Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I can't say this place is cool, but they do have some deals. A pineapple is 2.98. You can get socks cheap. A Hotwheel might be .97 cents. I bought a DeLorean so I can add a flux capacitor to it and hopefully time travel back a few minutes. I wouldn't suggest coming here on a XMas eve, and in the end, this place offers almost everything, but not anything. It's huge, but lacks a creative edge. After...

Avatar. See it in 3D from the front row. It's weird how the 3d is so prominent in the previews, then in the movie it sort of goes away. That's Mr Jean looking like he's about to go skiing. Check out the movie, it's worth it, even though I went in with terrible expectations. Those characters are strange looking, and seem too cartoony to be respected in a high budget movie, but in the end, it still...
