Nelson Blindspot is a nice addition to the Deluxe lineup. Not only is he is a huge metal diecast but he comes with glued on headset AND a giant plastic camera accessory. Thanks, “John H.” for some great photos. At a quick glance, he looks like a repaint of “Murphy,” from the Sarge Boot Camp […]

As you may have heard, Target was the target of underground hackers … so if you still have a credit limit, Target is saying it’s all good – bring back your credit card and get 10% off this weekend! Target’s CEO openly apologized today for the hack that swiped data from about 40 million credit […]

The Gloria C8F is essentially a scale down Formula 1 race car – you get a in car view riding with Liber Federico, the winner of this year’s Cividale Castelmonte Hillclimb timed race. More details at LiveLeak. You can read more about the Hillclimb event HERE.

“John H.” sends along great photos of Mattel’s Franz Fliegenhosen, which is a fun diecast. The back propeller spins.   It is nicely detailed.   But compared to the Disney Store Franz, he is lacking the split feature – he is a flying car that tows his wings. As you can tell, Disney Store Franz […]

Finally, a carrying case of all your extras Francesco’s.

If you collect variants, Snot Rod with Flames is a definite production variant. It seems the first production ones were transparent at the base and opaque at the top of flames (foreground one).

If you have 200,000 LEGO bricks laying about, you too can build your own Rivendall (from Lord of the Rings, of course). Good luck! You can check out more photos at WIRED.

Not sure when they are coming but we can count the current ones as Wave 1. Wave 2 is coming soon – these will obviously be out after Wave 2 – so presuming Wave 2 is late winter (post Christmas reset?), then these should be out by Spring, 2014. There is a Netherlands PLANE – […]

The next PLANES single case F is not very exciting … It’s mostly a case to restock retail: Bulldog, Chug, Dusty, El Chupacabra, Ripslinger, Rochelle, Skipper, and Zed. So, it’s sort of like the when the movie first opened – so nice for kids who open up the DVD/Blu Ray on Christmas Day, watch it […]

Japan’s Tomy Takara has a pretty cool playset for their PLANES diecasts. Yep, it comes with everything you see here, including some cool stalks to have the PLANES above the tents. It even folds up into a book. It says it’s 12 inches long but I’m not sure if that’s the size folded? I’m under […]
