I just got back from a much needed vacation to Chicago. For the third time since 2011 , I attended the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. C2E2, as it's called, has become one of my favorite comic events to attend.
All in Comics & Toys
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Signing
To this day, my favorite, and arguably the best, comic book / cartoon / movie / toy lines is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I still have vivid memories of being a young kid in the toy aisle of this store called Roses, seeing those first toys on the pegs.
July 2013 Loot Crate Unboxing
Sorry I'm a bit late on this unboxing. I had knee surgery on the 19th, and hadn't had a chance to get to it quite yet. The theme for July is "Varsity". That fits with the fact that it's largely a "Video Game High School" (VGHS) themed box.
June 2013 Loot Crate Unboxing
I came home from our weekend away in Syracuse to find the June 2013 Loot Crate waiting at my door. Score! The topic this month was MASHUP and we have seen some pretty rad mashup posts from the Loot Crate crew on their Facebook page leading up to this months delivery.
May 2013 Loot Crate UnCrating
A bit different look for the crate this month. There wasn't really any high-end item like the previous couple months with the Funko and Kid-Robot toys. Still, it was a pretty nice box, and I finally got my loot crate ID card!
2013 Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo
This post is quite a bit late in coming, but I wanted to revisit my awesome weekend in Chicago. I had originally planned on going to this show's sister show, the New York Comic Con this past October. But due to having my place to stay fall through and it being absurdly expensive to get a motel room in Manhattan, I had to call it off.
March 2013 Lootcrate Unboxing
Today I received my first ever Loot Crate. If you don't know what that is, it's ok. You soon will. Loot Crate is a monthly subscription box service where they ship you a box of cool geek / gamer culture related items.
My Collection Obsession
Ever since I was young, I've had a bit of an obsession with toys. Especially action figures. Being a child of the 80's I grew up with the like of He-Man and She-Ra, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, Silverhawks, GI Joe, and Voltron to name but a very few.
