I love popping bubblewraps but I don’t know how fun an electronic toy version would be. If its cheap I would get it… [Link]

Someone is selling a brand new boxed Lion-O figure on eBay. Currently the bid is at $127 but there is another one with a buy it now price of $750! [Link]

While watching my partner at work try to balance himself while standing on a soccer ball, it reminded me of this toy I had back in the 80’s. It was a disc with a rubber ball stuck in the middle and the aim was to stand on it and jump around.

I spent a good chunk of time trying to find a picture of it but I couldn’t. I remember it being called Disk-O-Jump or something of that sort but I couldn’t find any pictures or traces of it. Then I remembered the Pogo Stick and figured I try searching for Pogo Ball and to my surprise I found it. I really don’t remember it being called a Pogo Ball though… [Link]

Remember I posted about the vintage Matchbox car that was selling for $300 on eBay? Well I checked the status of the auction today and it turns out the car ended up selling for $1,385! [Link]

Fans of the The Office, The IT Crowd and Office Space will like this. Buy an army of employees and have them work in their cubicles for 8 hours straight and if you are in a really bad mood force them to work overtime.

In this office, you’re the boss!

Each set costs around $13. [Link]

I have a passion for vintage toys and video games and recently I realized if I had a lot of extra cash lying around what I would love to start collecting is vintage Matchbox cars like the one pictured above and currently currently going for $330 on eBay!. Thats one expensive little toy car…

I was watching two items on eBay today, the first was a brand new boxed Popeye Game & Watch, the second was a brand new boxed Oil Panic Game & Watch. I was willing to pay max $200 which I figured was a pretty good chunk of change but I just got home and checked to find out that I lost both bids. Both items got sold for around $270 each!

update: Just lost another bid this time on a boxed Simon, but whats messed up is I lost by 50 cents only!

Does anyone remember the game Simon (pictured above)? I’ve asked a few people around the office and even showed them pictures but none of them seem to remember it. They sell for really cheap on eBay.

Fantasy World are selling a bunch of Transformer toys but the highlight has to be the large Optimus Prime action figure. They are selling it for around KD37 but on Amazon its being sold for $65. I’ve seen the same model but the limited edition Japanese version (metal) in Muthana Complex for KD80.

This one’s for the ladies. Hot Toys have created a 12inch (height) Michael Scofield collectible figure. For some reason though they made him look cross eyed. [Link]

This has to be the weirdest action figure ever.. [Link]

Since no one ever agrees to buy me toys for Christmas I end up having to buy them for myself. This year I bought myself a radio controlled car and a Lego Technic set.

The Optimus Prime 12inch action figure is back on sale on Amazon.com. I wanted it around 2 years ago but they stopped making them. Good to see its now available again. [Link]

We got this game yesterday from Sultan Center to play at work and the game really sucks. Its complicated and not fun at all. We ended up creating our own game with our own rules because the original was so crap. On the bright side it costs only KD3.750.
