Ahhhh, now THAT is a cool castle set! Ok, sure, it doesn’t have a baseplate unifying the set. And LEGO’s box art obnoxiously includes a bushel of hay for that there horsie to eat, but come ON this set rocks! All sorts of details are throughout, with nice use of traditionally non-castle pieces (such as […]
Uk game site MCV is reporting that Nintendo will announce a new version of the DS tomorrow, guaranteed (their word). Although no specifics are known, word on the street is that the new DS will incorporate PMP functionality (to play MP3s at least) and a camera. Cool. MCV
RFID and NFC aren’t really new, but up til now, the most exciting use for the tech has been either keeping track of razor blades at Wal-Mart or playing music from your Nokia cellphone on a set of speakers.

According to LEGO, today’s the 30th anniversary of the world-famous minifigure. I’m not sure how that’s the case since the first sets with mini-figs started showing up in the U.S. in ’77, but I’ll play along. You may have already heard that there’s a dedicated website for this most plasticky of birthday parties at gominimango.com, […]
Well I guess we’ll find out if Blackberry are the litigious types, what with Bandai naming their kiddie “smartphone” SmartBerry. No chance of getting them confused visually, though: Bandai has colored this little gadget all pink and blue in an effort to appeal to everybody (or nobody, depending on your point of view). So what’s […]
Yeah, yeah, I know, you saw that headline coming a mile away. That aside, these look really nice…hopefully the production pieces are as nice as those in the photos, but based on Kidrobot’s track record for quality, I’d say it’s very likely. There are 27 figures in all, including 3 chase figures. Prepare to drop […]
Pirates was always my favorite specialty theme (well, tied with Space). Heck, I still have all of the original Pirates sets. All of the ones released mass market in the U.S. anyway. And a few others. So it’s with much joy that we hear that Pirates are making a comeback for 2009! Thanks to a […]
The world of LEGO keeps getting better and better, doesn’t it? Although the original in Agra, India, was completed 360 years ago, you’ll have to wait until September 15th to even start yours. The 10189 Taj Majal just became available for pre-order at LEGO’s website. Even better, this 5,922-piece set has one of the best […]
Exterminating the Doctor is one thing, but exterminating $230 of your hard-earned Earth dollars? That’s just WRONG. Unless, afterward, you walk away (or home) with this 18″ interactive, radio-controlled Dalek. Available in two versions (the normal, gold version and the Dalek Sec black version), this beauty from The Character Group and available at ThinkGeek has full R/C operation […]
