Didn’t I Unbox this Already?

Recording SteamDads with Brian

I received a box from Smuggler’s Bounty and it was the Jabba’s Palace Box. I unboxed it with a bunch of other things in a major unboxing video back in July. It did not have the Boba Fett Plush that was in this box. I checked on the tracking number and couldn’t figure out why I ended up with it again. I’m supposed to get a couple of Smuggler’s Bounty Boxes soon, one for being at Boss Level and the other is the Hoth Box.

So instead of re-unboxing the Box I’ll point you toward the previous video. You can click the link above to see it.

Since I wasn’t going to unbox that a second time I showed some items that I found on Target Clearance including some Vs Rip Spin Warriors. I found Leonardo and Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as well as Spider-Man. I’m going to look for the battle set and Superman and Batman, too. I also from a couple of Rescue Bot items on clearance as well. Each thing was less than $1.50.

I got a great deal on the Skylanders Imaginators Starter pack for PS4 with Crash Bandicoot and Doctor Neo Cortex. The whole thing cost me less than it would to get their two pack and I also got Golden Queen and King Pen. I already had their Dark Edition figures.

Tonight I shot some video while filming a couple of episodes for shows that I do with my friend Brian. We now shoot SteamDads – http://www.steamdads.com and Brian’s show Built from Bricks. You will have to watch to see what we built.

I can’t believe that I filmed four shows today. My two shows and the two shows that I collaborate on. A busy day for YouTube, just from me.

Oh and when I got home from Brian’s I dropped my secondary phone. It still works but the screen is wicked cracked. I now have packing tape on it.

Eva Reviews It! Jem and the Holograms #1

Jem and the Holograms

For the past couple of years I have been collecting various comic books to read with Eva. One of those series was Jem and the Holograms. This is a new series based on the cartoon from 1986. I watched all of the cartoons when I was a kid and a few years ago got them all on DVD. I tried to show Eva the cartoon but she was a bit freaked out by the rival band, the Misfits. So we didn’t even make it through the first full episode. However, I knew that eventually she’d be at an age where she might enjoy a show about music, fashion and adventure. I was even more pleased when this comic came out because it updated the band for the times but kept the fun. I’ve collected 21 issues plus an annual and the first Misfits issue. Eva and I are going to read the series together.

We read the first issue today and then made this video below. I think that she will enjoy this little experiment this year together. We’re doing this together because the comic has the potential to get into more grown up themes and so as we read it together (after I read it on my own) I have moments to talk about the content with her. I hope that this continues to bond us to things that we enjoy together.
