    Old PS1 games. Are video games technically considered toys, since this is a toy thread?

    Our local Target has a ton of Star Wars toys and figures on clearance sale. If you haven't been in a while, I recommend going and see if the same is going on at your Target.

    What I'm really sad about is they had the really expensive huge Tie Fighter but it was gone. So it looks like I missed it and someone else got it

    So far I have been able to get MU figures: Antman, Ares, Cyclops, Valkyrie, Beta Ray Bill and Deathlok at Five Below, which means $5 each, less than half price.

    Got my green magic effects for Enchantress.

    One small problem, if you are considering this, they do not fit snugly on the wrist. I had to slide them half way up the forearm, but they still look good.

    My Melody has arrived- a whole week before she's released in the stores. :D

    Melody and her accessories, and her dog!

    Another outfit, and an extra wig accessory. The wig needs some brushing!

    I already love her to pieces! I think she may end up as my favorite American Girl.

    A friend sent me the most amazing tiny dollhouse items! I did the two Star Trek pictures as a Thank you to her.

    And some close-ups, with a Cent coin so you can see how tiny it is. All the vegetables are lose and can be taken off the plates and cutting boards.

    I once saw pictures where someone had made a huge 2 Euro coin and then put it on top of telephone boxes or cars and photographed them from above, to make them look tiny. Amazing concept!

    My Quantum Mechanix Kirk finally beamed in and I had fun trying different hands, poses and angles.

    Um, wrong chair, but you get the picture ;)

    They have a set of baking stuff, too, but I haven't seen it in stores yet. I'm going to build another room box to make a full kitchen for the mini dolls.

    ETA- found the baking set at Target online! Just ordered it.

    Oh, that miniature food is really nice! You can never have too much food. The pizza looks like you can take a slice ouot?

    I'm having more fun with my QMX figures.

    I invested in some colorful backgrounds. I was aiming for the artificial studio light in the scenes on a planet that were shot in a studio. Especially the purple one was inspired by screenshots I saw on Tumblr of the episode "That which survives".

    And today they said they like my pictures! My day has been made.

    I love that you can open two panels on the tricorder!

    Also the small phaser can be taken out:

    This picture I took for a friend to show her the two face colors next to each other, but I think it looks cute, like something buddies would do in a photo booth?

    yeah. i wouldn't mind getting more Sailor Scouts, but some of them like Saturn and Pluto seem kinda expensive on the back market.

    I'd like to at least get the originals. Especially Jupiter and Mercury, they were my favorites.
