A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
Skylanders first entered the scene in October 2011 with Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure — a revolutionary new game that bundled action figures with a “Portal of Power,” which allows you to transport your physical toy into the virtual world of the game. Spyro’s Adventures was a mega-hit and went on to become the top selling console [...]
I may have mentioned this one or two (hundred) times, but I am a huge fan of the Halo video game franchise. Not only do I love the games, but I also devour the mythos and backstory of the Halo universe, so when a new art book comes out detailing aspects of the game, you [...]
I’m ready for the big day. Don’t bother to call or write, I’ll be busy. But don’t worry, I have everything I’ll need for the marathon session… It’s the Mountain Dew Halo 4 collector cans! How can you not get pumped up for the game seeing graphics like this? Here’s the Halo 3 can next [...]
As a fan of of the Halo video game franchise since the beginning, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video series. There have been plenty of rumors about a live-action Halo movie for years, and this is a great start to what I hope will become the next big thing. I’m not [...]
“Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in!” While doing some back to school shopping for the kiddos the other day, I wandered into the toy aisles and was confronted with Batmobiles as far as the eye could see–and many of them were on clearance. Well, what’s a guy to do? I [...]
I think I might have fallen in love with a new toy line. McFarlane Toys has this new series of Micro-Ops vehicles and figures in the 15mm scale. I couldn’t resist this Warthog and Mongoose set, but they also have larger buildings based on the scenes from the video game. I have dreamed of building [...]
This looks incredible! LEGO has another smash on its hands, and I can not wait to play this game. Game features will include: Explore all of the open-world of Middle-earth and experience epic battles with Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog, the Witch-king, and other fearsome creatures. Wield the power of the Palantír or Seeing-stone (‘one that [...]
My birthday is coming up… This is the new AC/DC Pro pinball machine from Stern Pinball. This would look incredible in my basement, plus it actually plays 12 full AC/DC tracks, so it can double as the stereo system. Bonus! T.N.T. Dinomite! The ageless Angus Young! All this is now available for the low, low price [...]
Caution: If you call yourself a video game collector, this guy will make you feel very, very inadequate. Honestly, I never saw the allure of holding onto old video game systems but after watching this video, I am sorely nostalgic for all my old consoles. Everything in this collector’s room is gaming-centric, from the furniture [...]
There were plenty of yard sales this weekend, but I wasn’t able to hit them until after 11:00AM again, so the pickings were already pretty well picked by the time I got there. I found a few fun items, including an E.T. doll and a Prince Adam He-Man action figure. The surprise of the day [...]
