Skate GX Trick Park makes for an Awesome display base

The best things are found at the weirdest places. The Weird place today was the Grocery Outlet store, and behold a Skate GX Trick park for 1.99! Now there is a gray area if this counts as a toy or not, I say its a toy display item so it doesn't count.

Toy display item you ask? Thats right, this thing is perfect for a toy display. Check out this otherwise boring classic Transformers display...

Look how they just stand there, slumping their shoulders and just being bored all the time.

Now introduce the Skate GX Trick Park, and now see how everything dazzles! (sorry Sky Lynx couldn't fit).

That's right, it has both a stepped display side, and a totally awesome ramp for those action shoots you desire.

And it can be yours for a 1.99, if you have a Grocery Outlet store in your neighborhood!

And of course, its totally wheel chair accessible!

Go get yours RIGHT NOW!

A Herculean decorating tip

Some of the most greatest Herculean events happen in the bathroom, that is why ours is decorated with Hercules giving anyone strength beyond strength in any situation.



I think I crossed the line two days in a row now.

Cleaning Scuba

Scuba spent years in old Sparticus's fish tank, and accumulated quite the muck. I finally took a minute to wash him.


There is still a little Sparticus filth left on him, but I'll let it slide.


Now he can join his friends on the windowsill ledge and fade into the sunset.

Key to realistic toy displaying

The key to reenacting the battle between Young Indiana Jones and the attacking Lion in the boxcar is to use a background that reflects that scene. Since I do not have a scaled boxcar, I used Optimus Prime's trailer to much success. A gift given to me I suppose, I can recreate any movie scene with up to 90% accuracy!

You don't think so?


Well how about on top of Primes trailer?! Surely now, you agree of my talents?!

Decorating Tip of the week

Whatever you do, never place Dreadnoks near fake fine crystal. Dreadnok's devalue anything near or around them!

And it's highly possible that when your back is turned, the fine crystal will either be stolen, or smashed onto the floor.

Do this exactly and your guests will say, "thats terrific!"

Place a flatbed scanner ontop of high plastic toy drawer containers that is too high to connect scanner to computer. Put Grand Moff Tarkin Attacktix, Lego Spinosaurus, and new black Lego Bionicle on top, in that correct order. Above, a Romulan Warbirdy hung with 10lb fishing line and anchored by a plant hook.

Do this... NOW!
