Whats up guys? I stopped by Toys R Us real quick today as I was passing by and got some new merch! When I went by, I saw that they were remodeling the whole store. There were those huge metal cargo containers everywere in the parking lot, and the big light-up "Toys R Us" sign had actually been taken down from the top of the store. I wonder if this had anything to do with the stocking of Sonic comics in August? Well anyways, I went in and the whole place was under construction, the shelfs had been thrown away and new ones were there in different places, so for a second I thought that they had put away the Sonic stuff for the time being. But boy was I wrong! I went on looking for the new Sonic section, and when I found it, I was overjoyed to see how big it now was! There was Sonic stuff all over a large portion of a long aisle and it was awesome to see that it had tripled in size from the last Sonic section that had been there!:P
Oh, and the Mario stuff you ask? Well, in the last Sonic section, Mario stuff crowded largely all over it. I hated seeing that before, but now, it was kickass to find out that Mario barely had a section at all! Yeah, it was still right next to the Sonic section, but there was so few toys and shirts that it was barely noticable! And, the huge Sonic section that towered over it almost made it invisible! I saw two kids walk by while I was checking the huge section for new merch that I didn't have, and I heard both of them say something like; "Hey, Sonic!" and "Oooh! Sonic and Shadow!". I'm telling the truth here, cross my heart! Not one of them drew their attension to Mario. That kinda made my day there. :)
Anyways, I was actually able to find four new peices of merch!
One was an updated 3 inch Jazwares Sonic figure. I had got this one before, but it hadn't come with a stand, so I was content to buy one that came with one:

The next thing I got, however, was brand new! And it was the sickest thing ever!!! It was the Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing R.C. Vehicle! And I loved everything about it! I'm even keeping it in it's beautiful box! Unfortunately, I can't supply a picture at this time, but heres a video of it in use (out of it's wonderful box of course though):After I got that, I went in search of some Sonic comics, hoping that I would be able to find the issues I needed for this month. And sure enough, I did. They weren't on a shelf yet, but they were next to the magazines. I was really happy to see that I could now get them in a much closer place to my house, and I was also just plain happy to finally see that Toys R Us was finally selling them. I got Sonic Universe 18# and Sonic The Hedgehog 215#. And by the way, I read them and they rock (as usual):
