Star Trek LEGO-like Sets for Xmas
My normal collecting mania is Star Trek, but lately I have been sticking to just getting LEGO stuff instead. Then of course Hasbro came out with the Kre-o Star Trek line and I had to have it all! Look at all this cool stuff! (Some of which Target has on clearance…I almost wish I had…

I Want It Wednesday: Forbidden Planet Figure
I know I am a day late…but better late than never (and it almost felt like I would never feel like writing on my blog again…but thanks to some meds, my friends, my cat and whoring myself out with sponsored posts I am back and I want stuff!) Check this sweet (and very expensive) Forbidden…

PopHangover.com Doesn’t Know Their Pop Culture
The fine and rather sarcastic folks over at Pophangover.com must have been hungover when they reviewed the Spock action figure on their site. Take a look at the picture to the right.

Will Real Levar Burton Please Stand Up
I recently signed up for Twitter after hearing about it for a rather long time from all my techno geek friends. (You’ll see whataslacker’s Tweets over there on the bottom of the right-hand column there.) Basically it is micro blogging at its best. You type a 140-character post, or tweet, and it goes out to…

Star Trek Collectors
I just got off the phone with a fan (or maybe a stalker, but he did not sound too stalkerish — not that I know what a stalker sounds like). He is a fan of my book and has been using it to get a complete Playmates collection together. I told him about PlayTrek.com and…

I Want It Wednesday: Mini Mag Displays
Normally my post of things I want turn out to be cool expensive gadgets I’ll never get, but this week it is actually something I will be placing an order for soon. These magnetic action figure display stands are pretty cool. The stands fit standard action figure peg holes (as long as the figure’s foot…

Small Scale Dark Knight Figures
The Batman Dark Knight figures are pretty cool. I’m not talking about the six-inch figures or even the deluxe figures (although the deluxe Joker does look more like Heath than the others). I am referring to the small 3.75-inch scale figures. You have probably noticed by now that I have a thing for small toys…

DC Infinite Heroes Action Figures
In case you were wondering what I was talking about in my last post, I am speaking of the new line of DC toys from Mattel the DC Infinite Heroes. This a new scale for The DC guys standing a mere 3.75 inches tall (same scale as Star Wars and Indian Jones). According to my…
