Day 1 in Green Bay - the afternoon and evening

[dvandom]

Hit the local comics shop (Powers) and gaming shop (Gnome Games), which are in the same shopping center. Both very nice stores...and the gaming store owner had heard of Patch & Crow's Nest where I shop (both stores are in the top ten Legend of Five Rings stores). Sadly, Monsterpocalypse hasn't taken off locally, but it did mean I was able to get the store's Mega Mecha Khan for the price of buying two boosters (Anyone need an Arsia Outpost? I got two more now). Grabbed a few books on my Missing List at Powers, plus snagged Zatanna for the heck of it.

Also went to Toys R Us, but while they had most of the new Legos, they didn't have blindpack minifigs. The rest can wait for the Topeka TRU. Picked up a few new mesh pizza platters at a local kitchen supply place, then it was time to head to sis's place for dinner. I gave Marah (older niece) a Polly Pocket Pop n Swap pet set, and she refused to switch parts to make a catgirl Polly, so I guess she's in no danger of becoming a furry fan. She seems to grasp existential crises, though, as later on she had several Pollies arguing "I'm Polly!" "No, I'm Polly!"

After dinner we went to an educational supply/edutoy store, but all I ended up getting was a deluxe chalk holder. Oooh, swank. Tomorrow it's down to the Appleton mall and the TRU there.
