So Toys R Us is moving. Sources say to the Tinseltown area. Seems like a bad idea, but, hey, SALES! 60% OFF!*
*up to
I don't know how long the sale has been going on, but there wasn't much goods[tuff] to be had. I doubt there were many to begin with. But I did find some goodies.
Guitar Hero: Van Halen ($6)
Guitar Hero: Metallica ($2.40)
Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s ($5.99)
AC/DC Live!: Rock Band Track Pack ($4.73)
Though I moved on from the Guitar Hero craze of several years ago, I did pick it back up earlier this summer and picked (ha!) my way through Guitar Heros 1-3 (Freya is my best song). Nice find to pick up Metallica, Val Halan, and AC/DC on the cheap. Not sure how a music game comprised mainly of a single band, but, hey!, it's Metallica, Val Halan, and AC/DC. And it's cheap!
My only other concern is that AC/DC Live! is a Rock Band game. My guitar is Guitar Hero-based. I know there shouldn't be a problem. The game box tells me there shouldn't be a problem. I just remember Activision making a hissy fit about the issue. Whatever the case, I'll have a pretty sweet box cover.
While walking towards the register, I happened to notice a very small dump pile of DVDs. Hey, why not, right? Browse. Browse. CBS. Browse. Browse. Couple discoveries.
Batman/Superman: Apocalypse ($6.49)
Star Trek: Nemesis ($2.49)
All in all, a pretty good catch. Checking out, I got a little bothered by the lady ringing me up making it very clear that there would be no refunds. Over and over again. Back in the car, I quickly removed the security plastic/stickers for Star Trek: Nemesis. There was a DVD inside. Screwjob averted!

Did you like Star Trek: Nemesis? I thought it was by far the weakest of the TNG movies.
ReplyDeleteNice finds on all the Guitar Hero/Rock Band stuff. We own Rocks the 80's, which is pretty fun. We don't own any of the artist-special games though. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on them. Katy has always wanted to try the Beatles Rock Band.
Katy actually just bought Rock Band 3 for the Wii, which we have played basically non-stop over the long weekend. That adds up to four fake plastic guitars in our living room. It could get to be a problem.
I did like Nemesis overall. My favorite parts of the movie were the ones that gave a sense of closure to the series. And I really liked the ending with B-4 singing to himself and Picard walking away smiling. Really nice space battle as well between the Enterprise and the Reman Predator.
ReplyDeleteI do need to get my hands on copies of the other ST:TNG movies. My memory is really fuzzy on them for some reason. I remember liking First Contact. Hating Generations due to Kirk. And I don't recall squat about Insurrection.
Hey, big surprise about Nemesis. Shinzon is a skinny Tom Hardy, the forger in Inception and Bane in next year's Batman movie.
