Rescue Bots Salvage and New Boulder


Photo-A-Day #3609

Right before I went to Toy Fair 2015 I was shopping with Andrew and saw that there were new Rescue Bots on the shelves. I pick up all things Rescue Bots because they are the gateway to my children loving Transformers as much as I do. I hope. Eva’s very first Transformer was an Optimus Prime Rescue Bot. Now Andrew is getting interested in Rescue Bots and I am all about encouraging that interest.

I saw a bunch more new figures and playsets coming out for Rescue Bots and can’t wait to share them with the kids. I think that they are going to go wild for them.

Toy Fair 2015 – Day 2


Photo-A-Day #3601

Today at Toy Fair I was running from appointment to appointment all over the main show floor once again. I was up pretty early because I had fallen asleep super early last night. I made my way over to the Javitis Center and started my day with a tour of the Just Play toys which included many Disney, Care Bears and Snoopy toys. I had to cut that appointment short because it was time for the Mattel blogger preview on the top floor of the Javits.

With Mattel I was able to see new toys for Blaze and the Monster Machines, Hot Wheels, Imaginext, Batman and so many more properties. There are some fun toys coming for all of those lines but Hot Wheels has an amazing 4 story car garage that is amazing. I want to get that for Andrew.

I also met with Razor scooters and saw the Crazy Cart XL which can hold a 6’4 240lb man. The biggest cart that they have made yet. There are a ton of super cool other toys that are coming. There is even an adult sized trike that I really , really want.

The rest of the day was full of seeing so many toys and games and cool things. The night was capped off with the Hasbro event with the folks at Litzky PR. I love the tour around Hasbro and seeing so many amazing things. I got to see the Devastator toy which is HUGE. It is incredible. Photos do not do it any sort of justice.

After that event I went to dinner with my friends Keri, Derek and Adam. We had a great meal with great conversation. It was a later night than last night but so good to be out with friends laughing and having such a great time. I wish this was more than once a year.
