    Could I ask a favour? For those of us not really that familiar with the Mario figures, would it be possible to take a picture of the machines with something non-toy related, so that we could get a better sense of scale? I'm just curious now. :)

    ^ Thank you, I appreciate it! :)

    Wow, that is impressive! Although it looks like they might be a little tricky to play at that size, lol.

    And based on the French and the metric measurement, that must be a Canadian Coke can. I don't know if you picked that image specifically because of that, but if so, well done! ;)

    You're welcome, It is difficult to play if you have big thumbs. Thankfully it also has an idol "demo" mode where it will act like it's not being played then it turns off on it's own. As for the picture, I thought it was the best one to show it's scale effectively. ;)

    I wonder if that Pac-Man mini-cade has the infamous kill screen on board 256 or if it resets to board 1 after 255. It would be most impressive if someone could play that well on such a small unit to find out!

    I'm still waiting for the exclusive 3.75 "Island Journey" Rey to be available south of the Canadian border.

    I knew what would happen once I watched "Stranger Things" - buying all the figures.

    They've lowered the prices on these slightly. I guess they're not selling as well as they'd hoped.

    A collector friend and I made a pretty cool score last night at a local Walmart. The relatively new 3.75" Wampa and Luke Skywalker(Hoth) 2-pack with the Force Link 2.0 feature was on a clearance shelf for just $3, down from the original price of $19.87! I've been looking for this cool new Wampa sculpt for a little while now and until last night had never seen it in person.

    My friend scored the 3.75" Enfys Nest with Speeder Bike set for the same price. There was just one Wampa/Luke set left.

    Everyone of those figures are still there, only a few were bough. So yeah, don’t think they were popular at all.

    That's the only price I've seen thus far and I can't find any of the Trek ones at my local stores.
