Lucky Charms Super Mario Edition Cereal

How kick-ass would it be if one day Lucky Charms worked with Nintendo to release a special edition version of Super Mario Lucky Charms; where all the marshmallows were Super Mario items and characters. Saturday morning gaming would never be the same!

AJ Styles vs Finn Balor WWE TLC

What an amazing… no, what a phenomenal match between AJ Styles and Finn Balor at WWE TLC 2017.  You could clearly see the talent that both these wrestlers had tonight.  They’re the reason why I love wrestling.  This WWE viral infection was a blessing in disguise because there would have been no other way to have gotten this match (and avoided Sister Abigail).  Thank you AJ Styles, Thank you Finn Balor.  That match was Too Sweet!

Vans Nintendo Zelda Classic Slip-On

Part of the excitement of being a modern day Nintendo/Zelda collector is that you never know what’s next as far as new merchandise is concerned.  It can also be a headache when you have to follow websites every day to keep up to date with what’s releasing on certain days.  Of course I decided many years ago to limit myself to just collectables that I really wanted and not just hoard merchandise.  My latest collectable is the Nintendo with Vans collaboration shoe line.
While many shoe models were released, I decided to get the Zelda Vans Classic Slip-On.  This model features canvas uppers with retro 8-bit characters from the original NES video game The Legend of Zelda.  It comes in a faded navy blue colorway with what I like to call southwestern Native American print.  At the bottom of the sole “GAME OVER” is printed in white.
One of my favorite parts of this collaboration is the shoe box packaging; it’s exactly like the NES console.  This attention to detail is what really gets me excited as a collector when companies go the extra mile in releasing a new product.  As a bonus for buying this pair on release day I also received a very cool pin set.  Hopefully this isn’t that last time we see a Nintendo Vans collaboration because just like the NES Classic, a follow up version of the SNES would be awesome.  Can you imagine SNES box packaging, and shoes that feature A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, and Super Metroid.
