It's interesting that there's a lot of cross-branding going on with toys since I've been "back in the market". Star wars lego is all over the place. I like the way that lego has even made it's way into console games with lego Indiana Jones starring in one recent console title. One of the most out-there ones was star wars transformers. Combine Hans Solo robot and Chewbacca robot into the Millenium Falcon!!! Who comes up with these ideas?!?!? No seriously, who does? And do they want to give me a job?
I reckon we can settle the whole geek debate on Ninjas vs Pirates once and for all. Why should we have to choose ninjas or pirates when you can have.... ninja pirates!!! They can stealthily sail up to cargo ships at night, board the ship, silently kill the captain with shurikens and steal all the booty without being seen or heard by the rest of the crew. And they can have ninja wenches that clean their ninja suits for them, oil their ninja swords and and fetch them rum.
One for the yuppies amongst us - a toy Krupps espresso machine. How cool is that? Besides, it also has practical applications. It'd be good to make a barista out of the boy so that someone else can drive the coffee machine.
This is why Dads want boys. I get to play with toys all over again and it's all legit. Well mostly... I haven't quite got the case for a PS3 past bananas yet. "Really dear, it's not for me. TJ will grow into it".
