Dragon Ball and DC Universe Blu-ray Box Sets
Dragon Ball Z: Seasons 1-9 Collection: This Amazon exclusive box 36 disc set contains the entire Dragon Ball Z anime series on Blu-ray. Not bad for $174.98. The collection is currently in the pre-order phase with a release date set for November 14th. If you order and the price drops between now and the release date, you’ll get the lowest price. This set has been a big seller, so you’ll want to grab it sooner rather than later. Order it here.
DC Universe 10th Anniversary Collection: This is another big Blu-ray box set that has been popular since it was first announced. In addition to including all 30 of the DC Universe animated films released up to this point, it also features commemorative editions of Wonder Woman and Justice League: The New Frontier as well as all five “DC Showcase” animated shorts – The Spectre, Green Arrow, Jonah Hex, Catwoman and Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam. Plus, there’s over two hours of new special features. It even comes with a 40-page adult coloring book and three collector coins to sweeten the deal. Speaking of that sweet deal, this massive set can be ordered on Amazon now for $211.39, which is 30-percent off the list price. The release is only days away on November 7th, so you’ll want to lock that price in now.
More ’90s Toys Make a Comeback
Nintendo New 3DS XL – Super NES Edition: The Nintendo Switch and the SNES Classic are getting all of the attention, but this SNES-style 3DS XL ain’t no slouch. It even includes a download code for the SNES version of Super Mario Kart. You know how Nintendo is, so getting this one early is definitely a good idea. Order it here.
Tamagotchi: Tamagotchi virtual pets are back for a whole new era of neglect! They function pretty much exactly the same as original ones did, and they’re set for release on November 5th. Unfortunately, word about the Tamagotchi comeback has spread, and pre-orders have already had sellouts. You can still order some on Amazon through third-party sellers for a premium price, though stock may or may not be available at Toys “R” Us on November 5th at the $14.99 list price.
Awesome Robots
Teddy Ruxpin: While we’re being nostalgic, let’s talk about the return of Teddy Ruxpin. Teddy is back and better than ever with color LCD eyes that have over 40 animations, an advanced animatronic mouth that syncs to stories and songs, touch sensors, interactive mobile apps and more. I recall that the original Teddy Ruxpin was extremely popular back in the day, and I expect that the high tech modern version will be tough to find at the $94 list price as we get closer to Christmas. Get one here while the gettin’ is good.
Star Wars Robotic Vacuums: Robot vacuums are a popular holiday gift – but why spend a fortune on a standard robot vacuum when you can spend a fortune on one that is Star Wars-themed? Samsung’s limited edition Star Wars POWERbot vacuums come in Darth Vader and Stormtrooper versions and can play phrases and music while they work. They also have all of the bells and whistles you would expect from a high-end vacuum. Both models are available to order here.
Stay Cozy and Warm This Winter
Pokemon Snorlax Bean Bag Chair: Not surprisingly, this enormous Snorlax bean bag chair is as popular as it is comfortable. In fact, it was sold out for a long stretch of time, so you’ll want to order one while it’s still available. Good luck wrapping / hiding it from prying eyes though. Grab it here.
DC Comics Knitted Sweaters: Getting clothes for Christmas doesn’t seem super exciting, but these knitted sweaters in the DC Comics collection are an exception. The designs for Wonder Woman, Superman, and The Flash are among our favorites, and there are several Batman options available – most of which are actually knitted as opposed to a simple print on a sweatshirt. There’s even Harley Quinn sweaters and a Joker sweater if you want to add a villains into the mix. The full DC sweater lineup is available here (along with other fandoms). Quantities are limited.
Fandom Fun
Harry Potter Hogwarts House 16 piece Dinner Set: Harry Potter fans can bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood with a Hogwarts-themed dinner set that includes one place setting for Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin with a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, and cup. That means you can sort your dinner guests! Grab a set here before the sell out. Just keep in mind that they are not dishwasher and microwave safe.
Funko Rick and Morty-Portal Gun: One of the hottest gifs for Rick and Morty fans is undoubtedly this portal gun from Funko. In addition to being a perfect full-size replica, it also emits a variety of lights and noises. This was originally slated for release in November, but now has a street date of December 15th. Pre-order one here while you can.
