Today was a good day.
I stopped at the new Dollar General that opened locally and snagged two more green Dukes and two blue Shipwrecks, along with these cheap knock-off 'Kung Fu', 'Samurai', and 'Ninja' figures. Grabbed a MARS Heroes 'Cybertronix' figure to use as an upgraded Overkill armor. Discovered that the small head I had in my fodder box was from this line from the red figure.
Stopped at Big Lots in Cortland and was sad to not find any of the 8 wheeled vehicles, but my smile turned around after finding 4 of the PTE locker/bed sets. Also grabbed some DVDs for myself and for possible presents: 'Hanky Panky' with Gene Wilder, 'Tequila Sunrise', 'Barb Wire', 'Man of the House' with Tommy Lee Jones, 'They Were Expendable', and 'Preacher's Kid'.
Nothing at Walgreens.
At the K-Mart in Syracuse I found 2 of the Star Wars Ewok Assault Catapult sets on sale.

Headed to Barnes and Noble. Couldn't find the new Star Wars Insider magazine.
Stopped at the Dollar General next to Harbor Freight and found one each of the green Shipwreck and the blue Cobra Trooper.
