Few more goodies found their way to me for OTBD! 3 "packs" of 5finity Moonstone Maximum, and a box of 25 Years of Red Sonja. I should have some more by Saturday. :P

I left out one - Shrek 3. So now I have 4 and including Shrek 3, Indy, HP HBP & Scooby Doo.

I'm working nights this week so too tired to be tempted in opening the other boxes. Big Grin

Very jealous of you though. I love Iron Man.....

Well, I'm all set for OTBD on Saturday. My two boxes are in and I'm good to go Thumb Up

I checked Dollar Tree again for some Marvel Masterpiece packs today but had no luck. I also checked my local Wal Mart but they basically had nothing non sport wise other that Pokemon stuff.

I hope everyone has some real nice pulls on Saturday Wave

Cool, except I do believe that we have been doing this for a few years now, not just last year.

Don't forget that tomorrow is Open That Box! day. More details on what Open That Box! day is here. Hope to see lots of submissions. If you are able to, please post pictures too. If you do, please send me the originals and if space permits, we may use some in the magazine. Do keep in mind that for the magazine, we need the original high resolution pictures -- stuff for the web does not work well in print.

And for any of you really ambitious types, feel free to post videos of your breaks on YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, etc.

Thanks.

Picked up a box of Indiana Jones Masterpieces yesterday so I'm ready! I may have to open it at midnight tonight because I don't know if I'm going to have any time tomorrow.

I actually have more than one box to open this year, so it might be a while before I post anything in the forum. I am definitely looking forward to opening all three boxes. (Two Women of Star Trek and a really cheap Wolverine box I got on clearance) Will post my results later!

I'm enjoying the submissions so far. Hope others are as well. Keep them coming. Big Grin

Don't forget to send me pictures everyone (originals please). I'm mainly interested in people (and pet) shots rather then cards scans/pictures. As I said, if space permits, we'll use them in the magazine. And if nothing else, I'll keep them on file for next year.

Thanks.
