LEGO Green Toy Story Mini-Fig Soldiers – Prepare to Want

by Jay Garrett on March 9, 2010

You’ve probably seen Toy Story right?

Even if you’ve somehow managed to avoid the computer generated animated flick you may have played with those cheap green plastic soldiers – if you happen to be a certain cousin of mine you probably also set fire to them at some point too!

Well, the genii at LEGO have only gone and released mini-fig versions of the little green GI’s!

They even come complete with removable stands. There’s even a 3″ long Jeep and a stretcher.

The £9.99 pack contains:

4 Army Men minifigures, jeep and stretcher
Soldiers’ jeep equipped with spare tyre

Go here and buy at least one pack now!

That’s an order soldier!! Or is that a soldier order?………..

iPhone gets More Cowbell for Winter Olympics

by Jay Garrett on February 11, 2010

You can’t have winter sports without the backing track of cowbells being whacked as a skier goes flying past.

You try getting a cowbell on a plane in the current security climate and you’re not only going to be looking at getting nudie-scanned but probably getting unpleasantly probed.

Fear not as this inexpensive iPhone app is here to fill that void.

Pick your nation’s flag and shake your iPhone frantically as you no doubt watch Team GB lagging behind in some event-or-other (I’m hoping for a Canadian gold in the Hockey at least).

As well as the cowbell (as if you need anything else), you get a full schedule of Winter Olympic events, a handy Twitter feed of dozens of Olympic athletes, media outlets and bloggers, and a live medal table (you might notice that Kazakhstan is there but no Team GB – very telling).

You can even post comments and photos simultaneously to Facebook and/or Twitter as well as on the Live Wall.

It only costs £0.59 from the App Store and even if you don’t care about the Olympics you get a wicked Cowbell app

Bigtrak is Back! Now With Rockets and Digi Cam

This might be lost on those not around in the early 80’s but this gives me thrills aplenty!
Bigtrak was a marvel – It was a six-wheeled vehicle with a front-mounted blue photon beam headlamp, and a keypad on top.
Yup – this excitement is partly due to the fact that me and my bro never had [...]

Augmented Reality Rock, Paper, Scissors T-Shirt – Arm Busts out of Chest

Tiny i-Sobot Unleashes Weapons on Tanks, Dinosaurs and Random Toys

December 23, 2009 Click to read more →

The i-Sobot was once crowned as the world’s smallest bipedal humanoid robot and since then I reckon the power and the fame has gone to the little droids head.

I reckon that there’s more than a [...]

This clock may fill you with wonderment or just plain freak you out.
