Tumbler Autobot Edition...

I’m looking at this and I was a bit confused, until I took a better look at the hi-resolution picture and suddenly I was smiling. I didn’t even have to read any information to know what was going on, I do enjoy how much strong Transformers is still going, so Transformers 2 has to be damn good, but this is different, this is merging two different worlds. Turning Batman’s Tumbler into a Transformer is a genius idea, what superhero can’t use a super robot. I thought it was for sale because this model looks like its made out of metal, I’m looking for an order button, but it seems I have to wait.

Buzz Ball...

Who wouldn’t like to have their own personal roller coaster, the only things you need is a strong stomach and a wide open space.

A pair of electric motors is used to power the BuzzBall, so you don’t need a steep hill to enjoy it, just a large open space. Each motor is controlled by a separate throttle which will either cause the chair to spin inside the ball or work together to push the ball forward. However, once the BuzzBall is in motion and the pilot decides to turn, their seat inside the ball will rotate against the direction of travel resulting in spins, somersaults, corkscrews, barrel rolls and other nausea inducing motions. And just remember, if you do happen to vomit inside the BuzzBall, it’s coming along on the ride with you.

Mazinger Z...

So after watching Mazinkaizer and having the resin model, I watched a few episodes of Mazinger Z. I remembered the anime to be better then that, but still it brought back good memories. Since I was in Rihab I decided to pass by the Hobby Shop since I remember them having some Mazinger Z models and I really couldn’t help myself. When I saw this model I just couldn’t help myself and had to have it, I like having these unique looking models and it does give my room a very personal touch. And then there is the coolness factor that just can not be denied.

LEGO Johnny-5...

I have seen some really cool LEGO pieces, I don’t think there is a person out there that doesn’t appreciate the creativity behind it. The person who worked on this model made the most realistic looking Johnny 5 model I have ever seen, it looks like an exact replica from Short Circuit. All thats left is the voice box and him to start moving around after a lightning strike.

Flytech Bladestar...

R/C Helicopters are always fun, tried one recently but I seemed to crash into people and walls a lot. WowWee who are the makers of Robosapien have come up with the perfect helicopter for fun indoors. The Flytech Bladester has a 12 inch wingspan and sensors, once you get it up in the air it moves way from walls, ceilings, objects, and other things which might stop it from flying. It can stay hovering in its spot without any control from a person, if you get to close it hovers away based on its sensors. I would want to try this out sooner rather then later, it looks like it would be a lot of fun.

Price: $90
