Photo-A-Day #3795

I blame the guys from Dad.FM for my newest obsessive compulsive-ness. They told me about apps that let you know if a shipment has been generated for your address from Fed Ex or UPS. Well, on Sunday Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars comes out and I am going to be getting a review copy of the game. So, I’ve been checking the apps to see if a shipment notification has been generated and last night at work I noticed that I had one! It told me that the package was coming and will be here monday by 10:30am. Great, because I sleep on Mondays and when I wake up the game should be at the house.

But then I got another message saying that the package may be delayed and that UPS was going to try and get me the package by Saturday. Not sure if that would be today or next Saturday. I checked the app over and over and it did not update and the package did not come. I got into work and saw that the package had gone from Valencia, CA to Van Nuys, CA. And most recently I checked at that information is not longer showing, it is like the package went back a few steps. It now says order processed, ready for UPS. What the heck! I certainly hope it arrives on Monday, now. some of my friends have already received the game. The Toy Queen got hers and I hounded her to find out what came in the box. I need to know before I attempt any hunting tomorrow with the release of the game. She told me and she also made this video.

Well now, I definitely cannot wait until Monday. I hope that UPS pulls through for me.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-Machines Review


Photo-A-Day #3794

I received a bunch of T-Machines recently and I have a review of them today. Opinions are 100% my own. I first heard about the T-Machines line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles inspired vehicles at Toy Fair 2015. Each vehicle features a TMNT character popping out of a car of some sort. The line has basic cars, talking cars and even playsets and tracks. I received two single basic vehicles, one vehicle with sound and the Garage and Lair Playset. I made a video of my impressions of the toys and you can watch that below.

So, overall I like these toys. I would like to have more Donatello toys in my collection but that is besides the point. The vehicles have great rolling wheels and are very fast. I see that there is a big racing tower like playset that is either out or coming out soon and I’d love to race these vehicles against others that I have to see which are faster. I like the idea of being able to put the playsets together and make a larger play area. Also, by making the set have two levels it increase the play area even more. That is a great idea.
