  • Scribbled Notes

    I found a note to myself in the bottom of my backpack. Must have been important at the time of writing it and saving it in my bag, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. And boy is my handwriting atrocious! This is the note (should I ever need to refer…

  • LEGO Maniac

    I am an admitted brickoholic. This past month has been a whirlwind of LEGO buying and building. Started with the LEGO store’s annual VIP event. Which is an invitation only event that I have been going to for the past 3 years now (guess because I buy so much from them…if only there was a…

  • Not Feeling the Love for Luvocracy

    Luvocracy.com is a Pinterest-like shopping site that’s not all cracked up to be what it sells itself as. At first look at the site I cannot even figure out why anyone would shop there. The Pinterest-like layout is confusing and really only works if you aren’t really even shopping. So why not just stick with…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Lego Minifigs Series 1

    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…

  • Merry Christmas One and All

    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…

  • Little Star Wars Fan at TRU

    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…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Lego Deathstar

    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.    Includes 25 heroes,…

  • I Want It Wednesday: LEGO Mindstorms

    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…

  • High Cost of Oil Takes Its Toll on My Toys

    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…

  • I Loves Me My Mini Figures

    I love miniatures. Anything in a small scale is great to me. I have been fascinated be mini stuff since I was a kid. Maybe that’s why I like LEGO so much, the mini figures that come with each set. Most recently I was very excited to hear Playmates toys would be getting the license…

  • Indiana Jones Lego Sets Keep On Coming

    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…

  • Megabloks is Giving Me the Kreaps

     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…
