Epic Lego Minifigure Battles! Stars of Series 2 and 3 throw down!

A little somethin somethin I've been filming. Please share with your friends.

2010 Christmas Holiday Toys I would Recommend, Star Wars, Legos Minifigures, Batman, Iron Man, Zhu Zhu Warriors, and a Happy Fun Ball

Here are my toy suggestions for awesomeness this year, being the toy collector guru that I am. Before I throw down, I want to remind you that my choices fall for both boys and girls (even though most choices are unfairly labeled as boys toys). Its ridiculous to divide the toy aisles that way, and I hope when you buy for your kids you are thinking what best toy will spark their imagination. Maybe, get what they ask for first, but also surprise them with something different too.

I Start with the Star Wars Hailfire Droid RC Vehicle. I can't think of a better toy to run over your armies of Star Wars figures. As a bonus you can chase your cat and fire missiles at it. I haven't got to play with one yet, but I bet with those two big wheels, you don't have to worry about it falling over too much.

DC Super Friends, HeroWorld, from Fisher Price look like a nice durable play toy for the Batman Superman world. And if those don't fly Imaginext and Trio also look fun. I can't stop playing with my Imaginext Batcave set.

Did someone finally invent SNL's Happy Fun Ball? It looks that way with these Super Bounce Spring Balls made in Germany, sold at Toys R Us. They have an authentic warning label and they did bounce pretty far (and what is that residue left on my hands?). Watch out for your chandeliers!

Iron Man toys are on the list this year. I would suggest buying three or four, so the fun metal battles begin. Which reminds me, try sticking with a theme for giving toys. Pick a few from the same line to play with. That way you teach your kid the ways of unhealthy toy collecting and hopefully toy hoarding.

Lego Minifigures are perfect stocking stuffers, IF you can find them...

Godzilla is a holiday icon under the tree, but this year, show Mothra some love. I found this one at Toys R Us too.

Star Wars Legos are the best of the best in Legos. There are a ton of cool ships and minifigures to choose from. This new Wampa pack is spectacular. Also search for the Wampa floor rug, thats funny.

For Zhu Zhu pets, I would go with the warriors, as its way more fun. If you want a regular Zhu Zhu pet, go get a real hamster. If you want something greener with weapons go with the warriors. Don't forget to get them their armor too (it takes a few minutes to figure out who wears what).

The Arena set is hilarious. They make funny noises, and then charge each other for supremacy. If you're still not sold, think of the holiday gambling opportunities when the spiked egg nog kicks in.

So thats my first list of suggestions. If I see any more must haves, I will let you know in the next few weeks.

Hot Wheels, 2010 Batmobile, Bold and Brave

So this Batmobile does exist! Modeled after the Vroom machine from Batman: The Brave & The Bold, it's another addition to the Batmobile pile of Hot Wheels cars. Its pretty neat overall but it does have a very trim waist line. I like the bat head feature on the front, makes for good style. The tail section is very reminiscent of the old 60's Batmobile. I found two, as once I learned its number, 42 of 44, and color of box, yellow, I got on my hands and knees to hunt. I will have to try it on the official Batman track to see how it flys. Yes of course, go buy it if you don't have it! Its only a dollar, Bruce pays way more for his.

Lego Minifigures Series 3 is out! Is there a code to crack?

As quickly as series 2 came and went, series 3 is now on a local store shelf. About six cases too, so maybe Lego upped the production? I just hope that when I return, some idiot didn't buy all six cases. The bad news is, the code breaker bar code is gone, and the chaos now begins. Great job Lego, now morons will be slicing these open with pocket knifes, and leaving a mess all over store aisles. It happened with Attactix, it happened with Hotwheels mystery cars, it will happen with these minifigures. I thought the bar code breaker was a perfect compromise. It lets collectors get what they want with a little detective work, and it lets casual buyers still pick up something mysterious. Of course you can still play what's in the package and press, and smoosh, and identify with your fingers, but it takes a while and you look silly doing it. I bought eight to start, and went 7 for 8 with one repeat. I smooshed them all in the comforts of home, its a Sumo, so if someone wants to trade for it, let me know. I think I will go back and smoosh a few under a clothing rack or something, I Hope that won't be too creepy. Maybe I can get a gram scale, and measure each minifigures mass, then we would know which pack weighs what, and get this code cracked.

Hot Wheels, City Works, Four-1 '10

I'm a sucker for the smaller Hot Wheels cars. This little black Four-1, seats 1 but has a four cylinder engine.

I bet this car could find a parking spot anywhere.

The best part is I don't have to Ebay another Go-Kart, as now I have two mini cars perfect for my next stop motion project! Stay tuned summer of '15. But if you can't wait that long, re-watch my last one Sexy Avatar Dance, or at least watch it! 50 views?!! Come on people, use your Facebook links. :)

Sexy Avatar Dance, Jake Sully and Neytiri

Might be crossing the line with this one, but as soon as I saw Neytiri out of the package, and how inappropriately she was dressed for a toy, and still not knowing what to do with Jake Sully in a wheel chair, well stop motion gold happened. Enjoy.

Iron Man Mark II, Movie Series

I have a stock pile of toys in boxes by my desk that really needs some attention. Iron Man Mark II finally gets a chance to fly out of the package tonight (and yes, I will send out your Lego Minifigure soon bubbashelby, and yes, sad that the Post Office is only a couple blocks away!).

Each new Iron Man figure out of the package becomes my favorite. I like how shiny this guy is, but not being super reflective. In the box all the black line detailing looks funny, but in hand looks nice. This figure is solid too, no loose joints. His weapon launcher fits firmly on arm, but a little dorky looking. A vary impressive action figure all around.
