Everyone can talk a big game about charity, post a few banner ads and so forth, but the real test of one’s beneficence is to get off one’s lazy ass (and by “one” I mean me) and buy and drop off a toy for Toys for Tots. Given that most Toys R Us stores in the country serves as drop-off locations, it’s easy. It’s just a matter of remembering to do it when you’re already at TRU checking to see if the latest wave of NECA Predators has shown up yet.

It took me a few minutes to decide what toy to donate. Part of me wanted to pick something I knew kids today like, like Gogo’s Crazy Bones or Air Hogs. Of course, another part of me wanted to proselytize my own love of action figures with a DC vs. MOTUC set or a ThunderCats figure.

Then I spotted the perfect item: Godzilla. All kids love dinosaurs, and Godzilla is one of my nearest and dearest childhood loves.

So now that I’ve gotten off my butt and donated, it’s your turn. The good news is, by donating and sending proof (either a pic of yourself donating–you can crop or blur the face to preserve your anonymity–or an email receipt from an online cash donation, etc.) you’re eligible to win all sorts of awesome prizes from Geeks for Tots.

G4T is the brainchild of Poe Power Pal Paul of The Robot’s Pajamas. And be sure to check out his online toy store if you’re looking for holiday gifts for the toy collector in your life (even if that’s just you).
