Before going much further, let me again thank NascarBroncoFan, & Monica for essentially mounting a hostage rescue situation … except they didn’t have any weapons other than what they could muster with their bare hands (push carts and rolling carts were banned). For anyone not at Comic Con 2008 … I will try to capture […]

Here’s a schedule of things to do. Um, no way to see or do it all so pick and choose and as noted, sometimes the people in the room are not leaving so you might not get into everything. Eat lunch early or late but do not eat lunch between 11:45 and 1:15 … everyone […]

Mattel’s Disney Pixar CARS are like 15-year olds … if you don’t watch them carefully, they’ll just wander away and are soon splashed all over the internet 🙂 So, here are some unofficial unboxing photos … Of course, you’ve already seen the box from our last post so we’ll skirt over the technical details of […]

I admit I was never a huge fan of Iron Man but the movie trailer looks good and they were smart to get Robert Downey Jr. That guy might’ve had a lot of personal problems but he can flat out act.* I know the back story and while they are sticking to the gist of […]

Mattel is going to be crazy busy this summer with new movie launches. But in a way, Batman is easy – people pretty much just want the Batmobile – give it us in every scale and at every price point, we’re in. But Speed Racer beyond the Mach 5 is going to require a little […]

After 40 years, the George Barris Batmobile from the 1966 TV series still RULES ALL. And in 2008, Mattel is going to deliver just about every version in every nearly every scale. I’m not normally a large-scale (1:24, 1:18) diecast collector but these all look blazing cool … The “regular/standard issue” 1:18 scale Batmobile (currently […]

Since we’re at a CARS lull, how about this 3 3/4″ Star Wars thing? It looks like if I start now, I’m exactly 17,452 figures away from a complete set … perhaps I should find an easier line to collect … Yes, it looks like Hasbro has launched yet another cool Star Wars line – […]

There might not be many CARS on the store shelves but there are plenty at SF’s WonderCon comic book/toy show convention/exhibit which runs until tomorrow night. (They also run Comic-Con). There were at least 4 of these rack-cages … okay, the inside weren’t CARS but there definitely was not a shortage of them at the […]

Well, the show doesn’t officially open until tomorrow. Here’s an interesting quote, “Disney’s “Cars,” which, despite no new film or TV content, generated $2 billion in retail sales in 2007 and has become a major priority for Disney that it plans to support with additional content in the future.” HUMM … “The biggest trend industrywide […]

I posted another of these guys comics here. And here is another for your enjoyment! It pretty much sums up what many of us have thought from time to time I am sure. Just right click to expand the image.  Enjoy their archives over at Butternutsquash here.
