Infinity Release

So I started college on August 17th. The day before Disney's Infinity was to be released. On the second day of college I took a trip to NYC. Unbeknownst to me, there was a big event going on in Time Square for the release of Infinity! And I was there! Here is a picture of them setting up the display:

Unfortunately I could not stay for more than a few minutes as I was with a group of students for orientation. :( I'm also sorry this post took so long. Being in college has made me exhausted and frankly I didn't have the time. But now that I'm so close to NYC you will definitely see more of this kind of stuff. Like when I go to Comic Con!!

Here's a picture I didn't take. Looks like I was there way before the crowd was...

Skylanders: Swap Force

Maybe you've heard that a new Skylanders game is being released November of 2013... Well yeah. Yipee. Anyway, this game features new characters that have swappable torsos and bottoms. The game also has a new portal you'll have to get, but it is backwards compatible with the old figures. You can look up more on darkspyro.net or www.skylanders.com/swapforce.

In other news, I'm going to the store today to try and find Molten Hot Dog. Maybe even a Jade Flashwing, Polar Whirlwind, or Scarlet Ninjini. Wish me luck!

Giants ARE OUT!!

Went to Best Buy today. I was the first one there, they were still stocking the shelves when I showed up. Here's some pictures:

Then I went to Toys R Us to pre-order the legendary triple pack... But they were already in stock and I snagged the last one!!

Here's what I actually managed to buy:

Crusher, Pop Fizz, Whirldwind, Trigger Happy from Best Buy

L-Bouncer, L-Ignitor, L-Slam Bam, L-Jet-Vac from TRU

My neighbor actually works at Best Buy, so from now on there's a good chance I'll be able to get the employee discount. TRU had a buy 1 get 1 40% off on all things Skylanders.

Also, my Best Buy is  hiring, so hopefully I'll get a job there.

Skylanders Chat Room

Since the chat tree on Skylanders is useless, and none of the developers seem to be taking my advice, I'm putting up a chat room on this site for Skylanders. If you are online, type your Portal Master name into the name box of the chat so people know who you are, and keep it open in another tab. It's not up as of this post, but it's going up soon and will be another page on the site.

Edit: Chat Room just got up! Please subscribe to my blog (right sidebar) and use it!!!!!


Also, I got Camo and the translucent red Drill Sergeant at Walmart yesterday and the day before respectively. :)
