This was new to me, but can be found (low stock though) at most of the online toy retailers.

Friday, August 8, 2008
Kids need bells and whistles these days. Actually, kids would scoff at bells and whistles (and yo-yos and Atari and..) these days. But for those of us born in the 1970s, we didn’t need a hyper-articulated $300 Bertie the Pipebomb to make us happy; we had Legos. It’s now been 30 years since Lego launched its [...]

Friday, June 27, 2008
Thanks to spies good folks like “naughtyguy9394″ on Hong Kong forums like Uwants, we can all have a look at the Medicom Toy Exhibition 2008.

Wednesday, June 11, 2008
Each finale of LOST is always bittersweet: it gives you some answers, but it leaves you with more questions. For last month’s season 4 closer, the biggie is what badness occurred on the island after The Oceanic 6 left, prompting the ever-faithful John Locke (aka Jeremy Bentham) to end up back on U.S. shores in [...]

It’s about damn time. When I found out about the Darth Maul with Sith speeder Kubrick about six months ago, I thought it would never come out, yet here it is! Although Phantom Menace was one of the worst/most disappointing movies ever, it did give way to one of the coolest (if not [...]
