I braved the Walmart near the house to see if they had the MH minis. I saw an empty rack that I think might hold the boxes if I'm remembering the display from Tumblr right, but it was completely empty so I don't know for sure. I even tried up front with the other little mini things. Sigh. Failure.

I did pick up two of the Megablok ghouls: Toralei and Twyla. All the Cleos were aggressively wonky. I also snagged a Civil War keychain. I wound up with Cap and Mom claimed him. (Also: bad, Marvel. Bad. I hope everyone who okayed the current shitstorm chokes on a LEGO.)

Not sure if I'm going to try and brave the one near work on Monday. On the one hand, I like to avoid stores on holidays because it's one less person buying stuff and if more people didn't go out on holidays to stores/places that need not be open, well, then they wouldn't be open. On the other hand, I want those minis.

^--- Yesterday.

Today the tropical whatever is busy rolling on through so it's rain city. Mom overslept so I didn't leave work til 40 minutes after I clocked out (of course) and then we swung by the kittens. I got pictures with the camera so look forward to that tomorrow or Tuesday. I'd do it today, but because I was still there half an hour after my shift ended, they had time to ask if I'd work earlier tonight and I agreed because a) I like getting off at 6am b) I'm trying to say yes to any scheduling changes I can say yes to so they'll remember how often I said "sure" when it comes to my needing time off in July c) I had no real reason to say no beyond "man, that last hour of sleep is amazing. No." :P

All the displays I've seen appear on Tumblr have been in the toy section so far, and the empty rack I saw looks like it would hold those long/tall boxes that have shown up in all the "look what I found!" posts. But yeah, I double checked the Magic/BB section up front, too. Which is a pain because I always feel like someone's gonna scream "shoplifter!" because it's behind a register. :p

I've been dying for these to get released and they were the one thing, aside from one of the reboot Lalas, I was sure I would love no matter what. So naturally... Walmart.

I never saw any of the second wave of Geek Shrieks. My BL still had most of W1 but never W2. I wish you better luck, madam! Did you have a good birthday? Do I need to kick kneecaps for you? Or send kitteny hugs?

I did leave a report in the birthday post, but rest assured it was a very "Amanda" birthday. :p This time emotionally exhausting as opposed to last year's physically exhausting.

Hey, ours, too! That or it's the weird dank corner line with all kinds of weirdos I have to squeeze between to look, and more often than not, I just forget to go look at it cause I'm just eager to get out.

Whoa, I don't even remember that Gigi and Catty, so I'm pretty sure that wave never saw the light of day here, either. Same with those kmart locker ones I forgot about until your post. What's with this stupid distribution set up??

So if last year was physically exhausting and this year was emotionally, that means that next year should be smooth sailing!

Heh, I feel you on the dank corner. By the time I'm up front, all I want is out. I think the one by work has all their stuff in a weird spot but I don't remember where. I just know it's impossible to get to without looking like you're trying to steal something.

Mattel very clearly doesn't want our money. That's the only thing I can think of for their distribution weirdness. One of these days I'll remember to check Tuesday Morning again.
