Game of Shops

Sometimes it's fun to go out during the crazy Xmas shopping season, right? Here's a bunch of pictures we got during the crush.

Here's a "Game of Thrones"-style Xmas decoration? This poor elf betrayed the King! Put his head on a pole! Either hilarious or hideous, depending on your mood. I guess he still looks happy about it.

My friend digitized this graphic at work. Sorry that you now have the song stuck in your head. And if you haven't heard it yet, we should caution you if you are thinking of looking it up. Baby.... Shark! Do-Do-Do-DoDoDo! There's a fun dance, too.

Yikes. The giant flea market is a ghost town! That's a cold Saturday afternoon in December? Lesson learned, I guess.

The shop with all of the POP! Figures was still open. Here's Jareth the Goblin King swirling the glass globes. We kind of already have this; except the Hot Topic exclusive version has one globe, and the Think Geek version has... three globes? That's pretty sneaky.

Nopony needs a Grumpy Heart. Why is this a kid's toy? Even adults wouldn't need this, and maybe more so.

Ah, here's the shirt my friend was looking for a few weeks ago. Why is Vanellope licking Olaf? Can't Elsa just make her some legit snow cones, like instantly?

Who else was blown away to find out that Darth Vader had a castle on Mustafar? Yeah that is a pretty epic cool idea. So here's the Lego set of it!

Does Trump get to trademark his silly phrases? Because if he knew people were making money selling things branded with his ramblings, he'd probably want to get some money out of the deal. This game is a bunch of Fake News. I wonder if the whole thing is about Trump?

My friend was searching Google for pictures from the old video game M.U.L.E. and guess what turned up? It's Minty! Haha when travelling through Missouri, we stopped by the Mule Trading Post. Which was a reference to the game we were now trying to look up. Mind blown in several directions.

Maybe we should offer to sell these patches at the Mule Trading Post? If you've played the game you'll find this cool.

Well here's a game that's total crap. Can you believe the type of crap they are selling to kids these days? Can I add more crappy jokes about this thing? 

Bonus points to Chick-fil-a for giving us this free item card for making us wait a few minutes for our Spicy Sandwich. We didn't ask for anything but the assurances that our chicken was cooked well and not taken out early in an attempt to serve us quicker. So it's nice to point out that they surprised us and were extra nice, and that doesn't happen often at fast food places.

Okay Mom and/or Dad, we get it. Thanks for cooking dinner. You kids should be more grateful you're not starving.

This guy was too cute, we had to get his picture. He was really fluffy and reminded my friend of a muppet of some kind.

Who ever heard of Peter Porker, the Amazing Spider-Ham? My friend has, and was excited to see him getting some promotion. 

Travel back in time to the 80's with a couple of retro classic re-released Transformers figures!

Complete with the story card and stats on the back. Tailgate here uses magnets to pull himself behind other cars to save on his fuel use. This guy is from the 80's. How is that not a thing yet? Where's the magnets on our cars?

It's no wonder Bumblebee became a fan favorite. He's adorable! Don't you just want to hug this little car?

Get that Cubchoo a tissue! Yes, Pokemon has a bear with a huge snot drip. And now there's a plush um, drip? Also, who would want a mad Pikachu? And why do I have the urge to throw it at other ponies?

Who made this plushie and doesn't know how Dinosaurs work? Because that Triceratops is standing up like it's been mixed up with a T-Rex somehow. Found at a Wal-Mart if you want to go and get one of these things to confuse everypony who looks at it.
