ask Hare if there is an abundance of Coconut Crabs where her and Claire’s secret base is, and if she knows anything about anyone Leviathan might have banished to a far away dimension a long time ago.

….um, the blog heading just changed

divechaz, I’d go with asking about Arcano more than anything else. Barnum is from Hssxxlllo, Arcano is referenced in Amalthean culture, so at least she’d know something.

Still, even if Arcano is mentioned to her, I don’t believe Hare would be holding all the threads; if anything, there even might be a chance that Claire could be holding back information and that maybe Claire might know about Arcano (but, of course, the only way to talk with Claire is with Hare, and who knows if that’s gonna fly).

Divechaz, you can try to ask about what’s going on with them, but there’s no way that she’d spill everything (if anything). Maybe ask about Claire. See where that goes.

Dio – Whoops, I’ll try another link: http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Detail?pid=4774&cgid=Ritter

I’m also wondering if this could be one of Arcano’s crab minions: http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aabe_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-DE-Site/Sites-Catalog/de_DE/v1227794021339/imagesOnline/content/4804.jpg

O_O What set is that from, Jen? That’s downright frightening!

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Ness @ 11/27/2008 5:27 PM


It’s from the new Ghost Pirate range, which is unfortunately only going to be available in Germany for now. I really want the ghost pirate ship to go with my regular one so that I can finally act out the first Monkey Island game through the medium of Playmobil.

That range looks AWESOME.

Chestnuts roasted by Jen @ 11/27/2008 5:33 PM


HOT DAMN, those lucky Germans. I want that set! Ghost pirates, that’s like all the neat things rolled into one tasty package. I mean, the glow-in-the-dark skeleton cannon-thing is like every boy’s fantasy. Hell, its mine….I wannnnnnit!

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Ness @ 11/27/2008 5:43 PM


Its like Playmobil asks Matt what he wants to do for the Advent Calendar and is like “Giant crab and evil pirate guy two pack? you got it!”

Chestnuts roasted by Drew @ 11/28/2008 12:09 AM


they have a M’nM store and a Dave and Busters at Times Square here in NYC, but no giant Playmobil store.

We used to have an FAO Schwarz down in San Francisco many moons ago, and I recall going once as a young tot. I don’t remember it now, and it saddens me that I’ll really have no chance of going to one while I’m still young. *sigh* When the Toys R Us down the street from me closed, I nearly had a fit. I’m not driving 30 minutes out of my way to get free pokemon from TRU. …..Yeah….I will.

Playmobile should totally use Matt for advertising (cha-right, what with the adult themes of Waiterbetty’s shinanigans). I’ve bought more stuff from PM in the last 5-6 years because of XE than in my whole life.

I was pissed when the FAO in NYC was closed for rennovations (for months, none the less), but it opened, and now it’s just cool (though I’ll still have memorys of the clock thing and the elevator…ah well, at least they have vintagely-disigned toys and a giant candy section)

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/28/2008 1:55 AM


Man, you’re lucky. I feel like my childhood’s being systematically replaced by Starbucks, Lee’s Sandwiches and frozen yogurt shops. Matt had some neat articles on the FAO in NYC. Something about furbies and Hello Kitty or something. XD I guess I’ll always have….Target…..Oh man, I’m sad. XD;;;

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Ninten @ 11/28/2008 2:15 AM


dang you, Execs who want to replace cool things (the toy stores of our youth) with stores that sell coffee and clothes! it’s the same thing with all the cartoons of yesteryear and the cartoons of today!

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/28/2008 11:02 AM


I personally subscribe to the theory that Barnum (I use this term to refer to the unknown clown) is a friend that will seem like an enemy at first. He probably knows the true nature of Arcano, or at the very least a way to stop it, but the bright colors and ridiculous costume will scare the crew at first.

They are tense and waiting the first signs of danger every XMAS season anyway, you’re telling me they would instantly trust a clown strolling up to them out of nowhere? A clown who seems to know something about the madness happening around them? Real world or otherwise, NOBODY trusts clowns – especially not clowns with chaos theories.

Friend or Foe indeed!

Chestnuts roasted by Morfnblorsh @ 11/28/2008 1:40 PM


we all agree that the clown in the box 23 link and the DoeRoeRiff page (http://www.dinosaurdracula.com/DoneRoeRiff/) is this guy, right? http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Link-Product?sku=4238

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/28/2008 3:34 PM


It’s gotta be him.

I just checked Matt’s Amazon wishlist and he has included this poster:

He’s toying with us.

I have a confession…everytime I see the words “Coconut Crab” I just think of a thai curry.

…oh, and the recent MP3′s Matt has used make me uncomfortable when I refresh the screen at night and then have to wander the darkened flat.

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/28/2008 6:44 PM


Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
Sweet.

Chestnuts roasted by Lucky Lighter @ 11/28/2008 7:11 PM


Guise: I had some coconut crab a few days ago. I’d say Arcano’s minions have nothing on my dad’s curry sauce and a healthy appetite. XD

3 days or so left. I’m so excited!

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Lucas @ 11/28/2008 9:35 PM


do you think that the day before the first, theres gonna be an extra comic to explain what happened in the previous months and times before that?
