Today I received my remaining Addams Family pops though there is two more I hope to get when they are released later in the year (Lurch with Thing, Fester with lightbulb in mouth) This last lot came the three The Police pops for a friend because she is a huge Sting fan. I will probably put in pre-orders for Theon (with flaming arrow) and maybe the Jorah and Daenerys TV moment pop. I already have a preorder for Arya with her two blade weapon. I now own 75 pops plus a few other Funko collectibles.
Ordered a new Kindle Paperwhite. My oldest Kindle is circling the drain: getting very difficult to charge.
did you do that buyback thing? they only wanted to give me $5 trade in on my old one so i haven't upgraded yet
No, I didn't. I just bought it through Amazon Prime on a Prime Day deal. I got $45 off, plus 3 free months of Kindle Unlimited and a $5 gift card. A $5 trade in is a major rip off, in my opinion.

Bought a few games that were on sale in Nintendo's eshop, Sparkle 3: Genesis, Grid Mania and Membrane. Two of them were for 9 cents and one was for 49 cents. Used my 60 something gold coins as a discount on them. They seemed decent enough via some game play I watched, so I figured, what the heck .
I just received my purchases from Prime Day: The Return of Khan expansion for the Star Trek Frontiers board game. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/224868/star-trek-frontiers-return-khan and Nieuport 11/16 Bébé vs Fokker Eindecker, a book about WWI aerial combat, for my son.
I bought a little cactus (Mammillaria spec. - couldn't find out yet what species exactly) from a DIY shop. Some moron had used hot glue to stick a few artificial flowers onto the poor little thing I'm fairly certain the cactus will survive its ordeal but it'll very likely be crippled for life.
Yes. Itemized and in alphabetical order. EDIT: Oh, I see you already did it. Never mind then. My latest purchase: Shazam and Aquaman DVD's.
sausages and rolls, 2 Kasseler* , stamps, 3 glass jars from Ikea and 4 rechargeable batteries for my mp3 player. And a tiny mimosa plant I've always wanted one of those. It's still a bit scared from the transport but gradually starts to unfold its leaves. (* Wikipedia is wrong in one detail: traditionally we use ribs or neck. Loin is never ever used for Kasseler - it's too precious/expensive. Smoked pork belly is a dish of its own. In my region Kasseler ribs are served not only with Kraut and mash but also with a sour lentil stew which is nicely refreshing on hot days.)
I pretty much never need to buy stamps for actually mailing things, but I did just buy a booklet of Canada Post's Apollo 11 commemorative stamps. I would love love LOVE to get this commemorative coin from the Royal Canadian Mint: ... but unfortunately it is out of my price range. There is also a gold version of the same coin, but it is so ridiculously priced that the phrase "out of my price range" doesn't do it anywhere near justice! It might as well be on the moon, for all the likelihood that I could ever have one!
