Used a birthday Amazon gift card for items sitting in my cart forever. A Dremel grinder guard, dust blower (collet fan), and angled mini saw blade, all so I can stop getting melted plastic in my eyes.

And a Tamashi Nations knockoff lightning effect and figure stand.

I can relate to every bit of that lol.

Have you considered making a sanding box ("dremel box")? I've made and used one for years now and I can't imagine customizing with a dremel indoors without it.

My first one was made out of an Amazon box and clear plastic. My 2nd is made out of a large clear plastic storage tote. Definitely worth the $10 and time spent making it.

Pics?

While I don’t have room in my current office I will in my workshop

Went to Target on a whim.

Grabbed the 4 GOT for $4.04 a pop. Much better then the $13.49 they were priced at.

Also grabbed the only Joe they had, also on clearance. Going to hit a couple other Targets tomorrow

I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow if you still want to see it but it's basically what's seen here:

I sand/drill and when there's enough debris I unclip the top, dump the box, reattach the top piece and get back to work.
My cardboard version worked extremely well before I decided to upgrade.

Oooh I like that.

If you make one you may want to pay the extra $3 and get a lid with quick release latches and a clear tote like this for extra visibility:

It's worth the convenience. I've sanded in the kitchen a few times over the years when making household repairs. No debris on the counter afterwards.

I managed to find a Jurassic Park Claire & Dino on clearance at Walmart for $6
This one https://www.target.com/p/jurassic-world ... A-83860728
They also had https://www.amazon.com/Jurassic-World-E ... B0B4V2L8DV for $25 but that was a tiny T-Rex.

Went to WM to get a steering wheel cover and saw a Classified Shipwreck just sitting there on the shelf surrounded by about a dozen each Lady Jayes & Gung-Hos.

Not bad. Although Polly only attaches at the wrist, which is dumb, but at least you can swap out that stupid dixie cup hat.

Stopped at the local ReUse Center after work.

Picked up a gallon bag of Playmobil Pirates/Sailors and assorted cannons, flags, weapons, and gear for $4.

Found an Imaginext Pharaoh set and I believe an Imaginext Batman 3-story tower.

I am thinking of adding snake fangs and turning it into a Serpentor themed monument.

The tower

The opposite side has a round area I might add a rope to to use this as an obstacle course type tower. Maybe add a shooting position at the top and another rope to descend to the next obstacle.

I also picked up 4x Flash/Batman/Batcycle sets for Spectre and a new Rogue for myself.

Here are my finds from the last few days, and some from last month that I thought I mentioned, but did not.

Everything is from Target. For 3" Marvel "Mechstrike" they had Ironman and Thor. Also had some of the X-Men
figures. Can anyone tell me if Wolverine is smaller than the others?

Here's what they had. For this Target, a sight like this is very rare.

This stuff I got last month. The Marvel Legends FF figures were from Big Lots, Indiana Jones was clearance from Target, $5. Since then, I found another for $3.

I don't think I've seen the Marvel Mechasaurs figures at any of the Targets I've gone to.

Went to a toy shop a couple hours away to see a buddy I haven’t seen in ages. He was signing his books and comics. Anyway bought a bunch of Star Wars stuff cheap at the shop. Then hit target and found the Joes. The Batman set was at Walmart and because it was missing Batman I got a $7 discount.

I believe Polly will also attach to the rope if you have it over his shoulder.
