I think a LEGO presidential debate would be awesome. I might actually watch it instead of simply waiting for the news to tell me the highlights.
First presidential debate should just be two candidates with LEGO set and see who can build that.

But I think the set would have to be something difficult (at least age 5 or older). LOL

I absolutely need to have these! They should be available in June. The 16 different minifgs will be individually bagged in blind bags so you won’t know what you are getting (unless you are like me and can feel what the hair/hats feel like through the bags. In any case I am going to need several of most of these so if you see them when you are out and about please pick a bunch of them up for me okay? You know I am good for payment, right?
I kept seeing this on Nick while watching cartoons today and then saw the onDemand link for LEGO TV and well I was hooked!
ENJOY (I do).
I talked about my Lego trains in my post yesterday, but I did not share them with you. While I was setting up the tree and trains I had a little help as you’ll see by this photo. Remember the scene in Harry Potter where Hogwarts was attacked by the giant dragon? Me either but that’s the game we were playing. 
As you can see Boris decided to sit his little butt down right in the middle of the tracks and proclaim himself official Lego conductor. We both agree the 9v electric trains are sooooo much better than their new remote control trains.
When he was done playing with the trains (while they were running he was outside the tracks carefully watching as they went by him), he helped with the tree.
Okay, so maybe helped is not the right word to use. In any case we had fun getting the tree up. What more could one ask for?
I stopped by Toys R Us on Friday to see if there was anything new or some toy I just couldn’t live without. As I walked in they ahve their big display for Star Wars right up front. As I walked up I heard this young boy ask his mom how much Star Wars did one store need. He continued to look around and walked over to the LEGO AT-TE and said, “Hey here’s the AT&T walker”. I had to hold in a giggle. As he walked away he told his mom, “these are not the legos I am looking for” in a very Obi-wan Kenobi sort of way. Even though I know he did not mean it in a Star Wars quote kind of way it was still rather funny. I did not get anything on this TRU trip but at least I was entertained.
The Lego Star Wars Deathstar has reached new heights with the new Battle inside the Death Starâ„¢! This is not just a Lego model it is a playset to beat all playsets (and maybe it should at a $400 price tag). Look at everything this cool Lego set has to offer.
 
 
Also includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobiâ„¢, C-3POâ„¢, R2-D2â„¢, Princess Leiaâ„¢, Chewbaccaâ„¢, Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight), Darth Vaderâ„¢, Grand Moff Tarkinâ„¢, Emperor Palpatineâ„¢, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Emperor’s Royal Guardsâ„¢, R2-Q5â„¢, and mouse droid!
Recreate the action and adventure of the Star Wars™ movies with the ultimate Death Star playset! This amazingly detailed battle station features an incredible array of minifigure-scale scenes, moving parts, characters and accessories from Episodes IV and VI on its multiple decks, including the Death Star control room, rotating turbolaser turrets, hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, tractor beam controls, Emperor’s throne room, detention block, firing laser cannon, Imperial conference chamber, droid maintenance facility, and the powerful Death Star superlaser…plus much more! Swing across the chasm with Luke and Leia, face danger in the crushing trash compactor, and duel with Darth Vader for the fate of the galaxy!
I love robots and I love Lego. So what better combo for me than a Lego Robot? I have the first version of the Mondstorms system and really need to get myself the new one. I love the new functionality and the new look (not such a fan of the technic sets so I was disappointed when this was first announced, but I guess there is only so much one can do with the good ole brick).
I noticed the scale of action figures seems to be going back down in size. Instead of all the hulking, big seven inch pieces of plastic we are once again seeing smaller three inch scale figures in the toy stores.
Since plastic is basically a petroleum based product do you think the trend in smaller toys is being caused by the higher oil prices? I know the cost of action figures and toys is going up. So where does that leave me and my collecting days? Are they numbered? Will I have to stop collecting or simply cut back in the amount of toys I buy? Honestly, I don’t like either option. I don’t want to stop or even reduce collecting my Star Trek figures. Maybe I just need to stop with the other items. No more Indian Jones. No more monsters. No more Lego. NO!
May 1st brought a slew more Indian Jones LEGO sets. We already had the The Temple Escape ($60), Race for the Stolen Treasure ($30), The Lost Tomb($20) and the Motorcycle Chase ($10). the only one of those three I still need to get is the Race for the Stolen Treasure set and I might have to put that one off for a little while as these new sets have me all excited!
 
 
 
 
The Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Lego sets available as of May 1, 2008 are: Jungle Duel ($10), River Chase ($20), Jungle Cutter($40), and The Temple of the Crystal Skull ($70). So far the only one I have picked up is the cheapest one The Jungle Duel set. Fun little set that includes three minifigs. You get Indy, Mutt and Spalko. The cloth tent is pretty cool. I could see a whole bunch of these set up as a military camp or boyscott troop. I can definitely see the steampunk and diselpunk lego fans making some fun stuff from all these Indy sets that’s for sure.
 
 
 
I really hope LEGO keeps pushing out the Indiana Jones sets for us adult fans as well as the kids. So far these are available at Toys R Us and Wal-Mart. Target hasn’t jumped on the band wagon yet as they only have the first four Lego sets none of the new ones and none of the action figures either. If you are looking to pick these up I don’t recommend TRU as their prices are $2-10 more than any where else including LEGO.com and EntertainmentEarth.com.
 I picked these up a few weeks back for my monster toy collection [it is not all Star Trek you know]. I got the ghoul, gargoyle, and mummy, but there are six all together. The other three are a werewolf, vampire, and zombie. Of those three, I think the only other one I might get would be the zombie.
The Plasma Kreaps come inside a rubbery bag inside a plastic crate. Once you free all the parts you get to put your monster together. Best part is you can mix and match your Plasma Kreaps to make other strange monsters. The bits and pieces are interchangeable with other Plasma toys to make some rather interesting creatures. Each toy stands about 3″ high.
