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…

Steampunk Star Wars Figures
I have always been a fan of the folks who can make custom action figures especially when they are such high quality as those over at Sillof’s Workshop. But these are no ordinary custom figures. What do I mean by ordinary? I guess to clarify; I would say in this case ordinary means creating figures…

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…

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…

Looking for Plastic/Acrylic Displays for My Collection
I have a huge Star Trek collection. I display the majority of it loose on shelves. This can be a huge problem when it comes to dusting to the toys, models and other collectibles. I really need a good solution to protect and better display my stuff. That’s where Potomac Display company comes in handy.…

Freebies in the US Mail
I just love getting free stuff in the mail. I had signed up for the Diamond Select Toys newsletter quite a while ago and haven’t bought from them in about a year, but this morning I got a little package in the mail from them. It contained two single minimates. One was from their The…

Ralph McQuarrie R2-D2 / C-3PO in Da House
I order these puppies last week and they arrived today. These were apparently only available [or originally available] at the Star Wars Celebration IV. If you are familiar with the concept artwork by Ralph McQuarrie for the original Star Wars [A New Hope] then these will look familiar otherwise they look very wrong. Â The figures…

Stan Lee Action Figure Update
Hasbro has come through. Now all I have to do is head over to their site and actually place an order for my very own Stan [the man] Lee Action figure. He can also turn into Spider-man and save the day. 🙂
