 Hello YouTube viewers, it is long overdue for me To make an installment of the cheap stuff I started calling this series the cheap stuff not everything here is cheap, but it's just a showcase of stuff that I bought Some of it's cheap junk some of it's neat stuff, but first let me get this out of the way I'm in the middle of my $500 fundraiser hoping to reach $500 in the donations and subscribers By the end of the month today is Saturday, February 24th, which means I've got four days to raise my $500 it's to help me produce more videos and to Take a trip to a convention the first weekend of March. I have a donor. I got an anonymous donation of $4. So that leaves $496 to go in four days and Yesterday, I had a bit of a sudden Medical problem and had to go to a local walking clinic and spent hundreds of dollars on that so It's especially urgent now. Please make donations at the links in the description below and Here on the screen and go to My 50th Street page, which is 30 seconds sci-fi 50th ST Where you can make a one-time donation or? Become a monthly sponsor. I know you're looking at this. I'll get to that later Let's get some of the older stuff out of the way first This is not a new purchase. I bought this more than a year ago Before I left Florida. It is a handmade leather-bound book With a handmade paper in it when I first got to Portland I did some sketching at a life-drying meeting Like that's what I got it for and I haven't used it since though, but it's really it's really beautiful. I was seeing these These leather bookmakers at all the conventions big and little conventions both In Florida and here in the Oregon and Washington Conventions and they're just making beautiful stuff. It's a great thing to have Okay this is a Papercraft cartoon portrait of Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. This is made by the same the same woman who made this Papercraft 3d Jessica Rabbit that I showed off in a video earlier and This little papercraft thing showed up in one of my videos for the Oh Look show and I was so taken with how Well, how beautiful it is how simple it is and How deep the 3d nature of the paper is look at that and see even got the little green face in there This is made by a Papercraft artist who called herself small reany lady. Here's her business card taped to the back of the Jessica Rabbit and a little sticker Stuck to the back of this tiny frame and she even hand stamps the packaging that she puts her Her stuff in she has a website, of course, and I'll put it I'll put the link here on the screen and in the description Go look at her stuff. She's really impressive Some other convention purchases, but first I was I was given this as a gift By the guy who makes these he works with the damn Jackie. There's a picture of her Hosting some of my Oh look show videos He told me I could have my choice of whatever of these posters He makes hundreds of posters of these based on different pop culture shows and movies and I chose this Steven universe thing Here are a couple of posters that I bought at the Rose City Comic Con I made a video about this Star Wars number 38 about this cover. I bought this poster from Michael Golden and got it to Autographed this was an episode of my odd comic series and it's also part of my shadow about Star Wars series I also bought this from him Yeah, Dr. Strange poster and there's Michael Golden's Autograph I don't buy many things at conventions the the convention purchases I'm showing you here are all the convention purchases. I've made in The past two years. Yeah, I I don't spend money at these things. I go there to work but then at the Portland retro gaming expo. I saw this At first I thought it was one of these vintage Blacklight posters from the 1960s that Marvel used to make and I asked the guy are these vintage. He said no, no these are These are screen prints that we make ourselves and this is just so beautiful. I couldn't I Couldn't not get it and take a look at this Okay, here's a couple of old board games that I bought at Guardian games in Portland this funny little thing called dig and One of these really classy Boxed board games by 3m. They made a whole series of these back in the day They're designed to go on people's bookshelves and look classy I'll do a special Board hoarder episode about these I haven't done any board game videos in a long time. This is a Suspenders slash bow tie set that I bought just before Christmas thinking I would use this In an episode of the truth, I'm not so sure anymore But it may show up at some point speaking of clothing here's a Set of elastic shoelace replacements that I bought on eBay Because the shoes that I bought last summer I take a few steps they come untied. I'm having to stop Every block that I walk Every 50 or so yards and bend over and tie my shoes and I feel like an idiot and a child So I got these and they didn't come with any instructions So I'm gonna have to look at a picture from online like this and do these This is the packaging of a candy bar that I bought it to Trader Joe's in The Tacoma I'd never been to Trader Joe's all these years. I Thought Trader Joe's was a snooty Los Angeles Hollywood thing But then I saw one in North Carolina. I was so surprised. I took a picture of it The only other time I had ever seen Trader Joe's in person was when I was in Los Angeles Years and years ago like 2011. I think and The only thing I knew about Trader Joe's is that I always heard comedians joking about how you can't get parking at Trader Joe's And there was a Trader Joe's in Hollywood. It was in a high-rise building With with a parking garage and I drove past it and I said that I'm not gonna bother to park to go there But then I was driving down Santa Monica Boulevard toward the beach And there was a smaller Trader Joe's by the side of the road I said I'll go in and see what this Trader Joe's is about and I couldn't find parking So this a couple of weeks ago was my first time ever inside a Trader Joe's and it was just junky novelty snacks and a few groceries I Was really surprised and disappointed But I picked this up and it looked like it would be a knockoff Milky Way bar, and that's exactly what it was So that's that's Trader Joe's speaking of knockoffs. I Got these two items down the street of a store called Daiso that evidently specializes in Japanese imports Each of these were $1.50 all of my Rubik's cubes and other cube puzzles are in storage in Florida They've been there for a year and they're going to stay there probably for years to come And I don't have any puzzles with me. So a dollar fifty. I was like I'm not gonna pass that up. I think I'll make a special video unboxing just this and see if it's any good Now the thing you've been waiting for it's exactly what it looks like. I Was really surprised when I walked in there and I did a double-take at this because I saw Stuart Ashen Feature these on his channel on YouTube and I was like really this is this is a real thing that I could get locally So, okay, here we go. I'm gonna open these up and Demonstrate Okay, here. I know that these instant boobs come with Stickers so that they'll stick to I guess your chest Good Lord. This is this is disgusting. I Know that from seeing Stuart Ashen use these they come with peel-off stickers supposedly to stick to your chest But I'm not gonna do that I'll stick them to this cardboard Let me zoom in a little bit Okay, okay, here are the instructions Yeah, he's sticking them to his shirt and then he's squeezing them and then they They blow up and he's sexy now Yeah, I can't get the Okay, let's stick them real close together. I can feel there's a capsule in there that I guess I'm supposed to pop To squeeze it till it bursts Okay, whoa, this one isn't popping I've got a defective boob here. I can hear it hissing. I don't know if you can and the left one isn't working But this one is getting quite cold Yeah, there's some chemical reaction going on there. I'm really disappointed that my dollar fifty instant boobs are defective Makes me angry This other thing I got at Daiso's these Choco rooms This was I totally forgotten I've got these let's open these up and see What they taste like. Oh, they're surprisingly tiny. Oh, I can smell them. The chocolate is really strong Let's see what they taste like Supposedly they have two layers of chocolate a thin coating of dark chocolate with milk chocolate on the inside And that's exactly what it tastes like. It's like pocky keep trying here. Oh, there we go a late bloomer over here These aren't terribly large. They're not nearly as large as this guy's cartoon But if you stuck these under your shirt, they would definitely be noticed. Yeah, it's pretty darn cold.
