MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Troll Tank Gun Down

The guy who is at that desk like so many of the same things that I do and has found some very amazing stuff. I occasionally go down to his desk at night and check out to see what new item he has added. There is often a new LEGO set or Transformer or more.

I feel like the Joker and think to myself “Where does he get all those wonderful toys.”.
