2014 Topps OD?

Are you ready for some Opening Day? Going by my LCS tonight on the way home. They called yesterday and let me know my box of 2014 OD had arrived. Unfortunately, I had errands to run that precluded going by there, but, tonight, It's ON!!

Though it would be cool to pull another one of these, the odds are against me on this...

Love the Mascots, and an Auto version would be awesome...

and new for this year are the Between Innings inserts, which look to be very cool too!

I'll be opening my box over the next week or so. Looking forward to quitting time now!!

Happy St. Patty's day everyone!!

Wish it was a whole lot warmer (and a bit drier!) here on the eastern coast of Virginia. What better way to cover ground today than on an Apple Green Harley!!

Please remember though, if you are going to have a few of these:

choose your ride carefully!

have a GReat St. Paddy's!!

Spoiler Alert!! BBT edition...

Hopefully you'll get the reference and all will come clear in the reveal. Back at Christmas, my wife and I went overboard with the blind box figure purchases for my Nightmare before Christmas addiction.

and in hunting for them, we also found Mystery minis from our favorite show, The Big Bang theory.
(Martin saw this figure of sheldon in one of my Teenymates posts and asked for the full blown, so here it is.)

we then proceeded to clear out all the Barnes and Nobles in our area, trying to at least complete a set of the main characters (though not necessarily each variant) we have only found them at B&N, but at least we get a 10% discount on purchases there!

we ended up with both variants of the Howard Wolowitz figure, including the Star Trek uniform, which I believe is a 1/75 box pick.

and with my tiny army of Sheldons,
I SHALL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!

we got several of the variants of him, though my personal favorite is the Flash (so far) (and Sheldon is by far the easiest figure to pick as there are several variants of his outfit available, though the Spock, Live Long and Prosper is by far the hardest to pull)

we did end up with all of the girls (there are no variants of them), and Penny must have gotten drunk when they designed her, cause she won't stand up on her own! (wonder if this is a design flaw??)

and for Valentine's day, I made my wife a card and gave her three more boxes, getting Leonard out of the second!
So, that leaves us just Raj short of the complete cast, and they are a blast to look at. I took a few of the dupes and put them up at work.
