Loot Crate Summon

I received the most recent Loot Crate this week. I get them sent to me from Loot Crate so that I can review them. I’ve been doing this since the very beginning of Loot Crate and I still enjoy this very much. I’ve had friends sign up for Loot Crate and then stop. Some regretted it, some didn’t. Each month I find something within that I enjoy. This month I really liked the Supernatural replica car. That is a show I’ve been meaning to get into but it has so many seasons that it is intimidating to get into it. As for the rest of the crate, there were some interactive things inside and there were items from a game called Heartstone. One of my friends at work asked me about it so I gave that item to him, it was a stress ball and there was also a special coin and card set for Blizzard. I gave him that as well. I did an unboxing video of the whole crate. Continue reading Unboxing the Summon Loot Crate

A Whole Slew of Properties are Coming to LEGO Dimensions! Plus Each Vehicle Builds 3 Times! Re-Re-Build!

The World of LEGO Dimensions is getting a whole heck of a lot bigger. Today it was announced that The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Portal, Jurassic World, Midway Arcade, LEGO Chima and Scooby-Doo! are coming to LEGO Dimensions! Holy crap that is a ton more characters, vehicles and gadgets that will be added to the game. I have a bunch of fun screenshots and some product images for the game that were also released today and a video showing how each vehicle and gadget can be rebuilt 3 times. First, the video.

That is really cool. The batmobile becomes three things. I also have some examples of how other vehicles become three things, like the Cyborg Cyber-Guard and the Time MAchine form Back to the Future. Check these out.

December Loot Crate: Anniversary


Photo-A-Day #3558

I am a bit late with my Loot Crate review from December. I received my crate right before the Holidays and well, things got a bit backed up. I finally got to explore the crate today and there were some very cool things inside. The crate itself becomes the Bat Cave which is great because the exclusive Funko Pop figure was Joker Batman-Batman. That is what he’s called. It is Batman dressed as The Joker as Batman. You can kinda get stuck in a loop there.

A bunch of other things were included. some good some not that special. The theme was Anniversary because so many properties have Anniversaries this year (ahem… Transformers turned 30, where was their representation). Some of the big ones were Marvel turning 75 and Batman 75 plus The Simpsons are 25 and Tetris is probably around that same age. Ghostbusters are 30 and their item was pretty much the lamest part. Otherwise it was a strong box filled with fun stuff. I loved the piece done about Zen Monkey Studios. That guy is amazing. Check out all the things in the crate. Oh and there were “I Am Groot” socks!

This is the Desk that my Desk Aspires to Be

People at work see my desk and say, “Man, you have a lot of toys!”. Well, I point you to the image above. That is not my desk. That is the desk that my desk wants to be. The guy who is at that desk like so many of the same things that I do and has found some very amazing stuff. I occasionally go down to his desk at night and check out to see what new item he has added. There is often a new LEGO set or Transformer or more.

I feel like the Joker and think to myself “Where does he get all those wonderful toys.”.

Treehouse of Horrors 18 this Sunday

What has become a Halloween, or rather week after Halloween, tradition is the Simpson’s Treehouse of horrors. This Sunday the yearly event happens on Fox. There will be Marge all decked out in her pearl necklace and green dress. Homer in his signature white shirt and blue pants and Bart, “Eat My shorts” Simpson in his orange T-shirt. Bart is always ready for Halloween.

According to YahooTV:

The series’ 18th Halloween show features three vignettes that parody movies: one that spoofs “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”; one that sends up “E.T.”; and one that parodies “Se7en.”

I am very interested in watching this as I do so each year and enjoy it every time. Set your TIVO. Yeah we need to get one of those too.
