R.I.P. Alan Rickman.

I've enjoyed you in many films over the years, Love Actually, Sweeney Todd, Die Hard, to name just a few. Your portrayal of Snape in the Harry Potter films was a stand out. R.I.P.

R.I.P. David Bowie

I can't even count how many times I have listened to your songs and records through out my life. You have always been one of my favorites. There will be a void in the world without you.

"Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)"

Jabba 3 Pack

I recently started collecting Funko Pop Vinyl bobble heads. I decided to keep my collecting limited to just their Star Wars line for now.  Sometime around Christmas I was out shopping at a local Walmart and came across the Jabba, Leia, & Salacious B. Crumb 3 pack. The box was wrecked. The set was $40, and I didn't want to pay that much for it with the box in the condition it was in. I decided to pass it up. I was sure I would see it again somewhere else. BIG MISTAKE. I didn't realize it was a Walmart exclusive. After the holidays were behind me I figured it was time to hunt this down.  I have been driving around all over North East Ohio trying to find it. I never thought it would be this hard to find.  It seems Funko exclusives sell out quickly, and then sell for inflated prices on the secondary market. I probably went to 10-15 different Walmart stores over the last 2 weeks. Yesterday I finally found it! The box was not perfect, but it was in much better shape than the box I originally saw. Plus I had a gift card to use that I received over the holidays. All said I spent 3 dollars and change for it. I guess it worked out in the end. Check another Pop off my list.

I thought about starting a blog many times, but never got around to doing it. So, here I go.  I'm going to give this a shot. You can expect me to post about these topics in the future: collecting, gaming, movies, tv, and more.
