Master Splinter? I was tempted to ask the homeowners if they were Ninja Turtle fans but decided against it. They probably would have looked at me as if I were crazy. Yeah, I'm not the one with a Ninja Rat in my driveway! (But I totally would be if the wife let me.)

Splinter Taught Them To Be...Garden Greens?
Out Garage Sale-ing today and came across this statue cemented into a home's landscaping:

Iron Man 3 Swag!
I just won a pile of Iron Man 3 swag from ActionFigurePics.com!
A helmet, a shooting hand thingy, two action figures and two Micro Muggs!
My intern is impressed!
The helmet fires missiles from the side. Looks like I'll be Iron Man for Halloween this year!
These Assemblers are pretty neat with their interchangeable parts. I'll be opening them up and looking at them more closely soon.
I got the Mark 42 and War Machine.
The Micro Muggs are blind packed, I ended up with Maskless Iron Man and Ironless Iron Man, aka Tony Stark. Fun!
'I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. BubbaShelby.'
'I said CLOSE-UP!'
Interns...you get what you pay for!
Thanks to AFP for this fun Iron Man 3 prize package!

Random Toy Pic :: I love the smell of kibble in the morning...
Cue 'Ride of the Valkyries'
I pick up classic Fisher-Price Little People and accessories for my daughter from the flea market whenever I find them cheap and in good condition.The Helicopter and Dog came from two separate trips, but each cost me a quarter. The Dog has a yellow collar so I felt he matched the helicopter nicely and makes for a good pilot.

Star Trek Kre-O Blind Bag Minifigures and Codes!
In anticipation of Star Trek: Into Darkness, Hasbro via their Kre-O line has already released multiple building block sets - as well as a series of Blind Bagged minifigures!
I used the 'squeeze method' to find the two I needed: A Klingon and a Gorn (or is it just Gorn? Mr. Gorn perhaps? Maybe Ms. Gorn? I don't know.)
Gorn is pretty impressive. He has the 'Alien' build that makes him a great extraterrestrial minifigure, as well as great custom fodder.
He also has a very cool weapon.
'Bring it on, Captain Jerk!'
Of course I also had to have the Klingon. He has that ubiquitous Klingon weapon that I don't feel like looking up right now, as well as a cool jacket.
He's apparently also wearing a helmet, which may be the new Star Trek's way of bridging the smooth headed Klingons of the original series with the lumpy headed Klingons of TNG.
FIGHT!
Each package has a unique set of two numbers on the back upper right of the package, which leads with '30711' on all of them.
The Klingon was 30711 08 and Gorn was 30711 09. Or maybe it was the other way around, I got the packages mixed up when I opened them. Regardless, you will be able to tell because Gorn has those massive legs, and their weapons are unique too. So you might have to squeeze a little bit, but not too much ;)

Brief Update
I've had a busy week and have an all new schedule to get the hang of, but once I do I will be back to the high quality blogging content you all are used to. In the meantime: A Stormtrooper in her skivvies:
Oh, I had also set the comments to G+ but realized that's dumb because it only allows G+ users to comment and they don't even appear on the blog. So if you commented on anything over the past week it's probably gone (or in G+ where nobody goes anyways so same difference), but others not drinkin' the Google Plus Kool-Aid should be able to comment again now. Sorry about that.

May the 4th Be With You!
Hope everyone enjoyed May the 4th as much as I did. Saw Iron-Man 3 (great end to the trilogy!), went to my LCS for Free Comic Book Day, and watched some Star Wars movies at home into the evening.
I found this Lego Tauntaun last weekend at a flea market for a quarter. I figure the Empire would use them too in cold climates, so I added a Lego Snowtrooper.
