My favorite toys in Walmart’s Collector Con event

Collector Con is going on right now, and Walmart has a special collection of toys and collectibles just for you. There’s everything from Pokémon cards to collectible super hero pinups. Franchises go from Harry Potter to Shrek. Everything is included and no character is left behind. The result is 10 pages of toys to sort through, however, so somebody had to make some picks of things worth a second look. And this time around, that person is me. Knowing that I can’t make everyone happy without a super long list, here are my favorite toys in Walmart’s Collector Con event. Alternatively, tap the button below to browse all toys.

As hard as it is to believe, there was a time long ago where if you wanted to interact with your favorite franchises, you couldn’t ask an AI to make a scene or wait for the video game to come out… you had to actually have physical objects.

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner
The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.
Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.
Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.
Novak Djokovic

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.
