Toy de Jour (280) - The Lego Movie blind bag figures

The first two we got were the orange main character guy and a gentleman wearing a sombrero, a poncho and holding a plate of chips. He also has quite an impressive mustache. I've also got the guy wearing a panda suit in hopes of stealing a panda baby, Abe Lincoln (that was later turned into an awesome Lincoln-bot) and the backwoods robot guy. Lego has a great thing going with the blind bags and with an awesome movie lined up I don't foresee an end to the blind bag figures any time soon. 

Toy de Jour (279) - Transformers Kreo Springer

I've always loved the character which is weird because I've never owned the G1 figure, though that may be the entire reason why I like him so much. My friend Andrew gave me an extra he had so I got the chance to put him up on the site. I love that he's an Autobot but has a frowning face. I'm a fan of a grumpy good guy. 

Toy de Jour (278) - Marx Disney figures (Donald Duck & Pinocchio)

For about the last two years or so I've really been into solid-color toys. I was super excited when I found the first of these two figures at Joe con this year in Indianapolis. I got Donald for in a junk box for pretty cheap and the Pinocchio we picked up at a weird flea market in Washington while driving to see the Kurt Cobain memorial park. 

Each character was made in numerous colors and they made a handful of figures so if you were going to collect all of them you'd have quite a lot of figures to hunt down in various colors. These are not too expensive on eBay, so I think we'll just pick these up when we see them in random spots. But nothing's stopping you from heading on over to eBay...

Toy de Jour (277) - G.I. Joe Kreon single packs (Wave 2)

So having the codes for the figures helps, but having a Toys R Us that refuses to stock anything doesn't. These figures have been out for quite some time and it took me approximately 500 trips to TRU to finally end up there on a day when they had stock these guys. I was able to snag one while in Rhode Island a couple weeks back (as well as an open Blowtorch that was at the register) but now after this haul I have all but the B.A.T. figure. Here's a few of the better figures from this wave.

Pictured are Snowjob, Mutt & Junkyard, Blowtorch, Ripper, Dr. Mindbender, Eels, Major Bludd and my favorite; Tunnel Rat. I should add, Major Bludd is a great figure too. A real surprise winner.
