The comic store I go to is on the university campus and so it will be shut for the entire Christmas and New Year period along with all of the facilities. That's not very practical, I would say but then there are few comics coming up during the holiday week anyway. In Canada we have Boxing Day on December 26. That's when we return all gifts we don't want and get super discount on stock that wasn't sold for Christmas. A few comic book stores have begun offering Boxing Day specials too, although they are rare.

For Boxing Day, they are a quite a few action figures that I haven't found time to get that I'd like to find. The cool JSA action figures from DC Direct are some of them. I haven't been up to date on the Hasbro Marvel Legends stuff and that's something else I'll be looking into. If I could find some Avatar action figures, that would be cool too.

So in Canada, we don't wait for Santa to deliver toys. We wait for Boxing Day.

The Passionate Pariah and Leadership
I wanted to follow up on my leadership article. At the Bin we are pariahs of the comic book industry, even if we give so much and have done so much work to help it thrive. But that's ok. One day, our work will be recognize and people who like to hate us will have to change their tune. In 2012, for our 10th anniversary we are more than ever compelled to help this industry thrive and grow, as well as seek out solutions to problems and help you the reader connect with this hobby. We only do it because we like comics. There are no other reasons other than passion for this site to exist. Some may think we're idiots, but then again passion is what leads to changes and breakthroughs. There's so much work ahead of us.
