchanted Elven Forest. I haven't seen it around yet, but it just came out. I'll get it when I see it. These adventure packs are cool because they are like DLC. They have whole new worlds to explore in them. I'm being real choosey with the figures so far. I've only got one, Chopscotch. I'm only getting one if it really seems unique and interesting. I looked through them today and mostly they, the sensei's, seem like iterations on previous figures. 

Well, I could continue with my Diablo III playing I did yesterday, but I'll save that for this weekend because I'll be doing much more of that then. 

KnightDriver out. 

Oh yeah: Star Wars: Rogue One tomorrow! Yeah!

The Midway Arcade Pack for LEGO Dimensions is so weird. I got to review it.

I'd like to find the Crash Bandicoot Skylanders but I haven't seen them in stores yet.

Let me know if you ever find the Barbella Skylander because I thought that one was kind of cool, too.

I'm going to see Rogue One with my family on Sunday evening.  I liked the first preview they showed because the alarm in the background sounded like an elephant.  So I'm going to be looking for elephants in the movie on Sunday.

It has all these Midway arcade games in it. I wonder what that's like. 

That's probably why BestBuy didn't have it in their system yet. I probably got there, unknowingly, the day they came out. 

I might have. I'm not sure now. Toys R Us had a lot more of them than last time I went in there around Thanksgiving. 

I saw the robot in one of the trailers and immediately thought of HK-47 from the Knights of the Old Republic game. I wonder if it will be naughty like HK-47, or nice like C3PO. It looks kind of not so nice.

Yeah Best Buy is currently running the best deal for Dimensions stuff. I should have taken advantage of it but some Christmas shopping got in the way. Did your local Toys R Us have a deal with Infinity figures where if you buy 1, get three free? There's a bin at the local store and its full.

Yea, I saw that, but I have so many of them now. I could've searched the bin for a few I don't have, but I'm not so completionist with that stuff like I was with Skylanders.
