Kidrobot in Dallas is closing at the end of the month. (Sad) news for sure. In the year it’s been open, I never went to the store even though I’ve always meant to. I really wanted to get a case of Futurama blind boxes.
Well after the disappointment of the Lone Star Comics warehouse sale, Long informed me of this and we headed over.
And I can see why the store is closing. It’s a very shallow store. It’s all store front. There is no depth to the store, literally. There is no “back room”, only a “front room off to the side”. Stepping in to the store feels unnatural. You’re put on display like a mannequin. I mean, if i was to see a mannequin that looked like me in a store window, I would head the other direction. Kidrobot should’ve made a test store. That is the lesson they should learn from this.
Anyways, it was now my chance to buy a case of Futurama blind boxes! But unfortunately, they only had 2 individual blind boxes. So I picked them up. You cant go wrong with everything 30% off.
There are 12 characters in the Futurama series. All I really wanted was Zoidberg. He is my favorite character from the show. And you know what, I got him! He was in my second box. In the first box, I got what nerds call a “rare chase” – Sal.
So yeah, if anyone wants to take me to Vegas, I’m on a hot streak.
