Cars Themed Wild Walls by Uncle Milton

Wild Walls Cars

We received a Cars themed Wild Walls to use and review. Opinions of it are 100% our own.

Andrew enjoys the movie Cars very much. He can recognize Lightning McQueen easily and shout his name. When we received the Wild Walls Cars set he shouted “McQueen!” and was very excited about it. Then I let him push the button and hear the sounds and see the lights. He is 2 1/2 so he wanted to push that button over and over and over.

I brought the box up to his room and opened the package. I read through the instructions which recommend that you lay out the decal sheet for 24 – 48 hours so that the sheet lays flat. It comes all rolled up and by laying it flat you will have an easier time keeping the decals stuck to the walls. Take care when removing the decals as some parts of them seemed to be not as perforated as others.

Wild Walls Cars on the Wall

I installed the unit on the wall and this has quickly become a fun nighttime activity for Andrew. I put the unit up slightly out of his reach so that I need to pick him up to push the button. Or so I thought, He uses a little step stool to boost himself up and push the button and we have awoken to sounds of race cars on more than one morning. Luckily you can set the unit to just do lights and the sounds aren’t crazy loud.

All in all a good little way to dress up a child’s room with their favorite characters. You can find Wall Friends at select Target stores as well as on Target.com. There are a variety of characters including Cars, Toy Story and more.

Lightcore Bumble Blast


Photo-A-Day #3315

There is one guy at my local Toys R Us who is both knowledgeable about Skylanders and helpful. These are super rare qualities in the Toys R Us employees that I have spoken with over the past 3 or so years about the game. Last week I went into the local Toys R Us to find Lightcore Bumble Blast. I wasn’t able to get him on the release date of the 5th of May so I tried again later. I found nothing. I asked an employee who told me that they didn’t get him in. I won’t ask that guy another thing again, he had no clue.

So I was in today and I was looking at the wall of Skylanders looking for Lightcore Bumble Blast when the guy who actually knows things asked me if I was looking for anything particular. I told him which one. He scanned the bar code located that they had a box of the figures and went and got them for me. That’s the guy I have to go back to each time I search for new figures. He actually knows something and gave a cap enough to help me.
