The Travels of Johnny Thunder (a travel blog)

Here is a little travel blog I've been doing for several years now. It started with just Johnny, but as the family grew, the traveling figures did too.

BI Joe: TerrorDrome

Been working on this for a few months now. I'm planning to make it the centerpiece of a large GI Joe display, with the Joes attacking the Cobra Fortress: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5546/11657443074_7642c9a40d_t.jpg It includes a firebat , some crimson guards, Major Bludd and my take on a Cobra So...

I'd be a shame not to pick up the set and then miss out on it over $5.

Quinjet is a nice set. I didn't think it would be very good, but I quite liked it.

Re: ToysRUs USA Red Hot Deals Until LEGO Black Friday 2013

The local TRU (Arden in Sacramento) refused to give me the Y-Wing price and said it was only for Black Friday.
The ad, however seems to limit the Y-Wing to Wednesday and the Creationary to Tuesday.

Re: USA Toys R Us LEGO Sale - 38% off TMNT Baxter Robot Ramp

Gah, TRU's inflated prices just grate on me something terrible. To say that $17.50 is half off the Desert Skiff is outrageous, it is not $35 dollars regular priced; its $25. :down:

Let's hope amazon does some price matching... :up:

Re: The Second Massive November 2013 LEGO Sale at Amazon USA

Good sales on the Castle stuff and I still can't bring myself to buy them. I'm usually a huge castle fan, but they're just missing that little spark of magic (that je nais se quoi , if you will) somehow. I can't even explain how. Maybe its that they are obviously just retools of very recent sets...?...

Re: Target: LotR Pirate Ship $69.99

It was back at full price at the two Targets I visited today. Haven't been back to the original one to see if it was still reduced or back to full price. One Target had the Friends storage case for $5 (regularly $19.99) which comes with a green 32x32 baseplate too. Also buy 2 get 1 free on all video...

Target: LotR Pirate Ship $69.99

Target is selling the LotR pirate ship for $69.99. Its 30% off the original MSRP. No special sale tag or anything. Just a little shelf tag as if it was the normal price.

Re: Walmart.com messed up with crazy low pricing

Did anyone successfully snag a LotR pirate ship they'd be willing to sell to me at cost? Or even double cost? :angel:
