/0 Comments/in /by

Well it’s been a long time coming!

Blast from the Past will now start carrying some Doctor Who items! We have a few to start with, most notably Rose Tyler and K-9!

Also! We know you’ve been waiting for them and they arrive this week! Series 3 Jaeger’s from Pacific Rim. Oh yeah. Coyote Tango & Cherno Alpha are here to stomp face. 

Lastly, we have a signing event on March 15th from 5pm – 7pm!

Writer Dave Parkin will be on hand to sign copies of his graphic novel, The Devil is Due in Dreary! “Classic Cars, pompadours and rock-n-roll meet the folklore of the American Southwest in this rockabilly take on the classic western.” We’re also very fortunate to have artist Jeff Victor in attendance as well! Jeff Victor will be signing copies of his new artbook, Wicked Crispy, a collection of movie and pop culture cartoons and caricatures. Jeff’s work is both loving and perceptive in its ability to distill the essence of various popular directors, actors and characters.

Come out and see us, grab the goods and meet some great talent, all at Blast from the Past this March!

Also, STAY TUNED for Monsterpalooza Details!

Have a safe St. Patricks Day!

Heya Blastoids, here’s a quick update of what’s coming up!

It’s been a heckuva year and we’re not done yet! The annual Holiday In the Park is upon us and Blast from the Past will be joining up with other retailers here in beautiful Burbank to make sure it’s a memorable one.  Mark your Calendars for November 22nd (that’s next Friday from the time of this posting)! Stores all over the Magnolia Park area will be decorating their store fronts and doing their part to bring food and toys to the needy during the Holiday season.  We’ll also be holding a raffle for your chance to win T-Shirts, Comics, Action figures, Posters and more!

We will also, of course, be having Black Friday Specials as well as Small Business Saturday Sales events! Check back with us in the next week to keep up to date about pricing and promotions.

See below for a list of items we’ll be accepting as donations during out Holiday in the park event! We’ll be collecting canned foods as well as new toys for ages 4-14. Donations will be going to the Burbank Temporary Aid Center.

Lastly, if you haven’t “Liked” us yet on Facebook, you will be hunted down, bound and cast into the pit of the almighty Sarlacc, where you will be slowly digested over a thousand years. It’s not worth it. LIKE US! It’s another great way to keep up to date on new product coming into the store as well as heads up on unique collectables we’ll be making available via Ebay.

Stay tuned for more info about upcoming sales! See you tomorrow (Nov 22nd)!

Five ways to celebrate and end geek week!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

What a fun summer to help you celebrate your inner-nerd! This great geeky summer is filled with events like Comic Con 2013, Geek Week, and even Shark Week (it doesn’t matter if it’s the same every year)!
How would you celebrate your own “geek week”? You’ll find our five ideas below, but we’d love to hear yours too – announce your geek week plans in the comments section or contact us with your ideas!

1- Discover your geek IQ – Just how nerdy ARE you?

2- Relive the magic of Harry Potter. It’s timeless, and think about it….when was the last time you read the series from start-to-finish? Do it; it will be just as magical as the first time, if not more because it will fill you with nostalgia.

3- Hunt for vintage items, particularly comic books and figures. Aside from our store, you can also check local yard sales, flea markets, and estate sales; sometimes people never know what treasures they consider clutter.

4- Never underestimate the power of a good Star Wars marathon week. Go ahead, treat yourself, everyone deserves the escape.

5- Play an MMORPG like World of Warcraft; try to play with friends if you can. (Already play?) Take advantage of the new in-game vanity items from Blizzard. Aesthetically captivating hoods are available for purchase on the World of Warcraft store. They look pretty awesome, and they’re just one of many reasons to enjoy the MMORPG!
