Sphero BB-8 App-enabled Droid

Earlier this week The Force Awakens (which is spectacular by the way) was released, and to celebrate, why not buy some new Star Wars products.

This one is a droid called BB-8. A droid built for the resistance, BB-8 is extremely loyal, and will never give up on any missions you give him. And is absolutely adorable.



Now, the Force is definitely strong with this toy. When we think of moving toys (that isn't anything to do with Toy Story), we think of ones we move with a remote control. This one you move with your tablet. You can't get much cooler than that.

Actually, you have merely BEGUN to hear about the awesomeness of this toy (if it can be called that, seeing how great it is). If you do not have a compatible tablet or phone, he is voice activated. Watch him run when you yell it's a trap, or order him to patrol.

Using your app, you can record holographic videos for him to play. It is just like he is a real companion for you. Like a pet, only without the responability (now who does not want that), and from Star Wars. Yes, this is probably the most awesome Star Wars product.

Here is a link to the GB version.



This is great for any fan of Star Wars. Now, I want one so bad.

DC Collectibles Batman 75th Anniversary Action Figure 4-Packs

In July 2014, it was a good time to be a Batman fan. It was the 75th anniversary of Batman. As part of the anniversary, DC Collectibles have released a number of 4-packs of Batman figures. This is one
of them.
  
This limited edition set of 4 figures based on the artwork of the creator of The Dark Knight, Bob Kane, art legend Jim Lee, Darwyne Cook and one based on the bestselling game Arkham Origins. It is a must buy for any fan of DC collectible figures. Each one has meticulous detail, to look like the actual rendition of the character. Each figure is cased in a gloss metal tin, and comes with a display stand for showing off on wherever you keep your figures, for any visiting comic fans to see.

As DC Collectibles are awesome, they released a second set.

This one is the same, as it has four Batman figures, each one in a nice tin. They are based on the ones from Greg Capullo, Frank Miller writer of the two greatest Batman graphic novels, The Dark Knight Return and Zero Year, Alex Ross and Alex Toth.

Buy now, and get them both reduced!

Doctor Who 11 Doctors Set



Here is a set of 11 Doctors, which was all the Doctors when it was released.

Each one is well detailed and articulated, so they are just like the actual Doctor they are a figure of. Most of them come with what ever their accessory was in the TV show. One comes with his cane, two comes with his recorder. Three, four, five, eight, nine, ten and eleven come with their own sonic screwdrivers, and seven has his famous umbrella.

It is a bargain price at $95.95, which works out to be about $8.70 per figure. In fact, I can not even find the eighth Doctor figure. It is also hard to find the 10th Doctor with glasses, making it an even better set.

The figures have a lot of articulation, making them great for the younger fans, as well as the great detail for collectors.

Likely some of the best Doctor Who figures I have seen, if not the best.




Star Wars Collectible Figure Playset

Here is a set of figures from Star Wars. Each one is highly detailed and screen accurate.


The set is designed for collectors, so they are highly collectible. In the set you get 8 figures, of some of the best Star Wars characters, stormtrooper, Darth Vader, R2-D2, ewok, Yoda, Boba Fett, Chewbacca and C-3PO.

The set is theme park exclusive, so they are hard to find, unless you go to a disney theme park.

A must buy for all Star Wars figures collectors.

Star Trek Figure Collectors Set

During the 90s, Playmates released a line of Star Trek figures, from The Original Series, this is a collectors set of them.

The set comes with seven awesome Star Trek TOS figures, Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Bones, Chekov, and Scotty, each one very detailed for the 90s. All the figures comes with the following cool accessories, a brilliant display stand, a phaser, and a communicator. The set was limited edition, so it is a bargain, especially, with $25 off!

The packaging also has a display base, with the iconic captains chair. Each figure comes with the following cool accessories, a brilliant display stand, a phaser, and a communicator. The base is just like the one in the TV show.

Star Trek figures are hard to find, but a limited edition set from the 90s must be a great find! You can now buy them, and display them, or play with them as they are articulated.

So buy now, if you want to have some of the rarest Star Trek figures.

Star Wars Original Trilogy Unaltered

For years, Star Wars fans have been waiting for unaltered versions of their favourite movies. But now we can finally watch them! We will not have to put up with Greedo shooting first, making it seem like Han Solo would only shoot in self defence. We will no longer have to put up with the changed voice of Boba Fett. We will no longer have to put up with Hayden Christian playing Anakin as a force ghost.

When Star Wars was first released, it was a cultural phenomenon. Everybody was talking about it. It changed film history, introduced amazing practical effects, and amazing action. Everything about it was good. And who on Earth does not know about Darth Vader, or the Force? The George Lucas decided to ruin it. Well done, Lucas, well done. But now we have a DVD with both versions! Here it is!



You know how I said Star Wars was nothing like anyone had ever seen? This is a sequel better than the original. Featuring better story, better action (like that AMAZING duel on the cloud city, and the battle of Hoth), new characters (like the ever-wise, backwards talking Yoda), and was just better. It had a more darker tone, and was more emotionally complex. The plot twist was mesmerizing for anyone watching! The Imperial March track was also great. Here it is without the stupid "enhancements"




Last was Return of the Jedi. The first one in which the Emporer is in person, and plays a better part in the film. The Battle of Endor is still amazing, to this day. Luke being tempted to the max, and nearly killing Vader! But did not, refusing to be controlled by the Datk Side. And Darth Vader saved the day, as Palpatine nearly killed Luke!

The game is played in turns, which allow them to buy facilities and ships, commission Admirals (you get one but can purchase more). If players engage in contact, they have to resolve it.
