Star Wars Black Series - Ahsoka Tano (Peridea) - Walgreens Extortion Prices

I had no intention of buying this figure, until I came across her at a Walgreens. I haven't been to Walgreens in awhile, and certainly their toy aisle has been lacking for years. Then I saw this, and thought, I could add that to the collection. Went to the register and she rang up for $31.99. What the heck? I should have just left it there, but I didn't. Not sure what Walgreens was thinking. It's not even a deluxe figure. Oh well. Corporate America got a few more pennies from me. Argh.

Star Wars Power of the Force 2 - Freeze Frame Mail Aways

 Since I started buying up cheap POTF2 figures, I noticed some of the offers they had on the backs of the cards, particularly the figures that had Freeze Frame slides on the front. People stopped making slides back in the 80s. So why pack slides in with figures and what do you do with them? Well, Kenner also offered a Freeze Frame folder and a set of binoculars to view the slides. Each was a separate offer.

I picked up the folder on Ebay for cheap. Thank goodness it only cost kids one Proof of Purchase and $2 shipping. This was a flimsy plastic sheet that only held 12 slides. Kind of weird when the checklist had almost 40 figures that contained slides. 

The binos are kind of cool, though you can only load one slide in at a time. Still, both are kind of fun. Here they are along with some POTF2 figures along their original Kenner counterparts.

War of the Rohirrim Figures from McFarlane

Have never seen the movie. Of course McFarlane always has to do an odd scale, but these figures look pretty cool. I'll definitely have to watch it. The Ice Troll Build a Figure is awesome as well.
