3D Printing at Home from Hasbro?
Hasbro and 3D Systems (the same company that acquired Gentle Giant in January) have announced a partnership to co-develop and commercialize 3D printers in order to deliver new immersive, creative play experiences for children.

Wave 3 Trickling in at Toys”R”us
Any store reports of Black Series figures past Wave 1 are far and few between, but when you can score new figures (especially on sale), it’s pretty shocking these days. With the Toys”R”us 30% off sale running this week, and some stores even receiving the latest round of figures, it may be worth your time in stopping by to see if you can walk out with a nice score.
When Hasbro hands you birds…
Each year, I become more and more disappointed with Hasbro’s neglect toward playsets and dioramas – and while there’s hope on the horizon with 3rd parties getting into the mix, I recently caved in and bought some Angry Bird sets to see if the pieces could be used for anything in the 3.75″ scale.

Star Wars Markdowns at Discount Stores
If you have a Marshalls or TJ Maxx store in your area, it may be worth your time to swing by and see if you can score any toys marked down. Many stores that have leftover 2013 stock are really slashing prices to make room for their 2014 toy sections. As always, your mileage and success may vary.
