  • 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 Mindstorms

Since plastic is basically a petroleum based product do you think the trend in smaller…

  • 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…

  • Indian Jones LEGO Sets Are Here

    Indian Jones LEGO sets have hit the shelves. In fact I found them at Toys R Us a few weeks before Christmas. They had them even before the LEGO store had them online. These are pretty cool. I like that LEGO has been jumping on some good properties since they started licensing sets. I don’t…
