Speaking of Legos, has anyone seen the commercial for the new Legos Eggos waffles? You can now play with them. Weird.

I haven’t seen the commercial, but I have a feeling the phrase "Leggo my Eggo!" comes into play.

My mom got those eggos after I told her about them, and well… they are cool looking and all, but you really can’t play with them too well. :/ I mean, it would be basically the same as building with regular eggos, sorry to say.

Just picked up the King Kong Special Edition (and it came with a free box of Goobers!). I want to watch the feature but I just watched a bunch of Deadliest Catch so I’m at my scary shipwreck quota for the day. On to the bonuses!

Wow. I take back SOME of the bad things I said about Wal-Mart. I bought the big special edition GOBLET OF FIRE DVD there yesterday but I didnt really miss it until today. I looked everywhere for this thing and I finally make the desperation call to the store. Guess what? It was there. Mixed feelings: While I am glad that they were honest and all, this still never should have happened. I guess a win is a win though so VIVA WAL-MART…for now.

I still firmly believe–in the face of abundant evidence to the contrary–that the coolest legos ever made were the ones we used to play with at my grandma’s house. They had belonged to my dad and his nine siblings, and they were 1970s era "space legos." You just don’t get predominantly blue and grey color schemes in legos these days. We spent days trying to build Star Wars vehicles, even though we had the combined engineering expertise of a garden slug. Mostly, we ended up with lopsided monstrosities which only resembled spaceships because we held them up while saying "This is a spaceship, k?" And then we would slide them across the linoleum floor until they hit the crack under the door and exploded. Best toy ever.

I have been passing on the latest wave of Star Wars legos for a while now and I don’t know why. The A-Wing, B-Wing and Interceptor are all sweet. The B-Wing even comes with Ten Numb! I think I may have to get Slave 1 today tho, he comes with Dengar, IG-88 and Boba Fett…

and Jedoc… old school legos were the greatest!!

Sometimes I think I’m the only person in the world who never really cared about Legos. Probably because I could never build anything that looked like anything. My Lego projects were usually limited to stacking a bunch together to make a "brick wall," so I could run my Hot Wheels into it, or so that He-Man couldn’t get to Skeletor. Because he was on the other side of the wall, see.

Kinglash:

My MP Prime keeps everyone in check, except it goes to his head sometimes. Just because he has the long smokestacks and all…

He laughs at Omega Prime because he’s all plastic…

Prime is such a dick…almost as big of a dick as Superman….

I don’t know if any of you are threadless.com people, but if you are and even if you are not, click on my name. There is a Peeps t-shirt in the running and I want it. And I can’t add much more to the legos discussion.

People are selling the discontinued Vanilla Coke on EBay at huge prices. $45 for one case? Hilarious.

Just type it in at Ebay.

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 03/29/2006 1:00 PM

kb I had no idea the Merch was such a fan of the Peeps.

You know, I was going to say "The HTML ate my colon," but it’s lunchtime in my time zone, and it occurs to me that the mental images conjured up by that statement could really ruin somebody’s meal.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 03/29/2006 1:21 PM

doesn’t HTML mean Harass The Muontain Lion?

Superdickery is a great site to brighten up your day. He’s no Captain Hero in the dickery department, but he’s close.

The only branded lego sets I have are a Star Wars Droid fighter, Green Goblin attacking MJ, and Spidey’s subway set with Ol’ Webhead, Ock, Jolly Jonah, and a nondescript transit worker. I’m going to get the SW Greivous set for the General’s Lego likeness and big lizard, the Obi-Wan figure is a bonus. Greivous and Otto can argue about who has the better set of arms.

He-Man could so punch through a lego wall.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff @ 03/29/2006 3:56 PM

Possibly, possibly. But I doubt even he could budge a wall of Mega Bloks that are squeezed together really tight. Those things form a bond on the molecular level that can only be broken by prying at the near-nonexistant crack with your thumbnail until you bleed.

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 03/29/2006 6:04 PM

Jedoc: Ha ha! I agree- those damn Mega Bloks could make a kid cry. All that work, then you cannot take the damn things apart!

I LOVE Legos to death, but I am currently Lego-less. After reading all of these posts, I am not sure if I can continue to live this way.

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 03/29/2006 7:42 PM

Jedoc, I grew up with the kind of blue and gray "space" Legos you describe. However, I was born in 1977 and I don’t think that the toys I played with could be called "70s era." Perhaps the style lasted into the 80s, or you’re mistaken about the age of the bricks. Actually, I think my mom still has them somewhere. She usually drags them out when young kids come over.

One of the last sets I got (up until last weekend anyway) was probably the coolest one. It was an entirely black set of space Legos. The blue and grey Legos didn’t stand a chance.

I need to stage a royal rumble to decide who commands my toy collection. My Masterpiece Optimus Prime is the wussy American version, so I don’t think he’d win. The other incarnations of Prime (vintage G1, re-release G1, Powermaster, RID, Energon, Armada and BM) just don’t have the size or heft. Fortress Maximus or Scorponok might win on sheer size, but I think my squadron of Veritechs (the first 5 masterpieces and Jetfire) might cheat and work together.

Does anyone else find it annoying when your parents let their young visitors play with your old toys? Of course, I was an only child, so I never did learn to share very well. I try to be a grownup, but I still wince sometimes when I see a kid do something especially violent to one of my old treasures.

When I was a kid (about 6) my parents gave away our jungle gym. It was one of those dome ones made with triangle shapes. They gave it to my mom’s friend’s kid. I was SO MAD. It wasn’t even as though we (me and my sisters) didn’t play on it, cause we did. And in the winter we’d throw old sheets on it and then pile snow on it and make an igloo. It was the coolest yard toy ever.
Ugh, I’m getting upset over it. Rant over.

Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 03/29/2006 8:25 PM

Hmmmm, random stuff that pops into my head…usually song lyrics from the most annoying songs ever. An example? A song listing the months that I heard in preschool. At least once a month I get that damn thing stuck in my head.

I’m really not sure what my first X-E article was. I was directed here by the Queen of Wands webcomic about 2 1/2 years ago. I was hooked from day one! Oh, and I read the Bitnerblog in one day when I stumbled across it…what a trip! I just wish I’d been there for it. Since I wasn’t there, is it ok for me to say that missing it was so Bitner?

Chestnuts roasted by Kieran Alexis @ 04/09/2006 1:48 AM

Late addition here, but I first discovered X-Entertainment after one of my fellow reporters at Richard Stockton College’s school newspaper gave it a glowing review. I don’t even remember what my first article was anymore, but the ones that made me a fan were the original trip to Wildwood and Atlantic City articles. I’d lived down at the shore all my life, and it was great to see the Boardwalk and AC from the perspective of one of the multitudes of tourists who invaded my then-home every year.
