Giant Robot Store and GR2 News

Check out the Ricoh. This was a macro quick point and shoot shot. I didn’t do much to make this special. Zoom in and pow. Sharp! The bee is out of the main focal plane, but the power of Ricoh GR reigns supreme.

Don’t fuck with the Don. “Rosie you’re fired!” This guy is like a gangster. “Probably I’ll sue her cuz it’ll be fun. I’d like to take some money from her fat ass… Rosie is a loser.” Don’t fuck with Don, he’s scary and can talk major amounts of shit and can back it up. He fucks Rosie up bit time. Meanwhile, he can show compassion for a hot Miss. America. What a guy. Check out Don. Next fun video. Transformers.

My cousin and I have always had a fascination with giant squid. Maybe it’s because we’ll eat smaller squid whether it’s calamari or ika sushi, but a giant squid can feed us for a year. It’s been a myth for so long and even though there’s sightings which usually have a bigfoot like appeal, here’s one that’s 24 feet, a small one compared, but this is clear video. Leave it to Japanese researchers to catch one.

UFO DIAPOLONThis robot toy can’t be beat.Three robot, the Trunk on the left, the Legger in the middle, and the Header on the right. On their own, they are powerful, heavy, and shoot missles. They don’t really look alike, but they are family. I don’t remember the show at all anymore. Surely there was one, but didn’t catch on here at all compared to Mazinger Z and Raideen. In their styro and packaging that’s probably about 30 years old, each missile and part is in place. The robot have been played with, but they are intact. The magic is that the Trunk, Legger, and Header all come apart to make one larger robot. IUt’s cool how the feet have the mariner like spears, and the arm has saws that come out. Of course the chest missle will blind you, and I forgot to put in the blades for the fists. They shoot out too. Can you believe that a set like this was made? I had this robot set as a kid, and it’s taken close to 8 years to reassemble the trio (I think I got the Trunk first about 8 years ago), and maybe 15 years since I thought about trying to get them all with each coming from different places. I’ve told myself that I’d stop buying robots like these once this set was done. Will I stay true to my word? I haven’t bought a robot in years, until Header, so perhaps I will.

VICTORY – This is the winner of the Nintendo wii. I’ve had a bunch ask. We’ll here’s the winner. Also the mystery Mrs Field’s package…. drum roll…. I called and asked them who the heck sent them to me! And the one person who I forgot. Our T shirt printer! Wow. Issues… yeah, she had a broken machine for a long time, making some jobs stall, but it’s being worked out. I’m sure she was down about it for a while. I was hoping it was the bank or USPS or UPS. Now I feel a bit bad, but the cookies will help.
