By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Dec 19th 2007 No Comments

Look at this thing, if it was all black I’d think it was straight out of Magnum PI. It’s a miniature Hughes 300 helicopter that is remote controlled.

Deluxe Laser Challenge Pro Set

By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Dec 12th 2007 1 Comment

I’ve played laser tag maybe twice in my life and from what I remember I loved it. I’ve never fired an actual gun and I’ll adamantly let you know that I’m against guns but for some strange reason I do enjoy playing games that involve them. Perhaps in another life I was huntress. Who knows.

Flux Capacitor, now all you need to do is get your hands on a De Lorean

By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Dec 5th 2007 No Comments

Sadly it’s just a replica and won’t help you get back to the day you were conceived so you can slap your dad on the ass as he’s going at it and then laugh maniacally. But it does look cool, and if you do happen to have the good fortune of owning a DMC-12, it would be a very fitting accessory to add to your vehicle.

Hello Kitty – Has the Cat Gone too Far?

By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Nov 28th 2007 2 Comments

I never gave Hello Kitty much thought before today, but after what I’ve seen I must admit I’m a little afraid. Hello Kitty is slowly but surely taking over the world.

Hello Kitty Bike Treads

It started innocently enough, I’m sure, with DVD’s, clothes, etc… and even this item, the Hello Kitty Bicycle Tires, aren’t that bad. They have the cutesy little kitten’s face imprinted in the tread so wherever you go, Hello Kitty goes too. You can buy them for $20-$25 a piece. To be honest, I passed this item up my first time through. It was the next item that really caught my attention.

The only thing I could think to add would be the world ‘Ultimate’. It is the ultimate arcade game machine. For all those old school gamers out there, let me alleviate your burning curiosity.

AluRunner high tech sled folds away for convenient transportation

By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Nov 27th 2007 No Comments

Ever wish, when you were a kid, that you had a sled to go down the hill on that was designed more like a very high end sports car? Well, it might be a little late, and furthermore, it might be a bit more than a kid’s budget could afford, but its here.

high tech sledge 12

This sled is mad from 6061 aluminum that’s buckle resistant (it’s the same stuff they make some pretty high end bike frames out of) and a transparent polycarbonate seat (that’s the same stuff used for crash helmets). Furthermore, there is a shock, ala a car, that sits underneath the seat, and its adjustable per the terrain and the weight of the rider.

By Christina Crouch on Tuesday, Nov 27th 2007 No Comments

I’m a big Dr. Who fan, so when I saw these items you can imagine my excitement. The Dr. Who R/C K9 and Sonic Screwdriver are the perfect gift for the Dr. Who buff in your life.

With the Discovery Amazing Money Jar, kids can now experience that same feeling.

AntWorks Habitat

By Christina Crouch on Friday, Nov 23rd 2007 No Comments

An ant farm is one of those childhood experiences that I never had, Sea Monkeys of course, but no ants. Lucky for me I now live next to a farm who introduced ants into their crop to keep other pests away and many of them find their way into my house. For those of you who are not as lucky as me there is the AntWorks.

Based on a NASA experiment this habitat makes ants cool in a way they never could be. It’s nutritious, yet homey, gel will satisfy all your ants needs, food and shelter. It comes complete with a LED illuminator and comes in blue or red. Each habitat comes with a magnifying glass, an ant catching/tunnel starting tool and an instruction booklet.

USB Toys -R/C Mini Car W/ Garage and Basketball Dunk Game

By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Nov 21st 2007 No Comments

R/C Mini Car W/ Garage With all the different USB toys and gadgets on the market I’m beginning to wonder whether USB doesn’t really stand for U Stop Boredom. Today I ran across these two USB supported toys that help support that theory.

The first was the R/C Mini Car w/ Garage. After a brief charging and of course the software installation (Windows only) you can drive this mini cooper look alike around your desk. You use the arrows keys to navigate and can even honk the horn with a simple press of the space bar. It’s only $30 and it’s a great way to relieve boredom and stress.
