Action Figure Palooza: new Marvel Legends 2 Packs



So I went to my local Toys R Us not expecting to find anything new but was I surprised. They had these new Marvel marbles and a stand in a brand new box, none of the marbles were missing - a complete set. Wow! Unfortunately, they are pretty crappy and one more thing I DON'T need to start collecting. Some Marvel Legends 2 packs were sitting on the shelf as well and I just assumed they were the Elektra/Ronin and/or Mr. Fantastic/Thing sets that someone found in the back. Well, when I saw a red Hand Ninja and Nick Fury AND Skrull solider and Kree solider sets, I just about peed my pants. Too bad they didn't have the Iron Man/Maria Hill set too but I ain't complaining!

Musical Discovery of the Month: My First Earthquake

They don't have a video for their excellent song Vow to Vowels yet but I did find this gem on YouTube. It's like a B-52's song written by "Weird Al" Yankovic! It's so 1980's! The only thing that tells you it was recorded in 2008 is the Apple laptop. Hopefully this is a band on the brink of making it big. Unique lyrics and catchy hooks - Break out the parachute pants!
