Good afternoon Pixlpeeps! Earlier this morning I was out and about because the battery in the truck needed to be charged up while driving so in between my stops at Treasure Hunt and Walmart I made a drive around the town for 15 minutes. Now I do this because before Christmas I thought the battery died when I was leaving a store and the good people of AAA said weather can be a factor especially since it’s California Cold (it was 50° with constant rain yesterday). I am here to catch you good people up on what went on during Christmas.

First up my Nativity Scene. Christmas on Hoth got updated a bit so here are the new additions:

01  

I actually have a nativity scene now. We have Han, Princess Leia, the three wise-men played by various Iron Man suits, a random droid, a baby, and next to the baby the San Diego Padres Swinging Friar mascot and Mr. Padre himself Tony Gwynn.

02  

03  

The other side is part of the Christmas tree, Deadpool playing DJ with Tiger Woods and Tony Stark (behind Deadpool). Also in the hot tub is Playboy Batman, Slave Leia, and the two women from The Big Bang Theory.

04  

To the side of the hutub is a stoner and his dog pointing at well a stoner and his dog.

 

Christmas was fun. We had another celebration earlier in the week with some family from out of town, and this Christmas it was a small gathering of family. We ate way too much, I grilled some steak this year instead of going full on prime rib, told stories, joked and just enjoyed the company. Remember that stack of games I bought awhile ago? Well I threw them under the tree so I have some gifts, but Santa snuck a couple of envelopes on the tree for yours truly.

 

So what did Santa bring me? Well he gave me cash and that is going to be put towards a cool toy in 2020. I also bought some stuff the week before Christmas, and earlier today (thanks Clearance aisles at Walmart)

Games

05  

Weapons for my Starlink. It was $4 which is pricy but I don’t see them locally and I don’t know if GameStop online has them.

 

Music

I bought Dr. Dre’s The Aftermath from eBay. I had a coupon for $5 and the CD was $4.XX after takes and free shipping. Apparently my coupon doesn’t cover tax so I was on the hook for $.44 cents.

 

Toys

Ok so from Treasure Hunt I got more DC Primal Age figures for around $3 each figure

07  

06  

I also got Batman’s Giant Dog/Wolf for $3

08  

I am most likely going to order the rest of both series on Amazon. I may also get the Batman Castle *cough Fake Castle Greyskull cough*. Also I was trying to get regular Batman and Variant Colorway Batman to fit on the same animal. Spoiler: these figures don't sit well on this guy.

09  

I also bought a box of Panini NFL Stickers for $3, and another Tony Gwynn Oyo for $2.50.

 

From the Walmart Christmas Clearance Aisle I picked up the following Lego sets

10  

11  

12  

It looks like I have to rebuild my Lego Forest Police Station set to go with the camp ground and Fifth Wheel set. Also my Star Wars Endor sets are about to get weird.

 

Since I bought the Lego sets I have to wait a bit to buy another external drive to back up all the 2019 stuff I did.

 

Alright Pixlpeeps I am off. I have some Lego sets to build, some games to play, and if I hurry with editing and uploading this blog I can watch Jerry Springer (the local channel shows old episodes that lead up to the Judge Jerry Show). Have a good weekend!

That’s all for now, more later!

-Chris

Han and Chewie meeting Shaggy and Scooby Doo is pretty funny. It makes me think of that show Robot Chicken I watched years ago. 

I found a Gamestop near me with the Starlink weapon sets. They're not on sale at the moment though. I'll wait. 

I like the idea of dioramas at Christmas. I've been thinking of one I might do next year.

One of my brothers got a big LEGO set that's the Saturn V rocket!

I got some games I wanted, including Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Crash Team Racing remake, and Killer Queen Black.  I also got two Kirby plushes.  One is a Christmas one and the other is a pet bed but you can use it as a pillow and just stick your head inside his mouth!  Very weird!
