Why does Lego cost so bloody much?? The above Lego of the Death Star recently got released and its priced at $400! [Link]

I am not a fan of Barbie but things may change soon. Mattel are releasing a Barbie based on the classic Hitchcock movie Birds and for $45 it might be worth getting for the shelf. [Link]

The LEGO Storm Trooper! I managed to get it before it sold out on Lego.com. The Darth Vader key chain is still available though. [Link]

I passed by the Panasonic dealer in Salmiya (Easa Husain Al-Yousifi & Sons Co.) and noticed they are selling the Pleo Dinosaur. They’re selling it for KD129 which is around KD50 more expensive than Amazon. If you don’t know what the Pleo Dinosaur is its basically a robot dinosaur that can see, feel and grow (mentally). Its extremely cute and intelligent, if I didn’t think my dog Geo would eat it I would have already gotten one. You can check it out in action on the Pleo website, just click on discover once you get there. [Link]

Not the comedy group but the actual Axis of Evil. For $120 you can have your very own Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Kim Jung Kil, Osama Bin Laden and ghost of Saddam figurines! [Link]

I hope this website accepts international credit cards because I am so ordering this right after I finish this post. It even has a working front red sensor and it talks! [Link]

Thanks Nibaq

Check out this guy’s Star Wars collection. [Link]

I love popping bubblewraps but I don’t know how fun an electronic toy version would be. If its cheap I would get it… [Link]

Someone is selling a brand new boxed Lion-O figure on eBay. Currently the bid is at $127 but there is another one with a buy it now price of $750! [Link]

While watching my partner at work try to balance himself while standing on a soccer ball, it reminded me of this toy I had back in the 80’s. It was a disc with a rubber ball stuck in the middle and the aim was to stand on it and jump around.

I spent a good chunk of time trying to find a picture of it but I couldn’t. I remember it being called Disk-O-Jump or something of that sort but I couldn’t find any pictures or traces of it. Then I remembered the Pogo Stick and figured I try searching for Pogo Ball and to my surprise I found it. I really don’t remember it being called a Pogo Ball though… [Link]

Remember I posted about the vintage Matchbox car that was selling for $300 on eBay? Well I checked the status of the auction today and it turns out the car ended up selling for $1,385! [Link]

Fans of the The Office, The IT Crowd and Office Space will like this. Buy an army of employees and have them work in their cubicles for 8 hours straight and if you are in a really bad mood force them to work overtime.

In this office, you’re the boss!

Each set costs around $13. [Link]

I have a passion for vintage toys and video games and recently I realized if I had a lot of extra cash lying around what I would love to start collecting is vintage Matchbox cars like the one pictured above and currently currently going for $330 on eBay!. Thats one expensive little toy car…

I was watching two items on eBay today, the first was a brand new boxed Popeye Game & Watch, the second was a brand new boxed Oil Panic Game & Watch. I was willing to pay max $200 which I figured was a pretty good chunk of change but I just got home and checked to find out that I lost both bids. Both items got sold for around $270 each!

update: Just lost another bid this time on a boxed Simon, but whats messed up is I lost by 50 cents only!

Does anyone remember the game Simon (pictured above)? I’ve asked a few people around the office and even showed them pictures but none of them seem to remember it. They sell for really cheap on eBay.
