Odds ‘n Ends > Lego News, Po-rtal-tato, JLU
There’s been a lot of Lego news this week. First off is Lego’s new girl-oriented brand. I’ve seen some knee-jerk reactions from geeks that the sets are too girly and that it’s wrong to characterize Star Wars/Indiana Jones sets as solely boy-oriented. I agree with the latter statement, but after reading the article, I don’t [...]
Happy Wind Raider Day!
[Here's the link to the all-in-one page.] With Demo-Man delayed, I think we can all agree the real reason everyone’s hitting Mattycollector today will be for the Wind Raider.

Reviews > Robin & Joker (Arkham City, Mattel)
He sat in the ragged chair. Its yellowed stuffing burst from a dozen seams. A small TV flickered before him. It was one of his favorite programs–CCTV footage spliced from the TYGER cameras that loomed over every street corner of the so-called Arkham City. The footage, barely visible, showed a small, dark figure skulking about [...]
