LEGO Store opening in King of Prussia

Yes, the title of this post has been confirmed.  First there was a rumor that a store manager position for a Lego store in King of Prussia was posted on Monster.com (I checked, it’s still online but I suspect they already hired someone …damn, I’m too late!)
Then a helpful enthusiast on FBTBForums noted that the [...]


Make Your Own: Papercraft Star Wars Minifigs

In case you were completely out-geeked by fellow Star Wars fans and haven’t had anything to show for standing in line at Toys’R’Us’ Midnight Madness extravaganza, here’s something for you. The templates and instructions can be found at Japanese site Piro Model. Truthfully I think we could benefit from an english version of [...]


Robotic Chick: Adorable, Tastes Like Electronics

I always enjoyed PETA’s “I Am Not A Nugget” campaign. Why? Because it’s hysterical. Little cartoon chick, you are a nugget. Deal with it. However, this adorable robotic baby chick by the people over at Brando, is not.
Produced by Sega, this little baby chicken will flap its wings, chirp, cry, and act like an actual [...]


Cubesday: Iron Man Bobble Head

To celebrate, you should pick up this sweet looking Iron Man bobble head for [...]

Coop, a photographer / artist / Japanese toy collector living in Los Angeles, has an amazing collection of Japanese monster toys, [...]


Cubesday: Cubicle Warfare Using An iBird

You know, I’m willing to accept the fact that I might be a bad person. Because every time I see a new, cute, adorable remote controlled toy, all I can think of are the ways I plan on using it as a means of reigning havoc inside my cubespace on my poor neighbors. The iBird… [...]

Happy St. Skeletor Day!

Chances are, if you’re one of them single types, you might have been a little put off by our mass coverage of Valentine’s Day content yesterday. Despite how adorabul that puppy and piglet might have been, deep down inside, you still just wanted to eat them.
So jaded singles, rejoice! Today is St. Skeletor’s Day. Falling [...]


Halo Laser Tag: The Battle for Center City

Ever look at Center City and think to yourself, “Wouldn’t it be great it this was empty of people and cars, allowing myself and some friends to play a giant game of laser tag?” And then, realizing you were already asking too much, you might have thought to go all in, “It’d be even better [...]
