Returning to Inside the Mind of a Toy Addict Part 1 - The Problem Persists

A couple of notes before starting:
A) Jeff the Landshark is almost always on the Rotating Marvel Shelf, because the three of us (mostly the two of us) can't help ourselves.

B) There will be multiple "all of them" pictures where I regularly (and many would say foolishly) assumed, "Well there won't be any more additions to that shelf."

C) As should be crystal clear by now, I still have a problem.

It’s been a little over a year since the survey of my addiction driven collection.
Unsurprisingly it has grown. 

When last we left the gang, I was celebrating the wonderous arrival of Doctor Octopus. It was well over a month later that he and the rest of the Sinister Six  (the "creepy old men" as Anabelle calls Spider-Man's foes) could proudly grace the living room's Rotating Marvel Shelf.

Transformers Rewatch Original Season 4A

The Rebirth 
(Transformers Generation One Finale)
A bit of back story is needed for this "season" first:
Instead of ending on the (while not a perfect note) complete feeling finale of Season Three, or making another full season to flesh out the huge amount of new toys they were plugging, Hasbro cheaped out. 

Not only did they not fund a full collection of episodes, they also refused to spend enough to make a movie length five-parter. At three parts, without bumpers, recaps and coming attractions AND including only one set of each credits, that’s one hour and one minute of screen time. During this miniscule time span they introduced FORTY-THREE of their new characters. That’s about 1.4 characters per minute. Rather than have the entire set of reactions be “who the heck is that?” I’ll try to focus on people we know.

Maybe Keep That On the Borderlands

 

When I started playing Dungeons and Dragons at age ten, Module B2 The Keep on the Borderlands was the first adventure every one of us fledgling players knew. It was packaged in with the Basic Set at the time and served as our introduction to the game.

Second Part of Sandman... In Two Sections, with Two Parts Each, Plus another Part.


I have been trying to write this for weeks, but I keep coming back to: 
"damn that was good." 
Therefore, this may be a bit disjointed.

Transformers Rewatch Original Season 3I

Money Is Everything
We have the introduction of a Dollar Store Han Solo for the franchise. 
Not even a Dollar Store Harrison Ford. 
He looks more like Dollar Store Perry King Radio Series Han Solo.
